Eggtimer Rocketry has just published new versions of the firmware for the Eggtimer Quantum and Eggtimer Proton WiFi-enabled altimeters. Highlights include:
o Custom SSID - You can now create your own custom SSID, from 8-14 characters. Supported characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and the underscore. This is very handy for multiple Quantums/Protons in your rocket, as in two-stagers or redundant altimeters.
o I'm Ready Tone - We've changed the "I'm ready" tone so that it's the same unmistakable "chirp" as other Eggtimer altimeters. That makes it easier to pick out on a crowded launch rack.
o Support for the Eggtimer Telemetry Module - Telmetry on the serial port has been expanded to support the upcoming Eggtimer Telemetry Module, which will transmit real-time flight status data from your rocket to an Eggfinder LCD receiver. More on that "soon"...
o Bug fixes - a few bugs here and there have been fixed, most notably one that mis-displayed altitudes in the downloaded pages over 32,767'.
You can download the firmware (and the instructions for applying it, if you've never done it before) from the Eggtimer Rocketry support page, EggtimerRocketry.com/home/support
As usual, thanks for your continued support!
