BADASS flight code

badass's Issues

CCSDS Checksum Support

CCSDS command headers have a checksum field for use in validating the command message. The current implementation contains the functions to calculate the checksum, but do not utilize it nor check it.

Add support for this (as transparent to user as possible).

BADASS Packet Times

BADASS currently fills the time field of telemetry headers with the time since startup (ie, millis()). Add a command to set the current time and keep time using millis after that initalization.

Segmented Packet Support

Xbee's limit the maximum packet size to 100(?) bytes. Having the capability to send longer packets would be very useful (lots of telemetry, sending down files). CCSDS packets can be used in this way using the segmentation field and sequence counter.

Need to implement into current library, preferably in a way that's transparent to the user (ie, if user passes an array of data to send longer than 100 bytes, automatically break it into multiple packets).

Assigning Serial to Variable causes issues

Link code alias's the Serial objects so that people don't screw up and write to the wrong one, however, code doesn't work like this. As an example,

HardwareSerial debug_serial = Serial;
debug_serial.begin(250000);
debug_serial.println("Help me");

does not produce output. Code appears to work if the alias's are removed.
