Software and Hardware Changelog

Below is a change log for hardware and software. At the top is the CVG change log, while below that is the change log for the ground station receiver. It is recommended to maintain the most current software version, as the software is always improving, even for older hardware revisions. These improvements result in increased noise rejection, faster locking, more OSD features, and of course, less bugs.

CVG Software Feature Requests:

• CV signal indicator (not RSSI)
• MAC firmware updater
• Matrix to select band/channel
• Quicker band selection
• “Hot-mode” to keep fan noise down and increase power efficiency
• Temperature Display in status screen -> not possible
• Add custom frequency from Band Analyzer -> done
• Flight Crosshair -> done
• Fan MAX speed option for field test of fan when it’s cold -> done

CVG Hardware Requests:

• Joystick or other navigation method
• USB built in (FTDI on board)
• 1.3GHz and 2.4GHz CVG
