FIRMWARE RELEASE CHANGELOG 

Firmware version 

Description of modification / changes 

0.2.2.0 

True North offset is set to 385ºat startup and until the 
Geovane measures for the first time.  

Fixed problem which made tilt measurement wrong 
under some particular conditions. 

0.2.3.0 

ORN message now features a hardware status byte 
(see section 7.1.1). 

True North offset is set to 385º at startup and until 
the Geovane gest GPS signal. 

True North offset is set to 370º after the Geovane 
gets GPS signal and until it measures for the first 
time. 

0.2.3.3 

Fixed problem where certain geographical longitudes 
where considered not valid. 

0.2.3.4 

True North offset is set to 380º at startup and until 
the Geovane gest GPS signal to prevent the analog 
output stages from reaching saturation. 

0.2.3.5 

Fixed bug where the carriage return of the ORN 
message had a different value than 

<

CR

>

 

Added ORX message (see sections 7.1.2 and 7.2.7). 

To know what firmware version your Geovanes have you can poll them with the 
PMGV05 command to get the INF message (refer to sections 7.2.5 and 7.1.5) or 
contact Kintech Engineering on 

[email protected]

 (factory settings).
