I am proud to present version six of the BTOA and downloader for you to try!
There are some significant changes, least of which is an installer for Windows as well as a .app package for Mac. Unfortunately, the Linux version cannot yet flash the BTOA. Please let me know how they work for you before I post them in the OP! Thank you Adrian |

Version 6 works! I'll get the new version of F3K master going in the AM

Finally up and running!
Adrian,
Thanks very much for your patience, I braved the rain and wind for few throws today. For what it's worth, test version of F3K master would not connect, current version did fine. Very cool app! |

Anyone know why the start altitude drifted up during a 30 flying session?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Could just be atmospheric conditions changing.
If you analyze for launches it will remove the variations, re-zeroing each launch. |

There was a front passing, the Analyze feature is Money... I'm a fan

I flew a couple hours today with V6 and the test F3K Master today. Had some strangeness going on. It would read out launches in meters but say feet, at least I hope I can throw over 55 feet.... Also was reporting my 1s Lipo at 58 volts.
When I got home I checked the settings and my height unit default had gotten changed as had the battery monitor calibration and logging interval. I may have done it by mistake when looking at the settings screen on the phone but I don't think so and it was for sure not intentional. Question what's recommended for the "switch positions"? I've got mid as output launch height and on as output over bluetooth. What I'd like to do is just be able to flip the switch and get the launch height and battery volts but it seems I need the output over bluetooth option selected in one of them. Thanks, Rj |

Are you looking for phone readouts or just to listen to the beeps at different switch positions? Have not tried 6 yet, but I have mine set to beep the battery voltage & max launch height. With my poor hearing, I need to hold the nose of the fuse close to my ear to hear the beeps.

I use the switch positions for output over bluetooth and output battery voltage or sometimes launch height. All output over bluetooth does is repeat the message sent to the android. The others are to beep out the values on the BTOA itself. |

PS, your logged data will be unaffected with the exception of the voltage.

Yes, the log looked fine, except the voltage.
Understood, output over bluetooth will repeat message, that's really what I want as it has launch height and voltage and sometimes I miss it when it reads out at landing. Thanks for the help. Hopefully next weekend the weather will cooperate again like these last two days and I can get more flying in! Rj |

I see a big difference between the log of flight times kept on my mobile from the one generated by the analysis through the BTOA application. I see there's a threshold range that if i change then the length of the flight changes drastically. Has anyone determined how to go along with this landing threshold? TIA for any hint.

Use the threshold that creates the desired results as close as possible to what you believe is correct. It will never be exact since the only way it can judge the end of a flight is by the altitude.
For instance, ground skimming will trigger the end of the flight but the flight actually lasted significantly longer. In the future, we may be able to look at the g-sensor data to determine the end of flight more accurately. |

Has anyone had any problems with the new version?
