Re: [Groundstation-user] gpredict

[Andrew R. <vk...@pe...>]

I did find something.

When I changed the time and date display, the dates and time did not sort
properley.

I changed it to Hour:Minute:Second Day:Month:Year in the format, and it
sorted wrong.

Pass duration and max elevation would be cool in the list view.

I like the way I can have a polar view and map and list on the one screen.

Took me a bit to work out the kep updates - but ok now.

Rotator control would be good - even if it just a simple protocol out.

Can we get more passes in the list view ?

Apart from that, awesome. I have a new PC on my desk here with LINUX.

It is possible. On grig side you need to use rig model 1901 and for
rigfile specify host:port to have grig connect to RPC rig running on
your home machine.

However, I wouldn't recommend this because there is no access control
from RPCRIG side, so technically anyone can connect to your rig and
control it! It may be possible to use authentication via an SSH tunnel
but I have no idea how this can be done.

Hello Joseph,

If you want to get in touch with satellite amateur radio operators in the US, I 
suggest you visit the website of AMSAT - the radio amateur satellite
corporation in the US. You can find it at
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/index.php

There is also an email based bulletin board where you can post you enquiries.
However, you have to subscribe before being able to post, see

develop this software, and offer it for free to everybody. We even provide free
support via mailing lists and forums to the extent our time permits.

So, if you bought a cdrom on ebay and it is not working, please contact the
seller of that cdrom via ebay for support. If the seller does not comply with
your request, you can file a complaint to ebay, give him bad credit or whatever,
but under no circumstances drag the developers into this.

You are welcome to ask for help on this mailing list but only for the software

[Groundstation-user] Gpredict 0.8.0 Released

[Alexandru C. <al...@ph...>]

Greeting,

Gpredict 0.8.0 has just been released today.
Besides the usual bug and memory leak fixes, this release features a
new simulated real-time and manual time controller, sky-at-glance
prediction mode, and background map selector.

Complete list of changes:

- Implemented simulated real-time and manual time control in addition to
  real-time control. Each module has now its own time controller.
- Sky at a glance pass prediction mode.
- Background map selector. Use either stock maps or own maps of any
  size.
- Adjust position of satellite names on the map in order to avoid
  clipping of the labels when the sat is close to the map border.
- Allow user to explicitly select DEFAULT ground station even after a
  new ground station is selected as default (bug #1656943).
- Allow users to specify ground station LAT and LON with up to four
  decimal digits.
- Fixed a bug that prohibited showing of satellite names in the
  single-sat view when the satellite name contained an '&' character
  (bug #1644926).
- Fixed a bug that prevented the "Enable rules hint in list views"
  setting to be disabled (bug #1728575).
- Fixed a bug in the pass prediction code that could cause crashes when
  there were no passes with max_el greater than the required elevation.
- Improved robustness of prediction code to avoid UI freeze when
  satellites have no passes in the near future.
- Fixed more memory leaks.

[Groundstation-user] Gpredict 0.7.1 Released

[Alexandru C. <al...@ph...>]

Greetings,

Gpredict 0.7.1 has been released today. It fixes several bugs
discovered in previous releases:

- Windows build files are now included in the source tarball.
- Fixed a bug that prevented TLE to be updated under win32 (bug
#1631803).
- Fixed some severe memory leaks (bug #1636429).
- Fixed a bug that caused an error message when creating modules with
two views (bug #1570195).
- Fixed a bug with missing arrows on win32 (bug #1580012).

Source tarball and windows binary is available in the project download
area:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=25530&package_id=20460&release_id=480054

Other binaries for Linux, BSD, and Mac should be available in the
corresponding repositories shortly.

[Groundstation-user] Gpredict 0.7.0

[Alexandru C. <al...@ph...>]

Greetings, 
 
- and a happy new year to you all! 
 
I am proud to announce version 0.7 of gpredict. 
News in this release: 
 
- Automatic update of TLE elements from network or local files.
  Gpredict can either notify the user when TLEs are getting too old, or
  perform automatic update in the background. The network update
  requires libcurl. 
- Added optional grid lines to the map view (30 deg resolution). 
- Added possibility to show ground tracks on the map (feature request
  #557586) 
- Added support for the optional operational status of satellites
  encoded into the satellite names in TLE coming from CelesTrak. 
- Fixed wrong epoch day in the satellite info dialogue (bug #1586341). 
- Polar and Az/El plots of passes in the single-pass dialogue. 
 
