Software for parsing AAUSAT4 beacons using a bluebox.
Installation:
$ git clone https://github.com/aausat/aausat4_beacon_parser.git
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python parser.py -h
usage: parser.py [-h] [--lat LAT] [--lon LON] [--alt ALT] [--disable-doppler]
[--enable-reporting] [--hexstr HEXSTR]
AAUSAT4 Beacon Parser
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--lat LAT Latitude of ground station (N), e.g. 55.6167
--lon LON Longitude of ground station (W), e.g. -12.6500
--alt ALT Altitude of ground station (meters), e.g. 10
--disable-doppler Disables doppler tracking.
--enable-reporting Enables automatic reporting of received packets.
--hexstr HEXSTR Decodes the hex string and exits.
When start the program for continuous decoding (with a BlueBox),
the location of the ground station is specified as arguments when the
program is started (or the --disable-doppler flag).
The location is used for doppler tracking.
If the --enable-reporting flag is specified, all raw data will be
forwarded to the AAUSAT4 team.
$ python parser.py --lat 55.6167 --lon -12.6500 --alt 10 --enable-reporting
