Software updates
We have released new software for Kitsat – the final one before a totally new one working with multiple platforms (also Mac).

Hello, everyone! 👋

We have some exciting news for Kitsat users. Our team has been hard at work making some updates to the software that we think you'll love.

Firstly, this version supports Kitsats V1.0 to V1.4. If you're using any of these versions, you're good to go! However, please note that a firmware update for Kitsat is required. You can find details about the update at https://staging.kitsat.fi/update.

After this release, our team will start rewriting the Groundstation program in .NET MAUI with cross-platform support. This means that the software will work seamlessly across different operating systems.

Now, let's talk about some of the changes we've made in this version. We've fixed various bugs related to the GPS user interface, as well as the payload v1.3 inertial measurement unit readings. We've also improved the image streaming over USB with a higher baud rate. Additionally, we've fixed some bugs in the overpass simulator that were triggered by altered parameters, and we've removed some deprecated terminal commands from the terminal command list.

But that's not all - we've also added flight script support, updated deprecated links, implemented missing terminal commands, and made various miscellaneous UI bug fixes.

We hope that these updates will make your experience with Kitsat Groundstation even better. As always, please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or feedback.

Thank you for using Kitsat, and happy flying!
