A big thank you to all those of you who have purchased a Climb_and_Dive timer.
The latest software version is v1.2. Please be sure to follow the instructions to update your timer to the latest release. Note: You only need to update the (1) single file called code.py by dragging and dropping the new code.py file available from the most recent download onto the CIRCUITPY drive that pops up when you plug the timer into your computer. Be sure to click ‘replace’ when asked.
https://circuitflyer.com/Climb_and_Dive/docs/Software.htmlI have had some excellent feedback from a few users. Thank you to those fellows for acting as my beta testers. In this latest release I improved a few things and added some new features:
- Increase the amount of overall boost/brake available
- New procedure to allow the timer to be mounted in any orientation
- Added the option to add a few seconds of normal RPM after the burst of high RPM at the end of the flight
- Added some debounce to the optional push button switch
Remember that since this is an ongoing project the onus is on the user to occasionally check the instructions to make sure you are using the latest code version available.
For those interested in purchasing a timer all of the details can be found here:
https://circuitflyer.com/Climb_and_Dive/One of the things I’m still actively working on is the possibility of adding some nose-up boost to help reduce any delay in the increase in RPM when entering a maneuver. If you have any suggestions for improvements or new features please let me know. Your feedback is always welcome.
