Hallo,

Die neue Firmware 1.7.5 wurde nun veröffentlicht.

Anleitung zur Installation: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19186 (Je nach aktueller Version kann es nötig sein, das Update zweimal zu starten. Der OSTC4 bzw. OSTC 5 gibt dazu nach dem Update nötigenfalls eine Meldung aus. Grund ist, dass möglicherweise auch sehr alte Teile der Firmware wie der Schriftsatz und der Bootloader aktualisiert werden.)

Wir emfehlen ein Update über die Apps OSTConf (iOS) oder HWOS Config (Android)

Manual on how to install: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19186

(Depending on your current version it may be required to start the update twice. The OSTC4 or OSTC 5 will show you a message after the update if this is required. Reason is, that this update also may update some older parts of the firmware like the font table and the bootloader).

To update, simply use one of our two apps OSTConf for iOS or HWOS Config for Android.

Folgende Änderungen und Neuerungen gibt es seit der V 1.7.0:
The following changes have been made since V 1.7.0:

[1.7.5] with RTE 3.70
NEW: Surface GF. Shows Surface GF for instantaneous ascend to the surface. Selectable in the left corner
or in the custom view "Overview")
Fix: The scrubbertime in the CCR summary view was not right aligned. This has been changed => the
line matches the layout of the other lines. In addition the scrubber display mode was not visible
after opening the scrubber menu because its drawing was depending on a function
parameter which was not set by the open function.
Fix: Bugfix missing SYS header in dive menu: The SYS header in the diving menu was missing.
Rootcause was a missing array entry which was not created while adding the new SYS tab
for custom options.
Fix: Bugfix AM/PM time: in the previous version the AM/PM time format was not shown in the
system menu and the customer Info view. To solve this problem a helper function was added
which now returns a string which considers the time format setting.
Fix: Sleep mode current was too high for old (~10 year) OSTC 4 models
NEW: Internal logfile mode (in case it is enabled via compile switch). For development use only.
Fix: Hide slow exit graph if close to surface: In the previous version the slow exit graph was
drawn even if the diver is at the surface. To avoid this the drawing is now stopped below a
depth of 30cm.
Fix: Reset timeout after Bluetooth disconnect: The counter triggering the shutdown for the
OSTC BLE Chipset was not reset after closing the Bluetooth connection. As result an
unintendet shutdown of the BLE could happen in next use. To avoid this the counter is now
reset during disconnection.
NEW: Support for 460kBaud Bluetooth in the OSTC 5 hardware

[1.7.3] with RTE 3.60
Fix: Add Missing Compass Heading to the Logbook Reader
Fix: Add Missing Scrubber State to the Logbook Reader

[1.7.2] with RTE 3.60
Fix: Update CCR summary view: In the previous version depending on the language settings the text
sometimes overlap. To avoid this the alignment has been changed from tab to right border.
In addition the scrubber timer is displayed in small font in case both timers are active.
Fix: Bugfix: Pitch compensation: The pitch was not calculated correct during calibration process.
As result the heading value is sensitive to pitch movement. The issue has been solved
by applying the correct formula for calculation.
NEW: Add a log data event to the scrubber timer at the start of the dive and every time the
timer (in minutes) is decremented. The event contains a 12 bit signed integer for the
remaining scrubber duration, and two flags for scrubber warning (0x2000, <= 30
minutes remaining) and scrubber error (0x4000, <= 0 minutes remaining).
NEW: Update Information view: OSTC5 is now displayed instead of OSTC4 in case a matching
hardware is present
NEW: Preparations for a major update of the bootloader code in future releases

[1.7.1] with RTE 3.51
NEW: Add settings that have been missing in the bluetooth API: flip display, compass declination
NEW: Improve buzzer opreation (OSTC 5): In the previous version the buzzer was operated in case
warning events. In the new version the buzzer is inactive in surface mode in order to prevent
annoying warning just because e.g. the sensors are not connected.
FIX: A factory reset of the settings could lead to a corruption of the profile view of the log entries
because the storage pointer was reset as well. This has been corrected together with the
default settings of the cviews and the OSTC5 customer name.
NEW: Added dual operation of scrubber timers: In the previous version only one scrubber timer
could be selected for operation. In the new version the activation of both timers is possible.
In that case both timers will be displayed as well. To enable this a new activation item has
been added to the scrubber menu.
NEW: New Tab for dynamic configuration: since more and more functions are added to the OSTC
the space in the menus is getting short. To avoid problems a new Tab within the SYS menu
has been added which shall focus an functions / views which are configuration dependend.
In future this menu may have dynamic content dependend on which views are active or
which sensors are connected. The Cview for compass and Timer have been moved to the
new tab in the first step
FIX: Minor modification activ gas indicator: On the main screen the active gas is visualized by a
number and a box around it.The box as well as the number started at coordinate 0
resultiong of a very close drawing of box and number. To improve this a small gap
is added between box and number and the box itself was enlarged. With the OSTC5
a problem with the pixel sync was solfed which caused the first column to not be drawn.
NEW: Improve compass calibration dialog: The previous calibration dialog showed some "magic"
numbers and a 60 second count down. The new version is trying to guide the user through
the calibration process: first rotate pitch, then roll and at last yaw angle. A step to
the next angle is taken when enough data per angle is collected (change from red to green).
To enable the yaw visualization a simple calibration is done while rotating the axis.
NEW: Support for Solid-State CO2 sensors and multiple Solid-State O2 Sensors
NEW: Key lock in buttons menu. If enabled, press the button with the blue rectangle until the button texts are displayed
NEW: The depth value in the will now be colored based on the current ascent speed. The color code matches the one of
the bar graph which was already used for visualization of the ascent speed. To keep color code consistent the
existing color selection functions have been merged to one common Gfx function (T3/T7 - bar graph and color text)
NEW: Add a 'Reverse' action to the compass heading dive menu. This allows the compass heading to be
reversed for the return leg of the dive - as a bonus the reversal will be logged, establishing at
which point in the log the dive was turned
CHG: Use "Work" for Travel gases
CHG: Language updates
NEW: Navigation in internal logbook improved
Fix: VPM code improvements, VPM table mode added: Because of the model maths, usage of float data type and
so on it may happen that the TTS decreases during ascent and continues calculation of the vpm.
To keep the values stable the vpm table mode has been introduces. Instead of continuously calculation of
the stops the stop time is decreased if the diver is close to a deco stop. If the table is violated (e.g. by
not doing gas change) the table will be updated to the new, longer runtime. The table will not be
switch back to a shorter version in case e.g. the missed gas change is performed
NEW: Support for OSTC 5 hardware added
