Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] free USRP (has a new home)

[Patrik Tast]

FYI,

There is also a cross-platform POES/GOES LRIT/HRIT spacecraft decoder 
work-in-progress
Screen shot http://www.poes-weather.com/~patrik/1.7GHz/POES-USRP-Decoder.jpg

At the moment it does the following:
- render NOAA POES HRPT imagery
- render decompressed GOES LRIT/HRIT full disk imagery
- realtime satelellite tracking and prediction
- LPT rotor control support
- antenna AZ/EL HID device sensor support

I have not yet bothered to make a HOWTO web-page but soon when it gets 
warmer up here North....
It is built using Qt Creator

If you are interested, checkout the latest revision from and do a build
svn checkout 
http://noaaport.poes-weather.com:8081/subversion/hrpt-decoder/branches/1.0.0.2/

View the work in progress at
http://noaaport.poes-weather.com:8081/viewvc/branches/1.0.0.2/?root=hrpt-decoder

Warning, it is a VERY work in progress SW,
Patrik
