This is a configurator for beacons of the previous generation only (Blue, Green. Amber. Black)

  • Retranslator mode. This is an aerial search mode using a second beacon (of any model).
  • The beacon as a "buzzer" for the flight controller.
  • Support for CTCSS subtones for transmission and as an activation tone.
  • Tone signal for the Proximity mode (in a response, the beacon reports the signal level by a sound pitch).
  • Reworked the GPS track storage in EEPROM.
  • tBeacon Indigo support.
  • Small bugfixes.

This firmware version is the last one for ATMega based beacons (Blue, Green, Amber. Black, Indigo). Only bugfixes are possible.

 

NOTE: In rare occasions 0.59 firmware can incorrectly reade EEPROM data, that were saved by the previous version (0.58). This is observed as a "hang up" after initial hello tone. This is corrected by a forced reset to default settings.
