Config sense hat in payload doc:

[sblair1290]

Folks,

at the end of the configuration process for setting up a payload document the PITS manual states 'we describe how to add fields for extra sensors in the section about configuring those sensors'. I have a sense hat in my setup but I cannot locate the section referred to.

Has anybody included a sense hat with their own project and if so, how are its sensors included in the payload document?

thanks in advance,

Stuart

First, see the sticky re where to go for PITS support.

Using the sense HAT for radio telemetry requires 3 steps, not just the payload doc:

- Write some code to read the sense HAT sensors and produce a CSV file from the results (see sample Python script)
- Configure PITS to read that file and add the fields to the telemetry string
- Create a payload doc that includes those extra fields

So, whatever values you're writing to that file, you need to add those to the payload doc. That's it.

Is there a 'good time' to seek advice via freenode? I am on just now and the room seems empty. Perhaps after 5pm?
