Message Transmission - Swarm Network
13
You can now queue a message on the Tile
with the $TD (Transmit Data) command.
Determine what you would like to send as
your first message (within quotes), and
calculate the
for the message.
In this example:
- Command:
$TD
- Message string:
"Hello World!"
- Checksum:
*31
The full command to the Tile will then be:
$TD "Hello World!"*31
If the message is accepted, a
$TD
OK
response will be received, and the message
will be queued for transmission and stored
in the Tile memory.
If the message is not sent , it will remain on
the Tile for 48 hours by default. You can
increase this expiration time if desired.
See section 6 of the
for more details .
$TD "Hello World!"*31
$TD OK,5354468575916*2c
$TD SENT,5354468575916*24

Using the Swarm
Tool, enter your location to
see the next available satellite passes
overhead.
Find an upcoming pass of at least 10
minutes, during which time you will
attempt to transmit your queued
message to the Swarm Network.
If a message is delivered from the Tile
to the satellite, a
$TD
Sent
response
will be seen in the telnet/nc session.
