[20:06:11] NASSP Logging has been started by n7275
[20:06:13] <n7275> indy91, you had some kind of revelation or insight into V74 downlinks the other day right?
[20:10:01] <indy91> sort of. The way our telemetry clients check on synchronization has to be changed, then it should work
[20:10:24] <indy91> right now it just checks every 100 words what format is sent
[20:10:33] <indy91> which is what all the normal downlink formats send
[20:10:51] <indy91> but V74 sends 130
[20:11:09] <indy91> 1 sync word, one word saying which bank is even being sent and then 128 data of a bank
[20:11:41] <indy91> so if that is changed correctly it should be able to smooth go from normal downlink to erasable dump and back
[20:12:04] <indy91> smoothly*
[20:13:18] <n7275> ahh, okay. for some reason I was under the impression that it only garbled our AGC page, but when I tried it recently I had a loss-of-sync problem. so that makes sense
[20:13:19] <indy91> there is a word order bit that is being sent, but not at all processed right now
[20:14:35] <indy91> that bit is always 1, except for the first word of a list
[20:14:43] <indy91> so that can be used to sync
[20:14:48] <indy91> buuuut
[20:15:04] <indy91> in the normal downlink formats, the 51st word also has that 0
[20:15:08] <indy91> like the 1st word
[20:15:12] <indy91> so that confuses me
[20:15:41] <indy91> I believe they could process the 2x 50 words separately with that
[20:15:48] <indy91> declare it to have good data separately
[20:16:01] <indy91> but it's causing a bit of trouble with finding sync
[20:16:13] <indy91> because it's not always the 1st word of a list if that bit is 0
[20:18:03] <indy91> I will also switch from CSM to LM telemetry client next time I mess with this
[20:18:29] <indy91> the CSM one still needs V2010 and I can't change the GUI at all or it fails to build...
[20:18:33] <indy91> VS2010*
[20:18:54] <indy91> kind of annoying to experiment and/or debug
[20:20:46] <n7275> once we merge the drift PR I'm working on telemetry processing
[20:36:30] <n7275> well...maybe I'll start that now. multitasking has always worked out great for me :)
[20:38:15] <indy91> when you have many projects then it increases the odds of one of them getting finished some time, right? Right??
[20:43:18] <thewonderidiot> I actually do think so haha
[20:44:34] <indy91> it works for some projects yeah. But there are some where I have then forgotten enough about how everything works that I have to start from scratch. Usually the complicated and complex projects.
[21:01:10] <thewonderidiot> oh yeah I don't disagree
[21:01:18] <thewonderidiot> case in point, I've had to re-learn how the CDU works several times now :P
[21:12:11] <indy91> don't expect me to know much Interpreter at this point :D
[21:12:15] <indy91> night!
