2 Version 1.1 is a minor release. It provides a few new features in AltosUI
3 and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs.
6 </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
7 Add apogee-lockout value. Overrides the apogee detection logic to
8 prevent incorrect apogee charge firing.
9 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
10 Fix a bug where the data reported in telemetry packets was
12 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
13 Force the radio frequency to 434.550MHz when the debug clock
14 pin is connected to ground at boot time. This provides a way
15 to talk to a TeleMini which is configured to some unknown frequency.
16 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
17 Provide RSSI values for Monitor Idle mode. This makes it easy to check radio
18 range without needing to go to flight mode.
19 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
20 Fix a bug which caused the old received telemetry packets to
21 be retransmitted over the USB link when the radio was turned
23 </p></li></ul></div><p>
26 </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
27 Fix a bug that caused GPS ready to happen too quickly. The
28 software was using every telemetry packet to signal new GPS
29 data, which caused GPS ready to be signalled after 10 packets
30 instead of 10 GPS updates.
31 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
32 Fix Google Earth data export to work with recent versions. The
33 google earth file loading code got a lot pickier, requiring
34 some minor white space changes in the export code.
35 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
36 Make the look-n-feel configurable, providing a choice from
37 the available options.
38 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
39 Add an 'Age' element to mark how long since a telemetry packet
40 has been received. Useful to quickly gauge whether
41 communications with the rocket are still active.
42 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
43 Add 'Configure Ground Station' dialog to set the radio
44 frequency used by a particular TeleDongle without having to go
45 through the flight monitor UI.
46 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
47 Add configuration for the new apogee-lockout value. A menu provides a list of
48 reasonable values, or the value can be set by hand.
49 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
50 Changed how flight data are downloaded. Now there's an initial
51 dialog asking which flights to download, and after that
52 finishes, a second dialog comes up asking which flights to delete.
53 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
54 Re-compute time spent in each state for the flight graph; this
55 figures out the actual boost and landing times instead of
56 using the conservative values provide by the flight
57 electronics. This improves the accuracy of the boost
58 acceleration and main descent rate computations.
59 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
60 Make AltosUI run on Mac OS Lion. The default Java heap space
61 was dramatically reduced for this release causing much of the
62 UI to fail randomly. This most often affected the satellite
63 mapping download and displays.
64 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
65 Change how data are displayed in the 'table' tab of the flight
66 monitoring window. This eliminates entries duplicated from the
67 header and adds both current altitude and pad altitude, which
68 are useful in 'Monitor Idle' mode.
69 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
70 Add Imperial units mode to present data in feet instead of
72 </p></li></ul></div><p>
