Reconfigure the SatNOGS client system with sudo satnogs-setup -n. You can adjust the RTL-SDR gain under Advanced configuration options. There are options for RF, IF and BB gain.
If you want to update SatNOGS software, run sudo satnogs-setup. It will pull the latest Ansible playbook and update if necessary. This action can potentially interrupt a running observation, though.
You can also update Raspbian packages if you like, using the normal APT updating methods (e.g. apt-get upgrade or aptitude).
Hi @Acinonyx – are the Raspbian images meant to replace the Fedora install process documented here, or will they both co-exist? I’m hoping to add some documentation to the SatNOGS wiki (and start setting up a ground station ), so I want to make sure I get things right.
But, you can get an idea of the default options from Ansible playbook variables which is actually what runs under the hood. Most of the commented out variables are set with the default values, except from the obvious which purely serve the role of examples.
Saw that in the Advanced Menu.
Wondering what default settings might be? For example, in gr-satnogs, hw-settings.py has a gain of 32.8 for rtlsdr. Is this the same with Ansible variables?
Also interesting to see that uploaded observations on station 119 from about 0630Z 20/09/17, all are waiting waterfall, some data, yet the audio is present. I do see the files sitting in /tmp/.satnogs/data/. What would be causing this?
Yes, I realise that, but the default settings are not shown on that page.
Is there a complete list somewhere of default values?
Even for just gain values. Or are they as per hw-settings.py?
I’m away from home right now, but one of the things I want to do when I get back is to capture a walkthrough of the Raspbian installation. Detailed info like you’re talking about, @Zathras, could probably go into either the wiki or the repository (though probably easier and more maintainable to keep it in the repo).
Of course, if anyone beats me to it and adds that info, I wouldn’t say no…
A new SatNOGS client image is available as of today. You can find the image here as usual. This new image is based on Raspbian buster and supports the new Raspberry Pi 4.
