Hello all,
This has probably been posted, and answered, before - and I may have glanced at some similar threads here, on the Altus Metrum website, and Microsoft support site already - but I've had some issues concerning the Altus Metrum EasyMini. I am re-attempting to figure out dual deployment after my first attempt resulted in the loss of the rocket I got my L1 cert with and a $120 Entacore AIM altimeter (that was still chirping in the crater where my LOC Deployer laid in shambles and where a rattlesnake was waiting to greet me nearby). The EasyMini turns on and always goes into "pad" mode, and not "idle" mode so I can reconfigure it for the high altitude launch site where I launch and of course fine tuning it to my rocket and the motor I intend to use. As I understand it, AltOS was designed to work with MacOS and Windows 7 and post-Windows 8 machines have issues recognizing the device. The other thing I saw was that it could simply be the micro-USB cable - I've tried the only two micro-USBs I have lying around and still nothing happened.
Has anyone else had these issues and figured out how to get the right drivers for a Windows 10 computer and/or AltOS to recognize the EasyMini is plugged in and get it to go to idle mode, or have any other solutions?
