wow, thanks - that's an amazingly clear write up of the problem. Very
professional! Looking forward to getting a board!

Hi all,
I have two windows laptops, on the older one, I can connect directly to the
Telemetrum and to the TeleDongle with no problems. On the new laptop, I can't
get the computer to recognize that I've plugged into the Telemetrum. I switch
the Telemetrum on, allow the Telemetrum to go through

Could you give a beta version of Rev 1.2 a try and see if that helps?

Keith,
Regarding this issue, I wanted to see if a problem I had during a recent
flight could be caused by this issue. I generally use Q2G2 igniters for
ejection charges, and they have worked well in ground testing. However, I
had a flight where the TeleMetrum lost power at apogee. The drogue
deplo
Does this apply to the TeleMini as well?
Thanks,
Elaine

We haven't seen any troubles with TeleMini, but it uses exactly the same
pyro circuit. Given that the trouble appears to be with the battery,
it's quite possible that the smaller batteries usually provided with
TeleMini don't have

Right. The challenge with a problem like this is that it's subtle, and
a set of conditions have to coincide to see it at all. While TeleMini
has the same pyro circuit, it also has s

Can anyone create a step-by-step for this fix? Our launch day is very near and
we can't afford to lose our data. While we are rocket builders and can
understand "most" of what was written, we have no idea how to manually fix the
problem.

I don't have any specific ideas, but I've put a hack into the library to
try to open the device a couple of times instead of giving up the first
time. Maybe that will help?

Yep, already on our to-d
Hi,
I was hoping to get the TM into a 2.6" diam x 5" long AV bay (the Madcow
one) - however my forward and rear payloads are already pretty crowded with
linen, and I'd rather not have a dangling wire in there that could be
ripped off.
So - How much signal loss if that wire is just curved to fit t
Hey Winton, this was also my first question to the altusmetrum list, about
2 years ago. :)
Don't curve it around or dangle it outside. Just drill a hole in the
bulkhead and run it up next to the chute, then use some RTV or glue to seal
the bulkhead hole and prevent residue from getting into the ba

Thanks!
So no glue needed? I thought one needed to seal the tube against the gases?

Ah, sorry - I just noticed Casey suggesting sealing it -- thats the bit I
dont understand - the bulk head has to be removable? or is it glued to the
sled, in which case the antenna doesn't need to "separate"

I've been known to drill a hole small enough to be an "interference fit"
for the antenna wire, at which point there isn't much left to seal. But
a dab of modeling clay or RTV works fine too.

Depends a lot on how you put things together.
