1 = Release Notes for Version 1.6.3
5 Version 1.6.3 adds idle mode to AltosDroid and has bug fixes
6 for our host software on desktops, laptops an android devices
7 along with BlueTooth support for Windows.
13 * Fix hardware flow control on TeleBT v3.0. RTS/CTS is
14 wired backwards on this board, switch from using the
15 hardware to driving these pins with software.
17 == AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications
19 AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features:
21 * Add BlueTooth support for Windows operating system. This
22 supports connections to TeleBT over BlueTooth rather than
25 AltosUI and TeleGPS Fixes:
27 * Change Java detection and install on Windows. Detection is
28 now done by looking for the 'javaw.exe' program, and
29 installation by opening a browser on the java.com web site.
31 * Delay polling while the Fire Igniters is visible to allow
32 for TeleMega to report back complete status over the radio.
34 * Disallow changing RF calibration numbers in the
35 configuration UI. There's no good reason to change this from
36 the field, and recovering is really hard if you haven't
37 written down the right number.
39 * Fix USB device discovery on Mac OS X El Capitan. This makes
40 the connected Altus Metrum USB devices appear again.
42 * Fix acceleration data presented in MonitorIdle mode for
43 TeleMetrum v2.0 flight computers.
47 AltosDroid new features:
49 * Monitor Idle mode. Check state of flight computer while in
50 idle mode over the radio link
52 * Fire Igniters. Remotely fire ignires for recovery system
55 * Remote reboot. Cause the flight computer to reboot over the
56 radio link. This provides a method for switching the flight
57 computer from idle to flight mode without needing to reach
60 * Configurable frequency menu. Change the set of available
61 frequencies and provide more descriptive names.
65 * Don't set target location if GPS hasn't locked yet.
67 * Fix saving target states so they can be reloaded when the
68 application restarts. When the application is shut down and
69 restarted, all previous target state information will be
70 restored (including GPS position if available).
72 * Fix crash on some Android devices for offline maps when
73 changing the map scale or location.
75 * Don't require USB OTG support. This kept the latest
76 AltosDroid from being offered on devices without USB device
77 support, although it can work without that just fine using
80 * Don't require bluetooth to be enabled. This allows the
81 application to operate with USB devices or just show old
82 data without turning on the bluetooth radio.
84 * Recover old tracker positions when restarting
85 application. This finally allows you to safely stop and
86 restart the application without losing the last known
87 location of any tracker.
91 * Document TeleMega and EasyMega additional pyro channel
92 continuity audio alert pattern.
