TEENSYBAT V1.2 release pending (coming days)
Hi all,
We (Edwin, Adrian, Thierry and I) have been very busy since the release of the V1.1 "development" update last month and we are pleased to annouce that we are planning to release a new version this weekend (22/23 may).
We had several important goals for this release and the most prominent change is that we finally can step away from the limitation of short filenames. This was restricting and pushing us for instance towards using "HEX" filenames to code date_time. But we now have switched to TeensyDuino 1.154 and thus can use the new SDfat library which supports long filenames. This new release will therefore save all files with a full date_time stamp (YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS.wav) and to make things more organized saving will be done in folders (YYYYMMDD).
Another important change is that the replay of files is not done using pre-set playback framerates but you will be able to replay using DIRECT (speed=samplerate) and anywhere from 1/5 to
1/20 of the original samplerate. Having a mix of files with different samplerates thus will allow you to hear all of them with the same replay_speed and the TimeExpansion sound
during replay will therefore be comparable.
When selecting files for replay you will see the filename, the length of the file in milliseconds and the samplerate. And if you have recorded the file using the new V1.2 release you will also get to see the overall powerspectrum for the complete recording before playing the file. You will thus be able to find that file with an "odd" spectrum easier than before, especially if you have a lot of files recorded using AutoRecord we think this will come in handy.
When actively listening to bats or replaying a recording you can now choose from 10 different colourschemes for the waterfall graphs.
And loads more small but often important changes have been made, some visible, some not. During the past week this version has been tested (as far as the weather was cooperating) but we cant guarantee its "bugfree"
But we do hope this will be usefull for the coming "bat" season,
greetings also on behalf of Edwin, Adrian and Thierry,
Cor
