Yes, in the device manager you select the channel used by the tracker, and then select which tracker to connect with the ground station in the ground station edit box. A feature I have requested to be added is to be able to select the tracker from within the tracker screen. If you click the tracker name at the top it will bring up a pop-up list of trackers that you can connect to.The only place i was able to select a channel was in the device manager. No channel selection in the base. Only the transmitter. Maybe im used to selecting the base and the transmitter on the old App (and yes im using the Android version vs the old Iphone) but i wasnt able to get the channel list tabon the tracking screen to work.
Hopefully something can be done... it was really not much fun watching the arrow flip around all over the place. Lol. Made getting a directional lock difficult. And again yes android.
I'll see what we can do. My own Android testing was noticeably worse than on an iPhone, but wasn't as bad as you're describing. Maybe some Android compass sensors are better than others. Be sure to be away from magnets when using the compass.
Yes. The old set up if i was within 10 to 15 feet was pretty realistic with enough satilites. This one when i was 10 ft away was like telling me 50ft away.
Does the distance countdown as you get closer like the previous app? Even if its the last known good coordinates?
Yes. I'll do some more comparison testing myself today.
I learned to use this feature from when I was operating spacecraft in my day job. There was a different font used for fresh vs. stale telemetry in the tools we were using.I found this to be a very useful feature
Thanks for the endorsement!Like yourself im an Altitude junkie. Most stuff is minimum diameter lots of motor.
The Featherweight tracker in past has become such a benchmark that many of us Altitude flyers live by it. Considering the majority of the flight isnt visible, so our method of knowing whats going on has been the the featherweight tracker. starting with an established start point of the launch. The vocal call out of altitude going up. The declaration of Apogee vocally. The vocal call out of decent speed and altitude so you know if you had separation and things are good or not. The vocal call out as the main deploys and the speed drops from 100fps to 18fps now you know you're under main. Couple that with the arrow pointing you in the direction while under boost. The arrow pointing While under drouge and main. Being able to line up arrow and the azimuth bubble to get horizon and direction to possibly get a visual under decent. The screen showing altitude and distance as it goes up and comes down so you have an idea in ft how far away it landed. Then the screen change when it lands so you know that its most likely down and lost direct link. Then using the arrow and watching the distance count smaller and smaller (this works great even when driving) taking you right up to the rocket. After coming down from 35k ft. not to even mention actual data from the tracker thats recognized by TRA. Not to mention lost rocket feature. Or how long the battery life is.
This is the standard you have already established Adrian. big shoes to fill. Lots of Excellence! Hopefully all of this will be able to translate over to the new system on both platforms as its what makes the tracker so great.
Thank you for all you do.
