+ + Version 1.4 is a major release. It includes support for our new + TeleGPS product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight + software for all our boards and the AltosUI ground station + + + AltOS Firmware Changes + + + + Add support for TeleGPS boards. + + + + + Replace the 'dit dit dit' tones at startup with the current + battery voltage, measured in tenths of a volt. This lets you + check the battery voltage without needing telemetry, which + is especially useful on EasyMini. + + + + + Change state beeping to "Farnsworth spacing", which means + they're quite a bit faster than before, and so they take + less time to send. + + + + + Make the beeper tone configurable, making it possible to + distinguish between two Altus Metrum products in the same ebay. + + + + + Fix bug preventing the selection of the 'Flight State After' + mode in pyro configuration. + + + + + + AltosUI new features + + + + Add zooming and new content types (terrain and road maps) to + map view. Change map storage format from PNG to Jpeg, which + saves a huge amount of disk space. You will need to + re-download all of your pre-loaded map images. + + + + + Add a distance measuring device to the maps view. Select + this by using any button other than the left one, or by + pressing shift or control on the keyboard while using the + left button. + + + + + Add new 'Ignitor' tab to the flight monitor display for + TeleMega's extra ignitors. + + + + + Increase the width of data lines in the graphs to make them + easier to read. + + + + + Add additional ignitor firing marks and voltages to the + graph so you can see when the ignitors fired, along with + the ignitor voltages. + + + + + Add GPS course, ground speed and climb rate as optional + graph elements. + + + + + + AltosUI fixes + + + + When flashing new firmware, re-try opening the device as + sometimes it takes a while for the underlying operating + system to recognize that the device has rebooted in + preparation for the flashing operation. + + + + + Hide Tilt Angle in ascent tab for devices that don't have a gyro. + + + + + Filter out speed and acceleration spikes caused by ejection + charge firing when computing the maximum values. This + provides a more accurate reading of those maximums. + + + + + Fix EasyMini voltage displays. Early EasyMini prototypes + used a 3.0V regulator, and AltosUI still used that value as + the basis of the computation. Production EasyMini boards + have always shipped with a 3.3V regulator. Also, purple + EasyMini boards sensed the battery voltage past the blocking + diode, resulting in a drop of about 150mV from the true + battery voltage. Compensate for that when displaying the + value. + + + + + Display error message when trying to configure maximum + flight log size while the flight computer still has flight + data stored. + + + + + Handle TeleMetrum and TeleMini eeprom files generated with + pre-1.0 firmware. Those ancient versions didn't report the + log format, so just use the product name instead. + + + + + + TeleGPS Application + + + + New application designed for use with TeleGPS boards. + + + + + Shares code with AltosUI, mostly just trimmed down to focus + on TeleGPS-related functions. + + + + + + Documentation changes + + + + Re-create the drill template images; they should print + correctly from Firefox at least. Ship these as individual + PDF files so they're easy to print. + + + + + Add a description of the 'Apogee Lockout' setting, which + prevents the apogee charge from firing for a configurable + amount of time after boost. + + + + +
