|
|
|
Version 1.1 is a minor release. It provides a few new features
|
|
in AltosUI and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs.
|
|
|
|
== AltOS
|
|
|
|
AltOS Firmware New Features:
|
|
|
|
* Add apogee-lockout value. Overrides the apogee
|
|
detection logic to prevent incorrect apogee charge
|
|
firing.
|
|
|
|
* Force the radio frequency to 434.550MHz when the
|
|
debug clock pin is connected to ground at boot
|
|
time. This provides a way to talk to a TeleMini
|
|
which is configured to some unknown frequency.
|
|
|
|
* Provide RSSI values for Monitor Idle mode. This
|
|
makes it easy to check radio range without needing
|
|
to go to flight mode.
|
|
|
|
AltOS Fixes:
|
|
|
|
* Fix a bug where the data reported in telemetry
|
|
packets was from 320ms ago.
|
|
|
|
* Fix a bug which caused the old received telemetry
|
|
packets to be retransmitted over the USB link when
|
|
the radio was turned off and back on.
|
|
|
|
== AltosUI
|
|
|
|
AltosUI New Features:
|
|
|
|
* Make the look-n-feel configurable, providing a choice from
|
|
the available options.
|
|
|
|
* Add an 'Age' element to mark how long since a
|
|
telemetry packet has been received. Useful to
|
|
quickly gauge whether communications with the rocket
|
|
are still active.
|
|
|
|
* Add 'Configure Ground Station' dialog to set the
|
|
radio frequency used by a particular TeleDongle
|
|
without having to go through the flight monitor UI.
|
|
|
|
* Add configuration for the new apogee-lockout
|
|
value. A menu provides a list of reasonable values,
|
|
or the value can be set by hand.
|
|
|
|
* Add Imperial units mode to present data in feet
|
|
instead of meters.
|
|
|
|
AltosUI Fixes:
|
|
|
|
* Fix a bug that caused GPS ready to happen too
|
|
quickly. The software was using every telemetry
|
|
packet to signal new GPS data, which caused GPS
|
|
ready to be signalled after 10 packets instead of 10
|
|
GPS updates.
|
|
|
|
* Fix Google Earth data export to work with recent
|
|
versions. The google earth file loading code got a
|
|
lot pickier, requiring some minor white space
|
|
changes in the export code.
|
|
|
|
* Changed how flight data are downloaded. Now there's
|
|
an initial dialog asking which flights to download,
|
|
and after that finishes, a second dialog comes up
|
|
asking which flights to delete.
|
|
|
|
* Re-compute time spent in each state for the flight
|
|
graph; this figures out the actual boost and landing
|
|
times instead of using the conservative values
|
|
provide by the flight electronics. This improves the
|
|
accuracy of the boost acceleration and main descent
|
|
rate computations.
|
|
|
|
* Make AltosUI run on Mac OS Lion. The default Java
|
|
heap space was dramatically reduced for this release
|
|
causing much of the UI to fail randomly. This most
|
|
often affected the satellite mapping download and
|
|
displays.
|
|
|
|
* Change how data are displayed in the 'table' tab of
|
|
the flight monitoring window. This eliminates
|
|
entries duplicated from the header and adds both
|
|
current altitude and pad altitude, which are useful
|
|
in 'Monitor Idle' mode.
