7.8.60

This section presents the changes between the previous software version v.7.8.20 and the current v.7.8.60.

Added:

  • Option to force the track reset when the active guidance block changes to one of the same type (example from cruise to cruise). This reset was already being done when changing between different guidances (example from landing to cruise)
  • Blocks to cast from uint16 to bool and vice versa
  • Blocks to convert a bitmask to a uint16 and vice versa
  • Blocks to convert from yaw, pitch and roll rates into body angular rates (P, Q, R) and vice versa
  • OAT (Outside Air Temperature) sensor block to compute the real outside density and use it in TAS (True Airspeed) calculation
  • RTCM related rate configuration in GNSS block are disabled when rtcm3 port is not selected
  • Extra checks on "STANAG type" field to prevent using reserved IDs
  • Additional fields for STANAG Subsystem Configuration options: "subsystem type", "alert type" and "alert message"
  • Custom Message Producer can copy to another Custom Message Producer
  • Bit variables 850 and 851 to write/read GPIOs A and B respectively
  • I/O setup byte producers for U-blox 0 and U-blox 1 to publix UBX packets coming directly from GNSS modules
  • Warning when max block nesting is reached
  • Supports the new “flyby” feature

Changed:

  • Number of STANAG subsystem entries is variable instead of fixed
  • Increased maximum satellites in GNSS block configuration
  • "Deceleration" field name to "Waypoint reach deceleration"
  • GPIO names in Digital Input panel
  • Default payload size for tunnel when using RTK
  • Enable all tabs for all GNSS sensor presets
  • "Change mode" button no longer pressable with Enter key
  • Qdem configuration in "Navigation" block allows setting values freely instead of using presets
  • Wizard presets set rates of RTCM3 messages in GNSS blocks to 1hz
  • Ublox check in SPI in and out are always active
  • Minimum and maximum values for operation variables changed to select user variables instead of other operation vars
  • Changed names of CAN custom messages for clarity by adding "TX" and "RX" for producers and consumers, respectively
  • Variable "C2 Memory allocation" moved from ID 139 to 145
  • Rename 4th variable from "Writing Telemtry" to "Writing On-board Logs" as it's more appropiate
  • Changed back minimum and maximum values for operation variables use user variables

Removed:

  • Unused items in Connections section
  • Redundant label in notch/low pass filters in Internal Sensor blocks for Core 1
  • CAN-FD A configuration for devices in version 4.8 and below
  • Hardware version 4.0 and 4.5 from 1x PDI Builder

Fixed:

  • Login fail when no internet connection is available (offline login)
  • Fly-by option for guidance blocks causes errors in PDIF on save
  • Custom points are not removed when migrating a configuration from 7.6 to 7.8
  • Incorrect behaviour when setting values in non-SI units
  • Some necessary device variables not received for automatic magnetic field strength calculation
  • "Deceleration" field in Cruise block is disabled when "Set speed" is unchecked
  • Rotation matrix not configurable for external accelerometer and gyroscope sensors
  • Text not wrapping in warning in advanced settings section for GNSS block
  • Internal name displayed in window name for Internal sensor block configurations
  • Cyphal CAN producers and consumers appear as selectable in CAN IO configuration
  • GPIO ids in Digital Input panel for hardware 4.12
  • Migration of renamed and deleted variables
  • "Read Mission Point List" block does not save selection
  • Tunnel variables units (from Hz to pkts/s)
  • GNSS wizard params
  • GNSS wizard in block library
  • Real64 variables not added in custom messages
  • Libraries allow command subscriptions. Commands like PID static and others no longer allow this feature in this context
  • Wrong variable types selectable for "Variable" fields in CAN RX External sensors
  • Multi-selection not functioning in switch blocks
  • "Real" variables' units changed to "Custom unit" irreversibly when custom name is set
  • "Stanag Message" event shows selection menu at the top
  • "Total Energy Control" block V_STALL can't be unchecked (visual error)
  • No cloud configurations are shown when one of them has faulty information. Filter out faulty ones and show available
  • Wrong case name in "Variable search" section of block configuration when some cases are empty
  • "Maximum samples non-variation" fields don't have a value range. Values must be between 0 and 65535
  • Some panels allow setting the "Minimum" field to a higher value than the "Maximum" field: PWM configuration, RPM sensors, Transmitter PPM, Transmitter output and Safety checklist "In Range Check" table
  • Real 64 set and get blocks not visible
  • Can't drag pins in multi-case blocks (If-else, Phase switch, etc.)
  • Range for Skip field. It can be configured from 1 to 2048 bits
  • RTK Wizard RTCM frequencies and I/O connections for Compass and Compass+ RTK presets
  • Unreadable variable of Block Command automation action
  • "Ethernet" panel is available for 1x 4.8 and below. Menu option removed for those version
