On the [Sofar Ocean support page](https://www.sofarocean.com/support), there are a bunch of helpful links, including [Spotter Data Access](https://www.notion.so/sofarocean/Spotter-Data-Access-c7f51351f82e4b21bc5e9251a84423c3) documentation.

Messages sent with `spotter_tx_data`, when viewed using the raw-messages API, can be recognized apart from the other Spotter messages because they will always have `0xDE` as the first byte. The first 29 bytes (including `0xDE`) are a header, and your payload starts at the 30th byte.
