1 = Release Notes for Version 1.6
5 Version 1.6 includes support for our updated TeleDongle v3.0
6 product and bug fixes in in the flight software for all our boards
7 and ground station interfaces.
13 * Add support for TeleDongle v3.0 boards.
17 * Don't beep out the continuity twice by accident in idle mode.
18 If the battery voltage report takes longer than the initialiation
19 sequence, the igniter continuity would get reported twice.
21 * Record all 32 bits of gyro calibration data in TeleMega and
22 EasyMega log files. This fixes computation of the gyro rates
25 * Change TeleDongle LED usage. Green LED flashes when valid
26 packet is received. Red LED flashes when invalid packet is
29 * Replace LPC11U14 SPI driver with non-interrupt version. The
30 interrupt code would occasionally wedge on long transfers
31 if interrupts were blocked for too long. This affects all
32 released TeleGPS products; if you have a TeleGPS device,
33 you'll want to reflash the firmware.
35 == AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications
37 AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features
39 * Compute tilt angle from TeleMega and EasyMega log
40 files. This duplicates the quaternion-based angle tracking
41 code from the flight firmware inside the ground station
42 software so that post-flight analysis can include evaluation
45 * Shows the tool button window when starting with a data file
46 specified. This means that opening a data file from the file
47 manager will now bring up the main window to let you operate
48 the whole application.
52 * Show the 'Connecting' dialog when using Monitor Idle. Lets
53 you cancel the Monitor Idle startup when connecting over the
56 * Make 'Monitor Idle' work for TeleGPS devices when connected
57 over USB. It's nice for testing without needing to broadcast
60 * Use different Windows API to discover USB devices. This
61 works better on my Windows 7 box, and will be used if the
62 older API fails to provide the necessary information.
64 * Look in more places in the registry to try and identify the
65 installed Java version on Windows. If you install the
66 default 32-bit version of Windows on a 64-bit OS, the Java
67 registry information is hiding \SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node for
70 * Fix file association on Windows by searching for the
71 javaw.exe program instead of assuming it is in
72 %SYSTEMROOT%. This makes double-clicking on Altus Metrum
73 data files in the file manager work correctly.
75 * When replaying a file, put 'done' in the Age field when we
76 reach the end of the file, instead of continuing to count forever.
78 * In the Scan Channels code, wait for five seconds if we see
79 any packet. This is needed because AltOS now sends the
80 callsign, serial number and flight number only once every
81 five seconds these days.
83 * In the Scan Channels code, reset pending flight state
84 information each time we change channels. This avoids having
85 flight computers appear on multiple frequencies by accident.
