A new software update is available for the Climb_and_Dive Timer.  I just released v1.4 of the program code.  The  instructions have been revised to incorporate the latest developments, notably https://circuitflyer.com/Climb_and_Dive/docs/Advanced%20Modifications.html  Please have a look through them.

The Software page of the instructions https://circuitflyer.com/Climb_and_Dive/docs/Software.html has all the details of how to download the new code and update your timer.  It’s just a simple drag and drop.  This update is a little different as I added a new library file so you will need to drag and drop both the code.py and the whole lib folder onto your CIRCUITPY drive.  Remember to "Replace all" when asked, don't merge or keep both.

The most notable change is the ability to wire up an optional super bright NeoPixel LED.  The LED can be mounted through a 5mm hole in the side of full fuse airplanes.  It should be bright enough (except for the blue colour) to be seen from 60' away on a sunny day.  This is sort of an advanced feature and is only recommended if you are confident with your electronics skills.

Other new items:
- improved nose over protection.
- increase in the throttle setting for the start-up blip.  This was required or Castle Creations ESC's.
- decrease in the length of the start-up blip.  Reduced from the previous 1.5 seconds to just a quick 0.5 second pulse.
- For those that are comfortable personalising the code I moved a few variables up near the top for easier access.

Give this new version a try and let me know what you think.
