Hello
I used to make use of predict using scripts
Since then the raspberry pi and arduinos have come along
What LINUX satellite tracking program could be queried or send data about
Satellite elevation and angle
Satellite doppler frequency
I want to make a multi satellite radio and rotor control box with auto update keeps
I want to use perl to do the hard work
I want an arduino or the Pi to do the doppler and rotator
Andrew
I have an open source Java / tomcat web app that provides that and can make it available.

The libastro library contains essentially the same tracking functions that Predict uses internally. It is available for most distributions.

ANGST: G3RUH plan 13 algorithim libraries for arduino.
The original BBC basic code (plan 13 ) is easy to read.
Have fun.

Andrew - If you can use Python, consider the pyephem module. It can predict satellite passes, calculate azimuth/elevation, determine eclipse state, etc based on TLE data. See http://rhodesmill.org/pyephem/tutorial.html.

Dan,
The tracker I wrote depends on pyephem :-)

Has anyone ever worked with the SGP4 propagator. I saw there was a python package for it at pypi. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sgp4 vy 73,Dave N4KD

All of the above can be handled by an Arduino or compatible board that has a wifi or Ethernet module. I did it with an Adafruit Feather M0 and TFT feather wing. I started development on the auto update of keps from AMSAT using a wifi version of the board. I had to pack all that stuff up when I relocated out of Los Angles but now that I have to deal with winter I plan to get back to some of these projects that are collecting dust. You can have a look at one of my posts on twitter here https://twitter.com/w8lid/status/894272192480911360

Andrew,
I wrote this a while back but it's still worth a look if you don't ind using Python on your PI. Google code is gone these days but so many others had forked the project that I didn't bother backing it up. Here's a url:

I think I used predict for LINUX
Does that ring a bell ?
