Hans,
What is the serial port error? That should not show up if you have TCP selected.

Chris, thank you for updating the PacSat software and fixing the Java problem. Version 0.22 is starting up without any problems now. I use UDP streaming from GQRX into direwolf and the PacSat software can read the KISS data via TCP on port 8001 then. Every time v0.22 is starting up it still complains that I need to set up a virtual serial port, but the ignoring the warning seems fine. It shows a 'decoder ready' message, so I assume that means it's working.
Reading the manual now as I have no experience with PacSat. Waiting for a good pass of Falconsat-3 tomorrow to see if I can get some data in. Data out is for another day.
73 and cheers,
Hans

Hello all,
I downloaded the software (V0.21) from the G0KLA website, running it on Linux (Kubuntu 18.04 with Java version 0.64). Well, I'm trying to run it, because I get the following error message.....
java -jar PacSatGround.jar Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1 at PacSatGround.main(PacSatGround.java:29)
On my laptop it runs fine, albeit it uses a slightly older Java version (0.59) on Debian Testing from 18.03 (Netrunner).
Question: is there a specific Java version that has to be used with V0.21 of the PacSat software, or is my system messed up and I need to do a fresh install?
Cheers,
Hans

Hi Chris,
I've been able to pull AX.25 frames from the satnogs .oggrecordings of Falconsat-3 and I usually get more valid frames than satnogs shows on the webpage when using my brute force demodulator (my brute force demodulator was the topic of my Symposium paper). Can you contact me off the list and let's work out how to automate demodulating telemetry from the existing recordings (and new recordings as they get added) and get it into the telemetry server.

Hi Chris, we spoke at the symposium about sharing data..
The best way to pull data would be to periodically pull from the api for db.satnogs.org, however its not working at the moment[1]. I've got some free time this weekend, I'll see if I can get this fixed.
That said, we have been decoding the messages we have from falconsat-3 into our dashboard[2] going back to April. Its just running through a message decoder, no telemetry. It shouldn't be too hard to write a struct for the telemetry, and re-decode the frames so we can make use of the rest of the data.
I'll reach out directly once the API is fixed..

I'm not aware of that data or how to access it. If there is an archive
of
data and it includes the WE files then it might be useful to us.
