|

Version 1.1.1 is a bug-fix release. It fixes a couple of bugs
|
||||
in AltosUI and one firmware bug that affects TeleMetrum
|
||||
version 1.0 boards. Thanks to Bob Brown for help diagnosing
|
||||
the Google Earth file export issue, and for suggesting the
|
||||
addition of the Ground Distance value in the Descent tab.
|
||||
|
||||
== AltOS
|
||||
|
||||
AltOS fixes:
|
||||
|
||||
* TeleMetrum v1.0 boards use the AT45DB081D flash
|
||||
memory part to store flight data, which is different
|
||||
from later TeleMetrum boards. The AltOS v1.1 driver
|
||||
for this chip couldn't erase memory, leaving it
|
||||
impossible to delete flight data or update
|
||||
configuration values. This bug doesn't affect newer
|
||||
TeleMetrum boards, and it doesn't affect the safety
|
||||
of rockets flying version 1.1 firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
== AltosUI
|
||||
|
||||
AltosUI new features:
|
||||
|
||||
* The “Descent” tab displays the range to the rocket,
|
||||
which is a combination of the over-the-ground
|
||||
distance to the rockets current latitude/longitude
|
||||
and the height of the rocket. As such, it's useful
|
||||
for knowing how far away the rocket is, but
|
||||
difficult to use when estimating where the rocket
|
||||
might eventually land. A new “Ground Distance” field
|
||||
has been added which displays the distance to a spot
|
||||
right underneath the rocket.
|
||||
|
||||
AltosUI fixes:
|
||||
|
||||
* Creating a Google Earth file (KML) from on-board
|
||||
flight data (EEPROM) would generate an empty
|
||||
file. The code responsible for reading the EEPROM
|
||||
file wasn't ever setting the GPS valid bits, and so
|
||||
the KML export code thought there was no GPS data in
|
||||
the file.
|
||||
|
||||
* The “Landed” tab was displaying all values in metric
|
||||
units, even when AltosUI was configured to display
|
||||
imperial units. Somehow I just missed this tab when
|
||||
doing the units stuff.
|
||||
|
||||
* Sensor data wasn't being displayed for TeleMini
|
||||
flight computers in Monitor Idle mode, including
|
||||
things like battery voltage. The code that picked
|
||||
which kinds of data to fetch from the flight
|
||||
computer was missing a check for TeleMini when
|
||||
deciding whether to fetch the analog sensor data.
