Fwd: TeleBT Bluetooth Data Packet Documentation Needed

by Bud Woodling

I'm writing my own Android app for TeleBT that would be optimized for a small screen format, and I'm looking for documentation on the TeleBT Data Packets. In particular I need to know what data strings are sent from AltosDroid (or any app) to the TeleBT module. I'm able to read and process the data packets that TeleBT sends out over BT, but I haven't seen any documentation on communication in the other direction. I've noticed that TeleBT forgets it's 70cm frequency setting when it gets powered down, and I need to be able to tell it which frequency to use. Other uplink command documentation could be useful as well. Thanks, Art

MicroPeak will be approved for NAR Contests starting April 1

by Keith Packard

The NAR Contest Board has approved MicroPeak for use in contests requiring a barometric altimeter starting on the 1st of April, 2014. You can read the announcement message on the contestRoc Yahoo message board here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/contestRoc/conversations/messages/33872 The message was sent out on the 30th of January, but there is a 90 day waiting period after the announcement has been made before you can use MicroPeak in a contest, so the first date approved for contest flights is April 1. After that date, you should see MicroPeak appear in Appendix G of the pink book (http://www.nar.org/pinkbook/G_altimeters.html), which lists the altimeters approved for contest use Thanks much to the NAR contest board and all of the fliers who helped get MicroPeak ready for this! -keith

APRS

by Sam Fineberg

At one point I saw something about the TeleMega supporting APRS. Is that correct? Do you need special firmware? Sam
