+ + Version 1.1.1 is a bug-fix release. It fixes a couple of bugs in + AltosUI and one firmware bug that affects TeleMetrum version 1.0 + boards.

The code responsible + for reading the EEPROM file wasn't ever setting the GPS valid + bits, and so the KML export code thought there was no GPS data + in the file. + + + The “Landed” tab was displaying all values in metric units, + even when AltosUI was configured to display imperial + units. Somehow I just missed this tab when doing the units stuff. + + + The “Descent” tab displays the range to the rocket, which is a + combination of the over-the-ground distance to the rockets + current latitude/longitude and the height of the rocket. As + such, it's useful for knowing how far away the rocket is, but + difficult to use when estimating where the rocket might + eventually land. A new “Ground Distance” field has been added + which displays the distance to a spot right underneath the + rocket. + + + Sensor data wasn't being displayed for TeleMini flight + computers in Monitor Idle mode, including things like battery + voltage.
