13. Telemetry

The OpenTracker USB has the ability to send telemetry information from its
onboard temperature and voltage sensors, and header CN4 provides four 0 to 20
volt analog inputs and one general-purpose digital input/output pin.
When telemetry reporting is enabled, the tracker transmits standard APRS
telemetry reports in the following format:
T#sss,aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee,76543210
The 'sss' field is a sequence number that increments with each report. Fields
'aaa' through 'eee' encode five channels of analog readings from 0 to 255, and
fields 7 through 0 are binary bits, either 0 or 1, representing digital inputs.
The 'aaa' field represents the tracker's supply voltage, and fields 'bbb' through
'eee' correspond to inputs A1 through A4 respectively. All voltages are reported
in 1/10 volt units.
Digital bit 1 reflects the state of the tracker's GPIO pin (CN4 pin 7), and bit 0
indicates the configuration profile currently in use.
