Default Odyssey 1.0.0.0 released

Odyssey owners:
Odyssey is now officially out of beta, please download the 1.0.0.0 bin file from our website www.MGLAvionics.co.za and upgrade your EFIS.

Copy the downloaded Odyssey.bin file to your SD card, insert and switch on. The rest is automatic and takes from about 20 seconds to 1.5 minutes depending on the version you are running at the moment.

Please note that this update may result in your screen going dark for a few seconds during the upgrade - this is expected, don't panic, let it continue - it will come back after a few moments.

Note, if you have not allready upgraded to this with a previous beta update, this version uses the new, single file Navidata system.

Do you not have any locking mechanism on all those ribbon cables inside? I'm looking at the prototype picture:

That's what prototypes look like (and early prototypes are much worse with wires all over the place - ask any electronics designer, we pride ourselves by making arty "rats nests" of wires and stuff, keeps us creative).

But seriously, most of these cabes are not ribbon cables - they are FFC cables and each connector has a positive pressure locking mechanism.
