#Macdoppler software

Generates udp datastream to test various positions. I added a 'bypass' where I close and reopen the telescope Mount TCO session after so many command loops.

There is a wierd 5 second hang in responses from the Telescope Mount.

Updated to close Telescope Mount TCP session after 30 seconds of inactivity.

Updated to work and save Altitude (elevation) and Azimuth in degrees with the conversion to telescope arcseconds commands at the time of command.

Third thread waits on keyboard input and ends on q/Q or exception such as ctrl-c.

(Demo): ' MacDoppler will provide any level of station automation you need from assisted Doppler Tuning and Antenna Pointing right on up to fully automated Satellite Gateway operation.

Second thread loops checking every 0.4 seconds for any change in object data and if so, formats and sends telescope mount commands. MacDoppler 2.12b5 - Satellite and station tracking.

First thread is the udp listener which updates an object when data is received.

#Macdoppler how to

Improved code based on three threads running simutanionsly. Trouble with removing MacDoppler 2.18 Dont know how to delete MacDoppler 2.18 leftovers See the detailed instruction in this page of how to fully remove. Any pause I would make for the telescope mount would ignore udp data. Single threaded which would action a command to the telescope when udp data was received from MacDoppler which just happens to be every second. I am using the ioptrom mount so telescope commands are formatted for this mount. The UDP stream contains Azimuth and Elevation together with satellite name.

#Macdoppler software

MacDoppler or similar software that outputs a 'rotator' UDP stream for a satellite position every second.This happens every second effectivly tracking the satellite across the sky.Īntennas are mounted to the iOptron telescope mount for amateur radio satellite communications. MacDoppler will provide any level of station automation you need from assisted doppler tuning and antenna pointing right on up to fully automated satellite gateway operation. We listen for this stream and convert to Ioptron goto telescope mount contol commands to slew the mount to point to the satellite. MacDoppler software outputs a udp stream every second with elevation (altitude) and azumuth of passing satellites. Satellite tracking using a goto telescope mount.
