Message Enable
The Rover has several message types that can be enabled for GPS and event messages. At factory
defaults, the Rover will send compressed binary GPS (not human readable) and plain text event
(surface and battery) messages. These message formats can be changed using the $msgenable
command.
The Rover has the following message types available for use:
Message Number
Message Type
0
1
10
At factory defaults, the following message types are enabled for each mode:
Timer Mode
Message Types
0
10
1
10
2
10
3
10
4
10
Sending $msgenable with no follow-up values will return the currently used formats in ASCII:
The $msgenable must be applied to each timer. The message format must be as follows:
$msgenable
(timer)
(message types separated by commas)
To enable GPS plain text short (Type 0), GPS Text Long (Type 1) and GPS Binary Compressed (Type
10), on Timer 0 (Normal mode) you would send the following command:
$msgenable
0
0,1,10
Any number of message types can be enabled for each timer, but for each additional message
type the Rover will use additional Iridium data.
