Stratux Europe Edition 1.6r1-eu032

[b3nn0]

This release is is marked as a pre-release for now If no major issues come up, it will turn into a final release.

This is a new major release. To install it, you need to reflash your MicroSD card.
If you don't want to lose your settings, please backup the stratux.conf file on the card, and copy it back to it after flashing. Your old settings will then be imported.

New Features

• Migrated from esp32-ogn-tracker to ogn-tracker, enabling support for newer T-Beam variants with new power management chips, including experimental support for T-Beam S3.
• Added experimental support for NMEA output via BLE. This allows connecting SkyDemon via BLE instead of Wifi.
  Note: This is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL! Use at your own risk, preferably not while navigating complex airspaces! If you find issues, please report.
• Basic Cursor-On-Target protocol output to view traffic in software supporting COT

Bug fixes

• Fixed BMP280 not being detected if configured to use alternate addressing (as found on the recent Stratux AHRS boards)
• Made serial port baud rate detection more robust, fixing issues with usb2serial based GPSes (incl. T-Beam)

Other

• Removed "Log" indicator light on GPS page as it confused users
• Switched to latest RaspberryPi OS image

Known Issues

SkyDemon sometimes reports a "Connection timed out" error while trying to pair via BLE. It is not known why that happens. Just retry a couple of times.
