I'm going to work on compiling a KML/KMZ file for Featherweight flights from BALLS 2023. If you can send me your phone log (1Hz data) and/or the download from the tracker itself (10hz), then I can add the flights to the KML/KMZ file (image below includes 'basic' drone pic overlay onto GPS...

So there was an issue on iOS 16 on how one screen was laid out so I fixed that, but in testing I found that iOS 16 has quite a few new voices that you can pick from - including many that might not "play well" at a launch... Notably "GrandMa", "GrandPa", "Good News" and "Bad News".... and other...

Build 192 is available for update/install. You should have gotten a notification - unless you have notifications turned off for TestFlight (or off for all apps). Build notes are here: [User Build 192] - Added share button to GPS and TRACK screens. Currently shares Lat/Lon in simple text of...

Before getting started on some of the next requests, I have made Build 185 available as a pre-release at public link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/mSlrjwGP To install it, you must first have Test Flight on your phone and then use your phone browser to go to the above link. It is...

Here's a screen shot from a user that launched a tracker on a balloon. I'll post more info if I get permission (and hope to get phone log of flight to convert to KML) but nice to know that at 90k feet, the Featherweight still has good GPS lock and transmission back to the ground station. Note...

There has been a perplexing issue where some iPads seemed to have problems with the Featherweight Tracking app. The symptom: "The arrow is basically stuck pointing in one direction, the elevation 'bubble' is stuck near zero, and distance usually says the rocket is really far away." We now...

This is a continuation of Featherweight Tracker updates from the Build 127 thread found here: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/featherweight-tracker-update-build-127.155873/ I added a post at the end of that thread so people get a "notification of post" and then can move on to this next...

Ok, iOS Build 127…. Just released - existing users should be notified via TestFlight or the public access link is https://testflight.apple.com/join/InpJx5lw We are not going to obsolete build 103 if you want to still fly with it this weekend, but 103 expires in 6 days so build 127 will be...

First, apologies for the lack of participation lately - work has been a little busy... but that isn't the topic of this post. This is about the first rocket 'found' with the Featherweight tracker 'lost rocket relay'... Adrian has implemented the feature where a tracker would start sending...

So if you have updated to the 'build 50' of the iFIP software for the Featherweight tracker, you should know that if your device is on iOS 10 or higher, it is recording the BLE packets - all of them received by the GS. I'm working on review / share / playback capability but just wanted you to...

It was hard to put everything in the subject that is involved here: 1- TonyL flew an O motor at BALLS that he cast himself 2- In a rocket he made because it was easier than making a motor test stand 3- Using water with red food coloring as extra ballast 4- And to create a red cloud at...

This screen shot may not mean much to you yet, but it is the start of porting FIP over to Java so it is available on Windows/MAC/Linux... and the #R and #D came from the Raven via USB/Serial to Java... One of the prior complications with the Mac WINE attempt was getting the USB/Serial to work...

OK.... so I have a Mac-Mini and have some want/need/desire to investigate better MAC/Featherweight integration... My first step is to get the 'standard' BootCamp / Windows dual boot install working. I have a Windows 7 Pro CD/license dedicated to the task. I'm going to start the process myself...
