- Flight Monitoring + Altos Droid Flight Monitoring + + Altos Droid is designed to mimic the AltosUI flight monitoring + display, providing separate tabs for each stage of your rocket + flight along with a tab containing a map of the local area + with icons marking the current location of the altimeter and + the Android device. + +
+ Pad + + The 'Launch Pad' tab shows information used to decide when the + rocket is ready for flight. The first elements include red/green + indicators, if any of these is red, you'll want to evaluate + whether the rocket is ready to launch: + + + + Battery Voltage. This indicates whether the Li-Po battery + powering the TeleMetrum has sufficient charge to last for + the duration of the flight. A value of more than + 3.7V is required for a 'GO' status. + + + + + Apogee Igniter Voltage. This indicates whether the apogee + igniter has continuity. If the igniter has a low + resistance, then the voltage measured here will be close + to the Li-Po battery voltage. A value greater than 3.2V is + required for a 'GO' status. + + + + + Main Igniter Voltage. This indicates whether the main + igniter has continuity. If the igniter has a low + resistance, then the voltage measured here will be close + to the Li-Po battery voltage. A value greater than 3.2V is + required for a 'GO' status. + + + + + On-board Data Logging. This indicates whether there is + space remaining on-board to store flight data for the + upcoming flight. If you've downloaded data, but failed + to erase flights, there may not be any space + left. TeleMetrum can store multiple flights, depending + on the configured maximum flight log size. TeleMini + stores only a single flight, so it will need to be + downloaded and erased after each flight to capture + data. This only affects on-board flight logging; the + altimeter will still transmit telemetry and fire + ejection charges at the proper times. + + + + + GPS Locked. For a TeleMetrum device, this indicates whether the GPS receiver is + currently able to compute position information. GPS requires + at least 4 satellites to compute an accurate position. + + + + + GPS Ready. For a TeleMetrum device, this indicates whether GPS has reported at least + 10 consecutive positions without losing lock. This ensures + that the GPS receiver has reliable reception from the + satellites. + + + + + The Launchpad tab also shows the computed launch pad position + and altitude, averaging many reported positions to improve the + accuracy of the fix. + + +
