(e.g., PX4) have a valid fix and time reference, and the “Measured timepulse
offset” shows the difference in the time pulse in milliseconds.
4.2 Firmware Updates
The Atom UAV is equipped with two microcontrollers and thus needs two firmware
files to operate. The Atom chip firmware running the FLARM protocol has an
expiration date and needs to be updated annually.
The update process is as follows. On the navigation bar of the page, go to
“Maintenance”, “Firmware Update”. To update the Atom with a new Atom
Firmware, a .fw file is needed. To update FLARM Hub, a .bin file is needed.
4.3 Traffic Monitor
The traffic monitor displays traffic received by Atom UAV, using symbology like
TCAS. It does not issue collision warnings. Targets for all received types of signals
are shown.
The traffic monitor can be used e.g., to troubleshoot connectivity and configuration
issues. It should not be used for collision avoidance purposes. When on the ground,
aircraft with elevated privacy settings (Stealth or No Track mode enabled, Random
ID selected) will not be shown.
When using the traffic monitor, note the zoom level and vertical axis reference
(North Up or Track Up).
4.4 Support Package Download
FLARM Hub can create a zip file containing configuration and debug data. The
button to create the zip file can be found on the Tools / Support page. The zip file
is saved on the connected computer or mobile device.
Note: The package creation and download take approximately 10 minutes to
complete, during which the device will be inoperable.
4.5 Factory Reset
A factory reset can be triggered by holding the button pressed while powering up
the device (hold for at least 1s).
