8. Release
1.27 remarks:
After 14 months of LCD-Dispaly development plus another 15
months designing new hard- and software we take a lot of pride
in our new CoMo AV, as it sets completely new standards in some
domains.
- extremely sensitive variometer (definite measurement of
climbing rates from 5 cm/sec on).
- fabulous 700 h of battery life (without GPS)
- even with GPS the instrument endures an operation
time of 140 h.
- operation is nearly fool-proof with the solid Rotary-Button
- "FOCUS Energy" award for excellence in industrial design
There are still some limitations in release 1.27:
- analog variometer can only display values up to +/- 10 m/sec.
- vario and altimeter indication only in meters
- no temperature indication when easy-GPS-Module is employed
- no "zero-click" acoustic when altitude level remains
the same over a longer period of time
- no support for altitude "Zero|QNH"
- no support for airspeed-sensors
Next steps in software development:
Navigation: - distance to waypoint
- bearing to waypoint
- glide ratio to waypoint
Release 2.0 is scheduled for 2008
the following products are in the design stage:
- solar- and solarGPS-Module
- G-Meter (G-Force measurement for Acro-Pilots)
- PWC-Contest version
