GromPack Operations Manual

1. Initialization

Before deployment, the GromPack telemetry module must be paired and initialized via the host application to ensure a synchronized clock and active logging state.

1. Connect the module to the programming jig via the 4-pin SWD interface.
2. Flash the latest Zephyr RTOS binary using a standard J-Link programmer.
3. Verify the initialization sequence: The onboard micro-LED will pulse rapidly for 3 seconds upon a successful boot.

2. Mounting Protocol

Proper mounting is critical to minimize behavioral interference in the test subject while maintaining optimal antenna orientation.

• Surface Preparation: Ensure the dorsal surface is clean and dry.
• Adhesion: Apply a microscopic drop of bio-compatible UV-curing epoxy to the underside of the GromPack PCB.
• Placement: Position the device centrally on the thorax. Expose to 365nm UV light for 10 seconds to secure the bond.

3. Data Acquisition

The module streams high-resolution accelerometer and orientation data. Ensure line-of-sight to the base station for optimal continuous streaming.
