7 Version 1.2.1 is a minor release. It adds support for TeleBT and
8 the AltosDroid application, provides several new features in
9 AltosUI and fixes some bugs in the AltOS firmware.
12 AltOS Firmware Changes
16 Add support for TeleBT
21 In TeleMini recovery mode (when booted with the outer two
22 debug pins connected together), the radio parameters are also
23 set back to defaults (434.550MHz, N0CALL, factory radio cal).
28 Add support for reflashing the SkyTraq GPS chips. This
29 requires special host-side code which currently only exists
35 Correct Kalman filter model error covariance matrix. The
36 values used previously assumed continuous measurements instead
37 of discrete measurements.
42 Fix some bugs in the USB driver for TeleMetrum and TeleDongle
43 that affected Windows users.
48 Adjusted the automatic gain control parameters that affect
49 receive performance for TeleDongle. Field tests indicate that this
50 may improve receive performance somewhat.
60 Handle missing GPS lock in 'Descent' tab. Previously, if the
61 GPS position of the pad was unknown, an exception would be
62 raised, breaking the Descent tab contents.
67 Improve the graph, adding tool-tips to show values near the
68 cursor and making the displayed set of values configurable,
69 adding all of the flight data as options while leaving the
70 default settings alone so that the graph starts by showing
71 height, speed and acceleration.
76 Make the initial position of the AltosUI top level window
77 configurable. Along with this change, the other windows will
78 pop up at 'sensible' places now, instead of on top of one
84 Add callsign to Monitor idle window and connecting
85 dialogs. This makes it clear which callsign is being used so
86 that the operator will be aware that it must match the flight
87 computer value or no communication will work.
92 When downloading flight data, display the block number so that
93 the user has some sense of progress. Unfortunately, we don't
94 know how many blocks will need to be downloaded, but at least
95 it isn't just sitting there doing nothing for a long time.
100 Add GPS data and a map to the graph window. This lets you see
101 a complete summary of the flight without needing to 'replay'
