Instructions on Installation and Configuration of WSPR Scheduler and the other tools

It currently works in any modern version of MS Windows

Getting Started:

Important: before installing WSPR Scheduler you must read the instructions in "Installation and Configuration.pdf" or read the Wiki page.

Key files to download first:
1. Download the database file wspr_db.sql (this contains the database tables on which everything depends - without this WSPR Scheduler will not work).
2. Download WSPRSked.msi (this is the installer for WSPR Scheduler)

You can download the other tools later

A summary of installation:

1. install xampp (which includes mySQL - the database used with WSPR Scheduler)
Note: you can also use the microsft mySQL app as an alternative, though instructions are only given for xampp at present.
2. import wspr_db.sql into mySQL and add the admin user
3. install .NET 9 runtime (though you'll be prompted to do this anyway when you run the msi installer)
4. install WSPR Scheduler by running WSPRSked.msi
5. configure WSPR Scheduler for your own station

Note: if you are using xampp to run the databses do not download and run the wspr_mysql.bat file as this will try to install MySQL Community (which you may use as an alternative to xampp) - you can run either, but not both.

You will need to configure WSPR Scheduler for your own needs (eg. callsign, locator, rig, audio, antennas etc.)

Once you have installed and configured WSPR Scheduler (and the databases) you can then install the other optional tools:

WSPR Scheduler Live (WSPR_Sked_Live.msi)
WSPR Scheduler Map  (WSPRMap.msi)
WSPR Scheduler Solar (WSPR_Sked_Solar.msi)

Other files:
arduino.cpp - this contains sample code if you are going to use an Arduino to control an antenna switch
wspr_enc.exe - this is a modified version of the original wspr encoder
