resulting PCB
I added a TMP 36 probe in the process to have the on-board (capsule) temperature, as opposed to the BMP 180 giving the OAT (Outside […]

Fixed GPS value encoding for telemetry transmission
I had stupidly assumed the values from the GPS were decimal while they really are DDmm.
First console & frame decoding
Wrote the decoding of the frame on the server side today (note: the Iridium gateway call an URL on my server everytime a message is […]
Message encoding
Wrote the encoding of the frame on the MCU side today.
First battery-powered test, GPS delay acquisition
The first battery-powered test was successful, in the sense that the board was working. However, I was surprised to see that the GPS was unable […]
First successful satellite transmission
The first satellite transmission was successful (and lesson full). The message “toto” was sent from the modem to the web site using the satellite gateway. […]
SD card logging working
I’m using SdFat (very simple, works very well). I’ve in SdFatConfig, that is using native Teensy SPI library since I think it’ll perform better than […]
BMP 180 pressure and temperature sensor
Got a BMP 180 in the mail today. It’s 3.3 volts only (simpler card than my previous Adafruit breakout), so I power it from the […]
First smooth working of both UARTs simultaneously and external power circuit
I got the modem + GPS + USB logging working smoothly. I’m stepping away from ChibiOs for now, because I can get something working well […]
Power level sensor
The stuff is supposed to be powered by a 9V battery, and I’m gonna use an ADC port on the Teensy to sense the available […]
