Several of you have asked when TeleMega will be back in stock, so here's
a quick update. A new run of TeleMega is in process, but due to a
mistake on my part, they're running a couple weeks behind original
schedule. I still expect to have TeleMega back in stock in plenty of
time to ship for Christmas.
Meanwhile, we had an unexpected "run" on EasyMini that used up the rest
of our existing stock. We're working on a new production run of those,
but don't have a firm completion date yet.
If you need something quickly, please feel free to check with our
distributors who may have stock on things we're out of. A list is
available on the altusmetrum.org home page.

Hi everyone,
One thing I like on the Telemetrum is the ability to start it in Idle
mode, and put it into "Pad" mode remotely once on the pad. A great way to
avoid fiddling with switches and wires while on the pad.
I understand that once the unit is in Pad mode, it becomes pretty much
fully autonomous and won't take commands anymore, which I assume is a good
security feature. That said, there can be situations where it would be
useful to revert back to a "safe" or "idle" mode in case launch is aborted.
Is there any way this can be done on the Telemetrum? I overall level of
experience is not great, so there might be very good reasons _not_ to do
this, or to do it in a different way, which I would be interested to hear
about!
Thoughts?
Ed
Hello,
I noticed that the Telemega 3.0 is now up on git with a new IMU that
allowed dropping of the magnetometer chip. Will you also be changing up the
MMA6555 with this new version? They seem to have been marked obsolete and
are not available at the usual suppliers.
Keep up the great work!
Doug
