Release of version 2.1.0 of the muondetector software.
How to install:
You can compile it yourself obviously. But if you don't want to, there are some binaries for the raspberry pi (armhf 32bit processor architecture), for the latest Ubuntu (64 bit) versions and for windows (64 bit).
For windows you can download the installer executable.
For linux you can download the AppImage.
For the raspberry pi OS you can add our repository. Just add our gpg key by typing in the console:
sudo sh -c "curl https://archive.muonpi.org/muondetector.public.key | gpg --dearmor > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/muondetector.gpg"
Then add the repository:
sudo sh -c "echo deb https://archive.muonpi.org/raspbian buster main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/muondetector.list"
You can then install the desired software by first do 'sudo apt update' and then install the desired software by typing sudo apt install muondetector-daemon or sudo apt install muondetector-gui respectively.
When there is a new version available you will automatically install it when you do 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade'.
Alternatively you can install the software from debian package files (not if you want to only install the gui on windows):
Download the daemon for the raspberry pi named "muondetector-daemon-2.1.0-raspbian.deb".
You may download the GUI named "muondetector-gui-2.1.0...deb" for whatever system you want to use.
To install a ".deb" file just use sudo apt install ./[package-name].deb or on older systems sudo gdebi ./[package-name].deb.
Have fun!
Bugfixes:
- removed wrong QT connect call which resulted in a warning in log messages after daemon startup
- fixed reconnect to MQTT broker after connection was lost temporarily
- Fixed bug which prevented auto update of histograms and plots
- Rate buffer was sometimes sent with incorrect size when connecting with the GUI leading to occasional crashes
Updates:
- restructured data logging system:
- introduced log rotation and possibility to enable/disable data logging
- simplified structure of data storage path under /var/muondetector
- auto delete old data and log files
- added geo position managing system with three modes of operation:
- static: report position that was statically set (by user or as a result of a lock-in operation, see below)
- auto: report position from most recent uBlox position fix
- lock-in: fix a uBlox position only when accuracy is better than a user defined limit (for pos accuracy and pos DOP values) and make this the new static position
- added several position filters applicable to auto and lock-in modes:
- no filter: uBlox position fixes are not filtered (bad accuracy and bad precision))
- kalman: apply a kalman filter which smoothes the series of last fixes efficiently but poorly filters long term transients/drifts (poor accuracy, excellent precision)
- histogram mean (good accuracy, fair precision)
- histogram median (better accuracy, fair precision)
- histogram most probable value (mpv) (best accuracy, fair precision)
- Added NetworkDiscovery feature (experimental)
- Extended the geographic map feature with position marker (zoom level independent), semitransparent accuracy indicator and info box with current coordinates and position accuracy.
- Added daemon hardware and software info under "Parameters" tab.
- Added time as scan parameter in "Scans" tab.
- Added display of log rotation interval and event log enable flag in "Log" tab.
- Fixed bug which prevented auto update of histograms and plots.
- Optimized color schemes to give better appearance for dark themes
- changed timing input selection from radio button group to drop down menu
- Parameters: Added daemon hardware and software information
- Scans: Added time as scan parameter
- Log: Added display of log rotation interval and event log enable flag
- Map: Extensively improved the geographic map
- position marker (zoom level independent)
- semitransparent accuracy indicator
- info box with current coordinates and position accuracy
- controls of geo position mode (auto, static, lock-in), static position and lock-in limits
- Added many tooltips, accessible on hover
