Major firmware update for the Rockit flight computer.

Highlights

  • More reliable launch detection
  • Robust automatic apogee detection
  • Improved timer and recovery-servo control
  • Improved servo startup and position-3 recovery test
  • Faster post-flight altitude reporting
  • Improved SD-card logging
  • Human-readable persistent settings
  • Support for standard and complementary-coded rotary switches
  • Standalone Windows firmware updater
  • Automatic backup and restore of Rockit settings
  • Migration from older Arduino firmware to MicroPython 1.29.0
