Telecommand Feature List

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.
