August 1st, 2024 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7

Model Switcher V8

• The latest iteration of the "Model Switcher" brings quite a handful refinements that have drastically increased the reliability and end user experience when managing your driving models. For starters, it's been renamed to "Model Management" and I've added failsafes and error catching that are displayed to you when attempting to download a model so you're not left in the dark wondering why it's stuck on "Downloading model..." for 30 seconds. On top of that, I've added quality of life features such as each model having their own calibration profiles, an option to ensure your models are always up to date if comma releases new versions of their existing models or adds new models, and a "Model Randomizer" that randomly selects a model each drive and if the drive was over 15 minutes, it brings up a prompt where you can rate the model and eventually find what model works best for you! Oh, and the "Radical Turtle" and "SecretGoodOpenpilot" models are now non-staging exclusive models!

Screen Recorder V2

• Ever wonder what the heck that weird red dot on your screen was? Well, it was a screen recorder that, well, records your screen. But it's been completely redesigned so you no longer have to wonder! On top of that, you'll find the recordings themselves are higher quality in terms of both frame rate and bitrate and it tanks your FPS a bit less (a 30% improvement!). The file names are now in a much easier to read format as well (July_27_2024-01:14PM.mp4 for example).

July 1st, 2024 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7

Conditional Experimental Mode Refinements

• A few weeks ago I pushed out an update patch with some refinements to the "stop light detection logic" for "Conditional Experimental Mode" and this update improves upon it even more! Not only did I manage to cut the entire code length in half, but "Experimental Mode" triggers for stop signs and stop lights MUCH sooner! They can now be detected up to 656 feet (200meters) from 394 feet(120 meters) when driving at 50mph (80kph)! This also comes with MAJOR improvements to the lead detection when deciding if it's stopping for the red light, so I've removed the respective toggle since I'm 100% confident the new logic will catch every time your lead is going to run the red light or not. The "Green Light Alert" is also vastly improved in reliability! Along with this new logic, I also added the option to "force" openpilot to a complete stop when driving at low speeds when a stop sign is detected (Controls -> Quality of Life -> Force Standstill State) to help prevent "California Stops". Let me know how well this new logic works for you in the #conditional-experimental-mode channel!

Longitudinal Tuning (Cont.)

• With comma's new "Longitudinal Controller" (that is included in this update), I fine tuned some of my own longitudinal changes to ensure every nook and cranny is refined and as "human-like" as possible. So now the "Sport" acceleration profile is sportier, the "Eco" acceleration profile is more economical, their respective deceleration profiles are more liner and tend to "coast" more, the "Increase Acceleration Behind Lead" function now uses the lead's acceleration rate for a more natural takeoff, and the acceleration rate is reduced when the desired speed is low to prevent high acceleration through residential areas!

Other Enhancements

• Added a toggle for a "Stopped Timer" to "Visuals -> Quality of Life"
• Added a toggle to control the current state of "Always On Lateral" via the LKAS button
