-Receive and log telemetry from a connected TeleDongle

-connected via USB, another Altus Metrum device can be
-reprogrammed using the supplied programming cable between

-Export Flight data to a comma-separated-values file. This
-takes either telemetry or on-board flight data and generates
-data suitable for use in external applications. All data is
-exported using standard units so that no device-specific
-knowledge is needed to handle the data.

-Speak to you during the flight. Instead of spending the
-flight hunched over your laptop looking at the screen, enjoy
-the view while the computer tells you what’s going on up
-there. During ascent, you hear the current flight state and
-altitude information. During descent, you get azimuth,
-elevation and range information to try and help you find
-your rocket in the air. Once on the ground, the direction
-and distance are reported.

AltOS</h2></div></div></div><p>AltOS Firmware New Features:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
-Add apogee-lockout value. Overrides the apogee
-detection logic to prevent incorrect apogee charge
-firing.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-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.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Provide RSSI values for Monitor Idle mode. This
-makes it easy to check radio range without needing
-to go to flight mode.
-</li></ul></div><p>AltOS Fixes:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
-Fix a bug where the data reported in telemetry
-packets was from 320ms ago.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-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.
-</li></ul></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_altosui"></a>2. AltosUI</h2></div></div></div><p>AltosUI New Features:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
-Make the look-n-feel configurable, providing a choice from
-the available options.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Add an <span class="emphasis"><em>Age</em></span> element to mark how long since a
-telemetry packet has been received. Useful to
-quickly gauge whether communications with the rocket
-are still active.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Add <span class="emphasis"><em>Configure Ground Station</em></span> dialog to set the
-radio frequency used by a particular TeleDongle
-without having to go through the flight monitor UI.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Add configuration for the new apogee-lockout
-value. A menu provides a list of reasonable values,
-or the value can be set by hand.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Add Imperial units mode to present data in feet
-instead of meters.
-</li></ul></div><p>AltosUI Fixes:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
-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.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-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.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-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.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-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.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-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.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Change how data are displayed in the <span class="emphasis"><em>table</em></span> 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 <span class="emphasis"><em>Monitor Idle</em></span> mode.

-Replace the <span class="emphasis"><em>dit dit dit</em></span> tones at startup with the

-without needing telemetry, which is especially
-useful on EasyMini.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Change state beeping to "Farnsworth spacing", which
-means they’re quite a bit faster than before, and so

-Fix bug preventing the selection of the <span class="emphasis"><em>Flight

-Add zooming and new content types (terrain and road
-maps) to map view. Change map storage format from
-PNG to Jpeg, which saves a huge amount of disk
-space. You will need to re-download all of your
-pre-loaded map images.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Add a distance measuring device to the maps
-view. Select this by using any button other than the
-left one, or by pressing shift or control on the

-</li><li class="listitem">
-Add new <span class="emphasis"><em>Ignitor</em></span> tab to the flight monitor display
-for TeleMega’s extra ignitors.

-Add additional ignitor firing marks and voltages to

-When flashing new firmware, re-try opening the

-operation.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Hide Tilt Angle in ascent tab for devices that don’t
-have a gyro.

-Increase the width of data lines in the graphs to
-make them easier to read.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Filter out speed and acceleration spikes caused by
-ejection charge firing when computing the maximum
-values. This provides a more accurate reading of
-those maximums.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Fix EasyMini voltage displays. Early EasyMini
-prototypes used a 3.0V regulator, and AltosUI still
-used that value as the basis of the
-computation. Production EasyMini boards have always
-shipped with a 3.3V regulator. Also, purple EasyMini
-boards sensed the battery voltage past the blocking
-diode, resulting in a drop of about 150mV from the
-true battery voltage. Compensate for that when
-displaying the value.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Display error message when trying to configure
-maximum flight log size while the flight computer
-still has flight data stored.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Handle TeleMetrum and TeleMini eeprom files
-generated with pre-1.0 firmware. Those ancient
