I’ve just released a major version for the logger firmware (version 1.3) and BLM (version 2.2). This firmware introduces several new functions:
\n– The logger records variometer information
\n– The logger has a new “Navigation” screen which shows ground speed, heading and variometer.
\n– A new user.cfg configuration file allows user specific configuration which doesn’t affect event configuration.
\n– Declarations can now also be in 5\/4 format. This format must be activated by configuration.
\n– Improved GPS detection and support for latest Flytec hardware
\n– Support for Bluetooth (Only available for private owned loggers with Bluetooth modules).
\n– Shows SBAS\/WAAS status and records the status to the IGC file
\n– Improved precision of stored GPS position<\/p>\n
Important<\/em>: This new firmware changes the IGC file format. The new format is currently supported by eKLIPS, Boxy, BScoring. I don’t know about the other software. Check a recorded track before the first competition flight and update scoring software or downgrade logger if needed. I will keep the 1.2.x firmware online.<\/p>\n Also the SignatureLib was updated, because the signature key of the IGC files are changed to improve security.<\/p>\n You can download BLM<\/a> and Firmware<\/a> from the corresponding pages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve just released a major version for the logger firmware (version 1.3) and BLM (version 2.2).
