Beacon - PW-Sat2/PWSat2OBC GitHub Wiki

Beacon

  • Assumption: Beacon size must fit to one frame

  • Unknown&ToDo: How often do we refresh content of beacon. Problem is at the same time COMM buffer could be not empty and we cant check what is there without sending a frame. In beacon mode this buffer is cleared up what causes possible risk of data loss e.g. buffer filled with experiment`s data (refresh each 30 min)
