Will my UPAS log files change substantially if I update to the new firmware (rev200)? Nope! The log file format will remain the same. Read any UPAS log file into R using our astr package. Install astr v2.3.0, which we just released along with firmware rev200: www.github.com/accsensors/a...

What’s new in the new UPAS firmware? The UPAS now gets UTC time from the mobile device used to program the sample. No more going outside to get a GPS signal if your UPAS loses track of the time (in most cases, at least)! Read our latest blog post to learn more: www.accsensors.com/blog/new-fir...
