I've uploaded a new OpenTracker firmware image for testing. This version adds support for standard APRS format telemetry messages - in this testing version, there's no configuration option for it, it just sends a telemetry packet afer every position packet. T#MIC156,217,000,006,000,00000010 The first value is temperature - multiply by 1.9608 for reading in kelvins. Second reading is battery voltage, multiply by 17 for volts. Third is the ADC2 input, 0-255 for inputs from 0 to 5 volts. Of course, you can disconnect the on-board sensors and use ADC0 and ADC1 for anything. The fourth is the counter input, or at least its lower 8 bits. The rightmost bits in the digital field represent the jumper input and the configuration profile in use. If you'd like to test out the new version, you can download it by clicking the 'web' button in the configuration program and selecting the telemetry beta option. I'd like to get some feedback on it before I make it the standard release. I also need to decide how it's going to be enabled in the configuration - I might tie it to the periodic status packet option so you can send telemetry less frequently than position packets.
