      Apollon-Q PP Payload Description Table

      Byte: 1-2
      Alias: module key
      Description: module_key
      Valid for versions: All - Basic payload, valid and available for all sensors of the Apollon-Q PP series
      Description:
      Byte 1

      • 4 bit MSB: Module code.For mioty only "Sentiface" telemetry module, that is always 0x1.
      • 4 bit LSB: Major version, FW of the same major version but larger minor version remain compatible with older decoders. The number of bytes can change!

      Byte 2

      • 4 bit MSB: Minor version, new SW versions may add new telemetry to the data packet incrementally.
      • 4 Bit LSB: Sub / Product Version.In Helios these bits encode the specific configuration of connected sensor technology.

      Byte: 3
      Alias: Uplink Counter
      Description: uplink_counter
      Valid for versions: All - Basic payload, valid and available for all sensors of the Apollon-Q PP series
      Description: Protocol for independent uplink counter, which reaches a maximum of 255, after which the counter starts at 0 again.

      Byte: 4-5
      Alias: Battery Voltage
      Description: internal_temperature
      Valid for versions: All - Basic payload, valid and available for all sensors of the Apollon-Q PP series
      Description: Current voltage of the battery in millivolts
      //Voltage in Volt battery_voltage: (dataBytes[3] << 8 | dataBytes[4]) / 1000.0

      Byte: 6
      Alias: Internal temperature
      Description: battery_voltage
      Valid for versions: All - Basic payload, valid and available for all sensors of the Apollon-Q PP series
      Description: Sensor internal temperature + 128 //Temp., in°C internal_temperature: dataBytes[5] - 128.

      Byte: 7
      Alias: Alarm variable
      Description: alarm
      Valid for versions: All - Basic payload, valid and available for all sensors of the Apollon-Q PP series
      Description: Variable that indicates whether error codes and values are being transmitted.
      An error occurs with values > 16 255: Internal hardware failure ToF
      For all values <16 are levels that were measured

      Byte: 8
      Alias: Object status, ToF sensor status
      Description: object_status
      Valid for versions: S-APOQ-XXXX-PP
      Description: Status of the sensor relative to the last measured value

      • 0: Valid range
      • 2/4: Out of bounds
      • 5: Hardware fail
      • 7: Wrapped target
      • 8: Algorithm fail
      • 14: Invalid range
      • 99: More than one valid target detected

      Byte: 9 - 10
      Alias: distance
      Description: object_distance
      Valid for versions: S-APOQ-XXXX-PP
      Description: Distance to the current object in mm

      Byte: 11 - 12
      Alias: Object Sigma
      Description: object_sigma
      Valid for versions: S-APOQ-XXXX-PP
      Description: Minimum variance and standard deviation with which a target is perceived as a target. If sigma is too small, the probability of misdetection increases

      Byte: 13 - 14
      Alias: object signal
      Description: object_signal
      Valid for versions: S-APOQ-XXXX-PP
      Description: minimum number of photons, minimum reflectivity that must come back from the target to be recognized as a target

      Byte: 15 - 16
      Alias: Object Ambient
      Description: object_ambient
      Valid for versions: S-APOQ-XXXX-PP
      Description: Ambient light of the target, not qualitative
