There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would prefer that the data be transmitted in Teslas (or some variant, like microteslas) as this is the SI unit for magnetic fields and the same unit used by the uORB framework. Doing it in gauss requires an extra conversion, and is less common in general. I also don't think we should base the packet format around the specific sensors we have this year (although I know it's currently practical).

I also changed the numbering for the types - 0x05 wasn't being used which was a little odd, may as well fix that while we're updating the packet spec on the telem app and groundstation |

Added a magnetic field block that is essentially the same as the acceleration block. Units are in milligauss as that's roughly the sensitivity of the magnetometer we're using.
