Implement Data Upload/Charging Mode in ceti-tag-data-capture systemd service #39

Closed MattCummings0517 closed 1 year ago

This is to address the following operational bug that has been occurring in the field:

PROPOSED FIX We'll add a new mode to the ceti-tag-data-capture service for charging and upload. The operator instructions will change for Tags with this fix in place. Instead of stopping the capture service, the operator will invoke the new mode. The new mode will simply gracefully stop the recording threads gracefully and provide and indication via one of the LEDs that it is in this new mode.

Closing this issue - was addressed by adding an independent battery monitor service. This service runs separately from the main recorder app and will handle the case where batteries were being overdischarged.