The source tarball is available from the SourceForge project page
http://sourceforge.net/projects/grooundstation/
(click on the green button). Binary packages for various linux
distributions, BSD and Windows XP will follow in a few weeks. Please
note that I only provide the windows binary; the other binaries are
usually available in either the official or third party repositories of
the corresponding OS (see
http://groundstation.sourceforge.net/gpredict/download.php for the
latest info).

Enjoy!

Glad to hear that you finally have success with installing grig.

There was indeed a bug in the way grig handled the RF gain and some
other controls. It has now been fixed in the 0.7.2 release, thanks to
Ken N7IPB. The new release is now available and the debian package will
most likely be updated soon.

Sorry, I have no idea about this one :(

For a fully computer controlled rig, like your pegasus, grig has to
read and write a lots of parameters all the time, but the speed of a
serial communication line is rather limited. Grig tries to be smart by
giving some parameters higher priority than to others. For example
operating  frequency and signal strength have much higher priority than
AF gain and this may indeed cause the "jumpy" behaviour you have been
experiencing.

I have tried to improve on this in 0.7.2, and there are a few things
you can try for yourself in order to improve it even more:

1. Make sure you use the highest possible serial speed.
2. Make the level control window taller so that you get a better
resolution.
3. Use the scroll wheel on your mouse instead of dragging the handle
and don't do it too fast.

I know these sound like silly workarounds and I will try to improve on
this later on, until then it may work like this.

[Groundstation-user] Grig 0.7.2 Released

[Alexandru C. <al...@ph...>]

This releses fixes some bugs that caused wrong handling of RF gain, IF
shift, MIC gain and compression level controls. Moreover, the volume
control has been given higher priority to avoid "jumpy" behaviour.

The source package is available from the sourceforge download area
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=25530&package_id=35155 

Binary packages for various distributions may become available from
third parties later.

[Groundstation-user] Grig: Controlling the TenTec Pegasus

[Irena & R. J. <ric...@in...>]

Hello folks...

I have installed the latest Grig version on my Kubuntu system ... using the 
Debian package ... to be absolutely up-to-date!  I have managed to control 
the radio ... and even have a small QSO with a local amateur on 40 metres.

However, I am concerned about the behaviour of some of the controls ... 
particularly the RF=gain control.  When I set this to a specific value ... 
say to maximum ... it drops back to zero again ... almost immediately.  Has 
anyone else noticed this behaviour?  Maybe there is a work around?

My beautiful remote VFO dial which connects to the Pegasus via the remote 
socket ... refuses to work.

Also I find that the action of the volume control is jumpy ... and when you 
have your shack inside the house ... you get complaint about loud noises.

It's becoming a fantastic piece of software ... and I would love to banish the 
windows-based control program from my benchtop!!

Richard

PS  I have updated the Pegasus firmware successfully ... and have used the 
transceiver with a late version of the control software from TenTec.

The map view was not functional until the 0.5.99.8 release. In any
case, you should install the latest 0.6.1 release, since the 0.5.99.x
series were just some development snapshots.

Yes it is at the moment. You have to re-open the module or restart
gpredict when you update the TLEs. The next version will have built-in
TLE update, both from internet and local files :-)

In case you get into trouble compiling, there is an RPM available for
fedora core, see
http://groundstation.sourceforge.net/gpredict/download.php#fc

You may even be able to rebuild the source rpm for mandriva.

Hi I've just got 5.99.5 running, and ther's a lot more features than 5.0.
I've compiled twice once using hamlibs and the other not using hamlibs.
I've also printed out the manual, read it, maybe I've missed something, 
but I don't have
footprints for the sats on the map.
Also when updating TLE there's no indication its doing anything , is 
this normal ?

All dependencies for compiling grig should be available as binary
packages for Ubuntu. Thus, they can be installed using the package
manager of Ubuntu (synaptic?), and if you select the top-level
requirements, libgtk2.0-dev and libhamlib-dev, the other dependecies
should be resolved automatically by the package manager.

As this page reveals
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/hamradio/grig
"edgy" contains already grig 0.7.0 - if you can install that, it should
also be possible to install grig 0.7.1 from the debian repository
http://packages.debian.org/testing/hamradio/grig

As you can see, the dependencies on debian and ubuntu are pretty much
the same.

[Groundstation-user] GRIG Binaries For (K)ubuntu

[Irena a. R. J. <ric...@in...>]

Dear Alexander

Do you have the email contacts for that amateur who was compiling grig for use 
on ubuntu machines?  My attempts to compile from sources keep 
coming 'unstuck' because of unmet dependencies.  No sooner do I address some 
of them ... then more pop up!  

I may have to wait until a new version of (k)ubuntu is released ... to take 
advantage of the needed updates to programs and libraries.
