Satellite Poweroff/on Logic #263

Open hhenry01 opened 9 months ago

hhenry01 commented 9 months ago

Purpose

Having the satellite constantly running consumes an absurd amount of the power budget for no benefit, as it operates very infrequently.

Description

We need to add logic to the Local Transceiver to shut off the satellite hardware when convenient. We also need logic to turn it back on and wait for it to properly start up again before continuing normal Local Transceiver operations (send sensors, receive waypoints).
