Now CDC driver will be pre-installed during the install process. Since driver installation requires elevated (admin) privileges on Windows Vista/7, the software will also be installed into the Program Files folder instead of user local profile. Former did not require admin rights, but now it does not matter, so Program Files folder is preferred. HISTORY.txt file will be shown after installation.

|
|
On Windows the installation mode was changed from per-user to per-machine
|
|
(for all users) installation. It is recommended to completely uninstall
|
|
previous version before installing new one to remove per-user installed
|
|
files. Per-machine installation requires elevated (administrator) previleges
|
|
during install. But since the same rights are now required to install
|
|
optional CDC driver (virtual communication port), it was deemed acceptable.

AeroSimRC support merged into next
|
|
|
|
2012-05-26
|
|
VirtualFlybar which allows a more aggressive flight mode than rate mode
|
|
support. Also PiroCompensation added.

|
Revert some UI changes that didn't work consistently between OSX and Windows.
|

|
|
Merged the updated firmware for the PipXtreme, thanks to Brian for a lot of
|
|
work on this.
|
|
|
|
2012-05-04
|
|
Support for CC3D. This involved changes to various things such as the sensors
|
|
being split from AttitudeRaw to Accels,Gyros,Magnetometer. A single firmware
|
|
image fw_coptercontrol will run on both CC and CC3D. When compiling the
|
|
bootloader one must set the HW_REVISION to the appropriate value. 0x01 is for
|
|
CC and 0x02 is for CC3D. If the wrong bootloader is installed the firmware
|
|
will not run.

|
|
Reduction in the memory usage due to the UAVObject metadata. Now the update
|
|
periods are using a smaller data type and the various flags relating to access
|
|
controls and update modes are stored in a bitfield. The UAVObjectBrowser has
|
|
not been updated to allow these modes to be easily changed.
|
|
|
|
2012-03-31
|
|
Support for ground vehicle configuration has been added to the the GCS.
|
|
|
|
2012-02-14
|
|
New QML based system to allow more flexible UI. Upgraded stabilization
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
2012-01-02
|
|
CC FW now supports USB Virtual Com Port (VCP/CDC) in addition to the original HID interface
|
|
New ComUsbBridge module can bridge any serial port to the USB CDC port
|
|
CC FW now detects repeated faults during init and boots with default hwsettings
|
|
|
|
2012-01-02
|
|
Added new camera stabilization features: AxisLock mode and LPF.
|
|
|
|
2011-12-10
|
|
Merged a change that sorts the UAVO fields based on size. Because this changes
|
|
all of the objects, erase all existing flash files based on this.
|
|
|
|
2011-11-04
|
|
New Spektrum/JR satellite receiver driver implementation.
|
|
It now provides explicit selection of DSM2 (and DSMJ), DSMX (10bit) and
|
|
DSMX (11bit) serial protocol variations to better serve different frame
|
|
and resolution modes. The protocol name used now is DSM instead of
|
|
previously used Spektrum to make it less ambiguous when used with JR
|
|
2.4GHz radios.
|
|
|
|
2011-10-20
|
|
Inputs can be remapped to outputs to allow up to 10 channels of control. The
|
|
receiver inputs remap as follows:
|
|
Receiver 3 because output channel 7
|
|
Receiver 4 because output channel 8
|
|
Receiver 5 because output channel 9
|
|
Receiver 6 because output channel 10

|
Fix for the Mac telemetry rates and specifically how long enumeration took.
|
|
|
|
2011-10-08
|
|
Make the flash chip need to be have bad magic for a full second before erasing
|
|
settings. Should avoid random lost settings.
|
|
|
|
2011-09-12
|
|
Max rate now ONLY applies to attitude and axis lock mode. Manual rate is the
|
|
only term that limits the rate mode now (and in axis lock when you push stick
|
|
only manual rate applies). Also integrals are reset when unused.
|
|
|
|
2011-09-09
|
|
Some large updates to the input system. Now multiple receivers can be
|
|
connected at once. A wizard was added for configuring the input channels. A
|
|
specific collective pitch channel was added.
|
|
|
|
2011-09-04
|
|
Improvements to the failsafe handling code for inputs. PWM power off is now
|
|
detected properly. Powering on transmitter for Spektrum Satellite no longer
|
|
causes a glitch on servos.
|
|
|
|
2011-08-10
|
|
Added Camera Stabilization and a gui to configure this. This is a software
|
|
selectable module from the GUI. However, a restart is required to make it
|
|
active. The GUI does not currently expose the configuration for using the
|
|
transmitter to change the view angle but this is supported by the hardware.
|
|
|
|

|
|
By default a lot of diagnostic objects that were enabled by default are now
|
|
disabled in the build. This include TaskInfo (and all the FreeRTOS options
|
|
that provide that debugging information). Also MixerStatus, I2CStatus,
|
|
WatchdogStatus and RateDesired. These can be reenabled for debugging with
|
|
-DDIAGNOSTICS.
|
|
|
|
2011-08-04
|
|
Fixed packaging aesthetic issues. Also avoid runtime issues on OSX Lion by
|
|
disabling the ModelView and Notify plugins for now (sorry).
|
|
|
|
2011-07-29
|
|
Added support for PPM receivers from James W. Now all 4 interfaces (R/C
|
|
standard PWM, combined PPM (MK), Spektrum satellite, Futaba S.Bus) are
|
|
supported and configurable through the GCS hardware configuration tab.
|
|
|
|
2011-07-17
|
|
Updated module initialization from Mathieu which separates the initialization
|
|
from the task startup. Also implements a method to reclaim unused ram from
|
|
initialization and end of memory for the FreeRTOS heap.
|
|
|
|
2011-07-12
|
|
Improvements to the stabilization code. Included a LPF on the gyros to smooth
|
|
out noise in high vibration environments. Also two new modes: axis-lock and
|
|
weak leveling. Axis-lock will try and hold an axis at a fixed position and
|
|
reject any disturbances. This is like heading-hold on a heli for the tail but
|
|
can be useful for other axes. Weak leveling is rate mode with a weak
|
|
correction to self level the craft - good for easier rate mode flying.
|
|
|
|
2011-07-07
|
|
Dynamic hardware configuration from Stac. The input type is now
|
|
selected from ManualControlSettings.InputMode and the aircraft must be rebooted
|
|
after changing this. Also for CopterControl the HwSettings object must
|
|
indicate which modules are connected to which ports. PPM currently not
|
|
working.
