I have an open source Java / tomcat web app that provides that and can make it available.

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 - 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.

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

I think I used predict for LINUX

Does that ring a bell ?

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:

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

Dan,

The tracker I wrote depends on pyephem :-)
