operation in all flight computers. Anyone using this option
must update firmware.</p><p>This release also contains a change in how flight computers
with accelerometers deal with speeds around and above Mach
1. In previous versions, the flight computer would completely
disregard the barometric sensor above 330m/s (around Mach
1). Now, the data from the barometric sensor is reduced in
effect without ever going away entirely. This prevents early
drogue deployment for flights which spend considerable time
above Mach 1.</p><p>1.8.1 also contains a couple of minor fixes for AltosUI when
analyzing saved data files.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_altos"></a>1. AltOS</h2></div></div></div><p>AltOS Bug Fixes</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">

Change Kalman filter on flight computers with accelerometer
