Release Notes for Version 1.3.1
Copyright © 2014 Bdale Garbee and Keith Packard
Version 1.3.1 is a minor release. It improves support for
TeleMega, TeleMetrum v2.0, TeleMini v2.0 and EasyMini.
AltOS new features:
-
Improved APRS mode. Now uses compressed position
format for smaller data size, improved precision and
to include altitude data as well as latitude and
longitude. Also added battery and pyro voltage
reports in the APRS comment field so you can confirm
that the unit is ready for launch.
AltOS fixes:
-
Improve sensor boot code. If sensors fail to
self-test, the device will still boot up and check
for pad/idle modes. If in idle mode, the device will
warn the user with a distinct beep, if in Pad mode,
the unit will operate as best it can. Also, the
Z-axis accelerometer now uses the factory
calibration values instead of re-calibrating on the
pad each time. This avoids accidental boost detect
when moving the device around while in Pad mode.
-
Fix antenna-down mode accelerometer
configuration. Antenna down mode wasn’t working
because the accelerometer calibration values were
getting re-computed incorrectly in inverted mode.
AltosUI new features:
-
Display additional TeleMega sensor values in real
units. Make all of these values available for
plotting. Display TeleMega orientation value in the
Ascent and Table tabs.
-
Support additional TeleMega pyro channels in the
Fire Igniter dialog. This lets you do remote testing
of all of the channels, rather than just Apogee and
Main.
AltosUI fixes:
-
Limit data rate when downloading satellite images
from Google to make sure we stay within their limits
so that all of the map tiles download successfully.
