python3 main.py

Currently the GPS module (u-blox NEO-6M) is working with some patches solutions. There are three main problems:

1. Once you run main.py and it's successfully running. After of one hours approximately the program will turn to a error: IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files. This must to be a OS error caused by open a lot file to save the data (with Python 3). A patche solution is to reboot the OBC running sudo reboot or reboot by a except statements and os.system() method.
2. When GPS is no detecting enough satellites (event no one), we get an error beacause the lack of data. Often that would print something like "no satellite data available", but that isn't woking at all. Once the GPS is detecting enough satellites and data, we will see a different types of "encryptation". For our purposes only we need the "GPGGA", the other serial data that we don't need is reading too, but it is causing failures at the time to read it. THe patche solutions is en main.py, where once we get a error, the console will print GPS data failed.
3. Sometime we can get a UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x96 in position 35: invalid start byte. The decode byte and positions can be differente, I don't no why. This can be understood to mean the serial data is not always getted in utf-8 codification format. The patche is in main.py too, because is detected as OSError.

Summary

• Monitor internal temperature, moisture, pressure
• Emergency reset for OBC
