# Catch the RAJ9
|
||||
|
||||
A python script we used to track the RAJ9 High Altitude Baloon from OK1RAJ (https://ok1raj.cz/) during Maker Faire Prague Online 2020 (https://www.makerfaireprague.online/)
|
||||
The python script we used to track the RAJ9 High Altitude Baloon from OK1RAJ (https://ok1raj.cz/) during Maker Faire Prague Online 2020 (https://www.makerfaireprague.online/). It can send the gathered information to a specified telegram channel or show the possition in a live map.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: The thing is pretty hacky, we wrote it overnight. We just thought to put it out there in case it could be useful to someone.
|
||||
|
||||
# Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- Software Defined Radio - [RTL-SDR](https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/) or similar
|
||||
- SDR control program - [GQRX](https://gqrx.dk/) or similar
|
||||
- [FLDIGI](https://github.com/w1hkj/fldigi/) or even better [dl-fldigi](https://github.com/jamescoxon/dl-fldigi) for uploading to [habhub.org](http://habhub.org) at the same time
|
||||
- the script also relies on the awesome [pyfldigi](https://github.com/KM4YRI/pyFldigi), [crccheck](https://pypi.org/project/crccheck/) and optionally [python-telegram-bot](https://pypi.org/project/python-telegram-bot/) and [selenium](https://pypi.org/project/selenium/) python modules.
|
||||
|
||||
# Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. connect RTL-SDR
|
||||
2. start GQRX and configure the correct frequency and modulation
|
||||
3. start FLDIGI/DL-FLDIGI
|
||||
4. set the correct decoding parameters in FLDIGI/DL-FLDIGI settings, in case of RAJ9 set the following parameters:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Modem/TTY/Tx:
|
||||
Carrier shift: Custom
|
||||
Custom shift: 540
|
||||
Baud rate: 100
|
||||
Bits per character: 7
|
||||
Stop bits: 2
|
||||
Filter Adjustment: 1.3
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. configure the XML-RPC API in FLDIGI/DL-FLDIGI settings:
|
||||
```
|
||||
On fl-digi latest:
|
||||
Miscs/TCP-IP sessions:
|
||||
Lock: false
|
||||
On dl-fldigi:
|
||||
Rig/XML-RPC:
|
||||
Use XML-RPC program: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
6. It should work now! Start the script.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the telegram feature, you will have to set a valid bot key in the program.
|
||||
If you want to use the live map view feature, you will have to get a geckdriver executable.
