= Release Notes for Version 1.5
|
|
include::release-head.adoc[]
|
|
|
|
Version 1.5 is a major release. It includes support for our new
|
|
EasyMega product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight
|
|
software for all our boards and the AltosUI ground station
|
|
|
|
== AltOS
|
|
|
|
AltOS New Features
|
|
|
|
* Add support for EasyMega boards.
|
|
|
|
* Make the APRS SSID be configurable. This lets you track
|
|
different rockets on the same receiver without getting
|
|
things mixed up.
|
|
|
|
* Report extra pyro channel continuity state on EasyMega and
|
|
TeleMega via the beeper. This lets you easily verify flight
|
|
readiness on these boards after powering up the electronics
|
|
on the rail.
|
|
|
|
* Add lower telemetry data rates (2400 and 9600 bps) to
|
|
increase telemetry radio range. This reduces the amount of
|
|
data received as well as increasing battery consumption in
|
|
the transmitter.
|
|
|
|
* Change TeleGPS to have only a single log, and append new
|
|
data to it rather than using seperate per-flight logs. This
|
|
avoids accidentally filling up log storage by turning
|
|
TeleGPS on/off several times.
|
|
|
|
AltOS Fixes
|
|
|
|
* Increase the maximum range for altitude values from +/-32767m
|
|
to +/-2147483647m, allowing the flight computers to function
|
|
correctly above the 32km level.
|
|
|
|
* Continuously test pyro firing conditions during delay stage,
|
|
inhibiting the pyro channel if the test fails. This prevents
|
|
firing pyro charges where the conditions were good before
|
|
the delay, but become bad before the delay expires.
|
|
|
|
* Allow negative numbers in pyro configuration values. This
|
|
lets you specify things like descending speed or
|
|
deceleration.
|
|
|
|
== AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications
|
|
|
|
AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features
|
|
|
|
* Support telemetry baud rate selection. Adds menus to
|
|
the flight monitoring and configuration for baud rate
|
|
selection.
|
|
|
|
* Support APRS SSID configuration.
|
|
|
|
* Integrate with file managers. This provides icons for all of
|
|
our file types and associates our application with the files
|
|
so that using a file manager to open a AltOS data file
|
|
results in launching our application.
|
|
|
|
AltosUI Fixes
|
|
|
|
* Make the 'Graph' button on the landed tab work again.
|
|
|
|
* Make tests for Java on Windows a bit smarter, and also
|
|
provide the user with the option to skip installing Java for
|
|
cases where we just can't figure out what version is installed.
