Down these mean skies, a kat must fly!
And nearby device scanning is enabled... ugh.
Got it working on the S7's. Turning on Location is a requirement apparently for the Flightsketch App to find the altimeter. Doesn't have that requirement on the other tablets, etc. But that is the one item that makes the altimeter "findable" versus, not findable in the app.Bluetooth LE is automatic on the S7. In addition to enabling the permissions, I also enabled the phones location (GPS) functionality.
Working with the Android tablet was kind of frustrating—or maybe it was just because it was different than what I'm used to (currently iOS 13). In particular the auto-correct when editing information for the log and also editing file names made some bizarre choices that I didn't catch at the field. Even though it was overcast, the screen was not as easy to see as I'd like. I also seemed to have some hit-and-miss with respect to saving files locally - both scrambled names (it's easy to hit "return" on the "keyboard" when I meant to just delete a character) and missing files altogether. No idea why that happened yet.
See page 4 here: https://flightsketch.com/media/FSMiniGuide2.pdfWe launched our new FlightSketch Mini twice yesterday and it seemed to work fine. But we couldn't figure out how to upload the data from the phone. Tried both iOS and Android apps, same thing...
Where do you log in on the app to tell it what account to load the data to?
See post 13 for what I've been using.
Yes. These little pouches were made by my wife originally for PerfectFlite FireFly altimeters, which are a little wider than the FS Mini and essentially the same length. They are made out of scraps of fleece from other sewing projects.
When used in models like an Alpha or a modelrockets.us Nexus they eventually get the soft part cooked off, but even then they are still somewhat protective of the altimeter.
One that's a bit oversize, like the one in those pictures, is also good for sticking one of these gadgets in BT-50-sized payload sections and preventing the unit from rattling around in there.
price has been bumped to $40
Just wondering if you would share any numbers on the cost of developing and mfg of device? (Probably prying too much, ignore?)
