Oops. I won't be there tonight. I've been working on fixing the I2c driver so that it does a restart rather than a stop/start between writing a command and reading a register. This may (or may not) fix the problem reading the RTC, but it is wrong in any case and needs fixing both for PacSat and for Golf. 73, Burns Fisher, WB1FJ *AMSAT(R) Engineering -- Flight Software* On Thu, Aug 24, 2023 at 2:04 PM Bill via pacsat-dev <pacsat-dev(a)amsat.org> wrote: > Pacsat dev mtg 8/24/2023 > Thu, Aug 24, 2023 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (CDT) > > Please join my meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone. > > https://meet.goto.com/942587421 > > You can also dial in using your phone. > (For supported devices, tap a one-touch number below to join instantly.) > > United States: +1 (646) 749-3122 > - One-touch: tel:+16467493122,,942587421# > > Access Code: 942-587-421 > > Join from a video-conferencing room or system. > Dial in or type: 67.217.95.2 or inroomlink.goto.com > Meeting ID: 942 587 421 > Or dial directly: 942587421(a)67.217.95.2 or 67.217.95.2##942587421 > > > Get the app now and be ready when your first meeting starts: > https://meet.goto.com/install > > > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > pacsat-dev mailing list -- pacsat-dev(a)amsat.org > View archives of this mailing list at > https://mailman.amsat.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected] > To unsubscribe send an email to pacsat-dev-leave(a)amsat.org > Manage all of your AMSAT-NA mailing list preferences at > https://mailman.amsat.org >

Version 0.1g

I merged my latest development branch with main. This includes the draft RTC code. Burns is now working on the driver to see if we can get it to work correctly. My draft code works but is not optimal. This version also includes maintenance functions that expire old files and old uploads. The uploads use a new table in MRAM so you will need to issue "clear mram" after flashing this. You can test the new table with "test upload table". Files are purged after 5 days, partial uploads are purged 3 days after the latest packet received. These are in a #define but in the future will need to be commendable from the ground. 73 Chris -- Chris E. Thompson chrisethompson(a)gmail.com g0kla(a)arrl.net

I'll give the spec sheet a look over before tomorrow night's meeting. 73, Jim McCullers Looks like this part would work for us. If we set it up to work at a lower voltage we can limit power output and DC power needed. Bob
