- Version 1.1 is a minor release. It provides a few new features in AltosUI
- and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs.
- </p><p>
- AltOS Firmware Changes
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
- Add apogee-lockout value. Overrides the apogee detection logic to
- prevent incorrect apogee charge firing.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Fix a bug where the data reported in telemetry packets was
- from 320ms ago.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Force the radio frequency to 434.550MHz when the debug clock
- pin is connected to ground at boot time. This provides a way
- to talk to a TeleMini which is configured to some unknown frequency.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Provide RSSI values for Monitor Idle mode. This makes it easy to check radio
- range without needing to go to flight mode.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Fix a bug which caused the old received telemetry packets to
- be retransmitted over the USB link when the radio was turned
- off and back on.

- AltosUI Changes
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
- Fix a bug that caused GPS ready to happen too quickly. The
- software was using every telemetry packet to signal new GPS
- data, which caused GPS ready to be signalled after 10 packets
- instead of 10 GPS updates.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Fix Google Earth data export to work with recent versions. The
- google earth file loading code got a lot pickier, requiring
- some minor white space changes in the export code.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Make the look-n-feel configurable, providing a choice from
- the available options.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Add an 'Age' element to mark how long since a telemetry packet
- has been received. Useful to quickly gauge whether
- communications with the rocket are still active.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Add 'Configure Ground Station' dialog to set the radio
- frequency used by a particular TeleDongle without having to go
- through the flight monitor UI.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Add configuration for the new apogee-lockout value. A menu provides a list of
- reasonable values, or the value can be set by hand.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Changed how flight data are downloaded. Now there's an initial
- dialog asking which flights to download, and after that
- finishes, a second dialog comes up asking which flights to delete.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Re-compute time spent in each state for the flight graph; this
- figures out the actual boost and landing times instead of
- using the conservative values provide by the flight
- electronics. This improves the accuracy of the boost
- acceleration and main descent rate computations.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Make AltosUI run on Mac OS Lion. The default Java heap space
- was dramatically reduced for this release causing much of the
- UI to fail randomly. This most often affected the satellite
- mapping download and displays.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Change how data are displayed in the 'table' tab of the flight
- monitoring window. This eliminates entries duplicated from the
- header and adds both current altitude and pad altitude, which
- are useful in 'Monitor Idle' mode.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Add Imperial units mode to present data in feet instead of
- meters.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
