Version 0.40 Release Notes

Version 0.35 was released today which includes a new "Sharing" feature enabling users to provide a public link to share their list of batteries, models, locations and log with other users.

 

For example, to share your list of Models, click on the 'My Profile' link in the menu bar and select the 'Share Models' checkbox.  Then, in the model detail page for each model the user would like to share the 'Share' checkbox must be selected.  This allows users to control what is shared and what isn't on a more granular level.  In this example, any model not shared, will not be visible to the public.  This feature works the same way for shared batteries and shared locations.  The 'Share Log' function has no specific granularity and is an all-or-nothing selection which can be made via the 'Share Log' checkbox on the 'My Profile' page.  All shared items may shared using the 'Share URL' link found on the 'My Profile' page.

 

Additional enhancements in this version include new 'Cost', 'Initial Impedance', 'Weight' and 'Share' fields to 'Battery Add' & 'Battery Detail' pages.  Other new fields include 'Cost', 'Initial Cycles, 'Weight' and 'Share' fields on the 'Model Add' & 'Model Detail' pages.  The new weight field is also shown on all 'Battery List' pages.

New Consumption Metrics in v0.33

With flying season in full-swing (in the Northern Hemisphere anyway), MyRCLog now presents battery consumption metrics on the Flight Detail Page.  

If the mAh of the battery is properly entered in the system (on the "Battery Detail Page") and the "Flight Duration" and "mAh Added" fields are populated on the "Add Log Entry Page" then the average battery Consumption per Minute (CpM) is calculated and presented on the "Flight Detail Page" (click thumbnail on right).  

Having this information makes it very easy to compare battery consumption data between flights of differing lengths.  The CpM is also used to calculate how many minutes you could fly if you wanted to run your batteries down to the statistically-pruden 80% depletion amount.

For example, if you have a 1000mAh battery and you fly it for 2 minutes and put back 200mAh during charging, your average CpM would be 100mAh per minute which means you could fly this pack (in a similar fashion) for up to 8 minutes and still be within the maximum 80% depletion amount.

We confident you'll find this new information useful in managing the health and performance of your batteries.  Happy Logging!
