Rockets with TeleMetrum boards +have exceeded 50g acceleration, been well above Mach 1, and reached altitudes +greater than 25k feet AGL with great results. Keith's second generation +ground station program called altosui works on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems +and logs telemetry to disk, displays current and max values for key parameters +during flight, and even includes voice synthesis during the flight so that +our eyes can stay on the rockets! After flight, altosui can extract the +complete flight log from TeleMetrum, can display plots of the data from either +the telemetry received by radio or the onboard flight log, can output a kml +file for use with [Google Earth](http://earth.google.com), and can also +output all the flight data as a csv file for easy import to spreadsheet +programs or other analysis tools allowing you to perform whatever +custom analysis you can envision! More details on the software, +including full source code and pre-built packages can be found on the [AltOS](../AltOS) page on this site. ## Future Plans ## -As of May 2010, version v1.0 is available for sale from the -[Garbee and Garbee](http://auric.gag.com) web store. - -Because we understand that not everyone uses Linux, development of a new -cross-platform ground station program written in Java is underway for use with -[AltOS](../AltOS). +TeleMetrum v1.0 meets all of our expectations. We anticipate another +production run of boards soon, which will include minor design tweeks mostly +to work around component availability issues. ## Problems ## -- 2.47.2
