Hi Bob, W7LRD
First of all.
In the rear of control box of G5400B you have a DIN connector named
external control.
Disconnect the male of the interface from the above DIN connector.
Using a piece of wire connect the central pin Nr 8 of the above DIN
connector to pin Nr 4 and the rotor must rotate CCW.
After that connect the central pin Nr 8 to pin Nr 2 and the rotor must
rotate CW.
To locate Pin Nr 4 and pin Nr 2 of the DIN connector refere to the
manual of G5500 available in internet.
If you pass the above test it means that the control box is electronically
operational with your interface and you must investigate into the
interface or into your PC or into the interconnection cables.

Hi Group
Have just downloaded the trial version of SATPC32 and have most things
working ok.
The only thing I cant get to work is the Doppler tracking SatPC2
controls the rig an Icom 910 fine with the default satellites well.
It give examples of what to added in the Doppler.SQF file so here are my
questions.
Should the Doppler.SQF file have been created during installation I had
to create my manually?
I have put an entry in for ARiSSAT1 but SATPC32 is not picking this
information up from the file.
I know that this is a newbie error but could somebody point me in the
right direction
73 and Thanks

Keith,
The name you use in the DOPPLER.SQF file must match the name in the Keps
exactly for the program to match them up. ARISSat-1 is identified as
RADIOSCAF-B in the AMATEUR.TXT file, but ARISSAT1 in the NASA.ALL file. You
should be using the first, since it is more current. Change that in the
DOPPLER.SQF file, and it should work.
Once your get it working, you can experiment with the AMSATNAMES.TXT file
which allows you to create a sort of translation so that SATPC32 will
recognize different names.
73s,
Alan

A while back, while moving some cables, I managed to connect a 25 pin
serial cable to my 25 pin parallel printer port. Some interesting things
happened, the weirdest was that my computer reported a wild CPU
temperature increase. I think on my MB, the chip that handles the
parallel port also performs CPU temperature monitoring and I forced the
chip VCC higher than normal having RS232 voltage levels presented on its
I/O pins.

Hi Guys
Many thanks for all the help the Doppler function is now working
correctly.
My issue was that because all my computers are on a domain the my
documents folder is on the server and not the local PC when SATPC32
installed it puts all the .SQF files on the server.
Once I realised what was happening I found the file and added the
satellites and all worked ok.
Thanks again for your help

Hi all.
The ARISSat team seem to have reached the conclusion that the Silver Zinc
battery technology is not really suited for
an orbiting satellite with a 55 / 35 minute charge and discharge cycle. I
wonder if a couple of small
Lithium polymer battery packs would be a suitable replacement for ARISSat-2
? I note that there are safety issues with Li-ion technology,
but there are some small battery packs of 10Whr / 20Whr 30Whr modules which
have NASA approval for manned space flight.
>From the odd snippet of information on the power required during eclipse
(is it 7 Watts for 35 minutes) it looks like 20-25% depth of discharge for
the 20Whr battery pack. That's probably OK for a 9 month mission ??
Thanks

I am running ARISSatTLM software to receive the data from the ARISSat-1
satellite. I have seen several mentioning sending .csv files with
data. Is the ARISSatTLM capable of generating a .csv data file?
Perhaps a cut and paste of the data is done. I g too
hard. One day I was getting disgusted with it all and just did nothing,
no tuning, no nothing. I received 9 frames of data perfectly. Once
again the philosophy of "if it don't stink, don't stir" applies. This
satellite has added many hours of fun to my amateur radio hobby.

Harvey,
I intended to release an android app that would allow you to map ARISSat-1
and receive the telemetry for it. However, I never did put the finishing
touches on it and publish it <grin>. I did show it to a few AMSAT people
though and they seemed to like the idea. My implementation consisted of a
2D map view using the Google Maps API. There were options to control the
rendered tracks, including:
- minutes before / after to show
- number of tracks to show
- how often to update
I would like to turn this into a generic tracking app down the road. This
app would only provide a 2D map, to start out. Some features I wanted to
add include:
- ground footprint of satellite
- one-touch-predictions
Are you a developer? Would you be interested in helping out with it? If
you have not done mobile development before, maybe think twice :-) It's Not
Easy.
Let me know,
Joseph Armbruster

Hi James,
The CSV files are created automatically. You should have an "ARISSatTLM"
folder on the desktop of your computer, created during the installation.
Look in there, under the "Telemetry" folder.
That was easy, wasn't it? :) Gotta love those kind of fixes.
Glad you are having fun and success with telemetry collection. It's been
fun for me, too.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Tracking Program
Has anyone found a tracking program for the Droid system?,
Yes indeed, the csv files are there! I am sure somewhere there was
mention of this but in my haste to get going I did like most and did not
read the instructions.
I have been a ham for 50 years and have never had so much fun as I am
having with satellites. I am a newbie and at times a slow learner. I
just hate the fact that I have just recently discovered the satellite
side of amateur radio. My assumption was that a large antenna array was
needed. Once again I did not read the fine print as I have been active
on VHF and UHF from day one. Perhaps it is good to get into the program
as many of the satellites bite the dust. You sure cannot drag your feet
as the satellite may lose a battery or be a shooting star at any time.
Thanks!
