Recovered by Jerome, same boat as deployment.

Several false digifin leakdetects. This antenna needs work.

Gps started working again this morning seemingly.

Created by: dkaragon @ 2025-04-23 15:25:33Alert

u_expect_ice_near_surface is 0 and appears always has been. This appears to be a bug possibly.

Swam overnight by heading and it aborted for ice GPS invalid.

Had to loadmission ____.mi to reset the alert.

Increased abort threshold for invalid gps from 10 to 100, see how long that lasts or we can keep re-running mission.

Added some sensors to surface dialog to make sure cop is tickled.

GPS module, LNA, or antenna possibly not working.

GPS has been returning the same position/sentences:

Unable to get a GPS hit

Glider stuck on climb at 370 m. It flew 350 heading when it should be going south, consequence of strong southerly currents and southern waypoint, cc backwards quirk.

Stuck for over 20 hours, seemed to wiggle itself free, should look at MLG why it wiggled at end to free itself.

Glider appears to be fine, continuing mission.

u_max_water_speed limited may have the most effect. PRevious occurrences had hits have caused large water currents and thus strange heading decisions. Clips to u_max_water_speed

Increased post gps fix time see if that helps.

Weird c_heading of West when should have been going south.

Not sure if related to a bad GPS?

M_SURF_WATER_VEL_MAG(41.25) > 2.80 m/s

Station holding along route to see if GPS/navigation stabilizes.
