Hi Bdale or Keith, I managed to build a companion board for my telemetrum based off the documentation posted here:
http://altusmetrum.org/AltOS/doc/companion.html I've confirmed with a logic analyzer it's actually doing the setup dance and fetching data from my arduino board (I was actually pretty stoked to get this far). However, the companion telemetry does not show up in the AltoOS UI. I'm running 1.4.1 on my telemetrum, but the latest AltOS. I took a look at the source and it appears that companion support has been commented out (see line 72 of altoslib/AltosTelemetryStandard.java). Looking at the release notes for 1.5 it says "Add lower telemetry data rates (2400 and 9600 bps) to increase telemetry radio range. This *reduces the amount of data received* as well as increasing battery consumption in the transmitter." Is this the reason it was removed? Is there any harm in adding it back? If I upgrade my telemetrum do I also loose companion support at the device level? Thanks. Best regards, Rob
