Helpful tips/reminders of telecommand features and usage.
Overview
- Telecommands have a main response (null-terminated string) and a response code (error code, or 0 for success).
- Telecommands can send log messages while being executed.
- By default, log messages are sent to the filesystem, the radio, downlinked, and cached in memory.
- Telecommands can be executed right away, or scheduled in the agenda for later.
- Telecommands are denoted by a unique ID (tssent) which is a 64-bit integer.
- Commands with duplicate/repeated
tssent
values will be ignored, allowing you to uplink the same telecommand multiple times without executing it multiple times.
- Send the
@resp_fname=xxxx.txt
suffix tag to store the telecommand response in a file.
- This is especially helpful for storing power data during science data collection, for example.
