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