Size of buffer #62

Closed bjorkqvi closed 2 years ago

bjorkqvi commented 2 years ago

How large is the buffer of the buoy? I'm thinking about a situation where the transmission is obstructed for some reason (e.g. snow) and the buoy cannot transmit. What is the recommended way to get the buffered data if the buoy is retrieved after such an incident?

You can see it here:

These are the default values I have been using for quite some time, but you can always compile with other values - make sure to not exhaust RAM in this case :) .

Let me know if this is clear / answers what you want to know :) .
