Curious on Broadcast Timestamp - Using id_scanner.ino #30

Closed Greg-C10 closed 10 months ago

Greg-C10 commented 10 months ago

I was looking at the broadcast requirements (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-F/part-89/subpart-D/section-89.305)

It states: A time mark identifying the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time of applicability of a position source output.

I was trying to find a UTC timestamp in the location type message. It appears they are providing seconds after the last full hour (opendroneid.c static float decodeTimeStamp(uint16_t Seconds_enc)). Couldn't you get a UTC timestamp from the GPS sensor and broadcast it?
