Re: Release of the Pacsat Ground station 0.46m

Hi Chris, Copy that. We'll go ahead and test it out when I'm back in the lab next week. In the meantime, I'm going to update the "Getting Started" doc with the testing we did last week. Pretty soon we should be able to start making videos. Sincerely, Alex KC3VGR ________________________________ From: Chris Thompson via pacsat-dev <pacsat-dev(a)amsat.org> Sent: Monday, November 25, 2024 11:04 AM To: pacsat(a)amsat.org <pacsat(a)amsat.org>; Pacsat Dev <pacsat-dev(a)amsat.org> Subject: [pacsat-dev] Release of the Pacsat Ground station 0.46m Just to let everyone know that I have released a new test version of the Pacsat Ground station. As usual, you can find it here: https://www.g0kla.com/pacsat/index.php This fixes an issue where it was impossible to log in to the Launchpad or Blinky board if you were a command station. It was trying to login with the Authenticated FTL0 commands that I invented for an ARISS project. Now it will only use those commands if the spacecraft sends the appropriate type of status frame. Meaning it must receive status packets sent to BBCOM rather than to BBSTAT. Comments welcome. 73 Chris VE2TCP -- Chris E.

Hi all, It looks like I don't have permission to push files to the GitHub repositories. Would someone be able to fix that so I can upload the Getting Started doc? Thank you! Sincerely, Alex

Update from last night
by Blumenthal, Alex 16 Nov '24

16 Nov '24

Hi all, I worked on the Launchpad a bit more after the meeting, so I wanted to give a brief update. It took me way too long to discover that I installed the wrong drivers from the Kenwood website. After installing the correct ones for the TH-D72, my computer assigned a com port. I started the ground station software again and changed the settings according to the information given in the previous meeting. However, it's not displaying any information from the packets. The radio is certainly receiving them. I'm going to keep reading through the manual for the software and work on it some more today. If it's still not displaying anything by next week's meeting, I'll share my screen. Sincerely, Alex
