|
Version 0.8 offers a major upgrade in the AltosUI
|
|
interface.
|
|
|
|
== AltosUI Application:
|
|
|
|
* Post-flight graphing tool. This lets you explore the
|
|
behaviour of your rocket after flight with a scroll-able and
|
|
zoom-able chart showing the altitude, speed and acceleration
|
|
of the airframe along with events recorded by the flight
|
|
computer. You can export graphs to PNG files, or print them
|
|
directly.
|
|
|
|
* Real-time moving map which overlays the in-progress flight
|
|
on satellite imagery fetched from Google Maps. This lets you
|
|
see in pictures where your rocket has landed, allowing you
|
|
to plan recovery activities more accurately.
|
|
|
|
* Wireless recovery system testing. Prep your rocket for
|
|
flight and test fire the deployment charges to make sure
|
|
things work as expected. All without threading wires through
|
|
holes in your airframe.
|
|
|
|
* Optimized flight status displays. Each flight state now has
|
|
it's own custom 'tab' in the flight monitoring window so you
|
|
can focus on the most important details. Pre-flight, the
|
|
system shows a set of red/green status indicators for
|
|
battery voltage, apogee/main igniter continutity and GPS
|
|
reception. Wait until they're all green and your rocket is
|
|
ready for flight. There are also tabs for ascent, descent
|
|
and landing along with the original tabular view of the
|
|
data.
|
|
|
|
* Monitor multiple flights simultaneously. If you have more
|
|
than one TeleDongle, you can monitor a flight with each one
|
|
on the same computer.
|
|
|
|
* Automatic flight monitoring at startup. Plug TeleDongle into
|
|
the machine before starting AltosUI and it will
|
|
automatically connect to it and prepare to monitor a flight.
|
|
|
|
* Exports Google Earth flight tracks. Using the Keyhole Markup
|
|
Language (.kml) file format, this provides a 3D view of your
|
|
rocket flight through the Google Earth program.
