Changing the Timers

Iridium and GPS intervals can be changed to suit the user's requirements through the use of the
$timer command:
The GPS and Iridium interval timers can be set independently of each other, but there are several
things to keep in mind. The Resilient has by default a limit of 12 GPS fixes per Iridium message
and will retain a maximum of 24 unsent fixes (all fixes are saved in internal flash memory). This
puts a practical limit on the ratio of GPS fixes to Iridium checks.
Regardless the method being used to communicate with the Resilient, timer commands are
always the same format:
Example 1
$timer
SBD
Example 2
$timer
Example 3
$timer
After combining the setup of both Example 2 and Example 3, the user would receive 1 message
every day containing 4 GPS fixes. These messages would be sent at approx. 00:00 UTC.
As with all other settings aside from watch circle centres, all timers are retained through resets
and will be employed at the next power-up.
