1 Beep = 1
2 Beeps = 2
.....
9 Beeps = 9
10 Beeps = 0
So, if you fly to 12, 360' you will hear:
Long Pause...
Long Beep... ("I'm going to give you're the apogee reading...")
Short Pause...
1 Beep (10,000')
Short Pause
2 Beeps (2 x 1000')
Short Pause
3 Beeps (3 x 100')
Short Pause
6 Beeps (6 x 10')
Short Pause
10 Beeps (zero 1' reading)
<sequence repeats>
The beeps continue until you turn off the power, and also act as a verification that you had a
successful flight, but getting your rocket back in one piece pretty much told you that, didn't it?
In addition, the WiFi interface will start back up again, and will take you directly to the Flight
Summary page for the flight that you just completed. Note that it may take 10-15 seconds to bring
up the Flight Summary page after you connect to the Proton, because it sends out the page after it's
done beeping out the altitude, so you have to wait until it goes quiet for a few seconds. Once you the
connection, you'll get the Flight Summary page that you see below. Note that this is a "dead end"
page... you cannot go back to the normal Status Page or any other Proton page. This is because
once your flight has ended, it's assumed that you're going to take it back to your work table to open
up the AV bay and recharge the batteries, replace the deployment charges, etc.
