Hello All,



Looking for some way to tie Orbitron to SDRsharp to allow for doppler tracking

of the satellites as they come overhead.



Has anyone developed a .dll file for the Windows version to do this?



Thanks and 73,



James, AA5AO

Hi James,



It doesn't do CAT, but it does integrate with Orbitron via DDE.



I'm going to provide two links to files.  The first used to work, but is an

older build and might not be compatible with the latest plugin API.  The second

should be compatible with the latest plugin API, but I haven't tested it:



http://public-xrp.s3.amazonaws.com/SatelliteTracker.zip



http://public-xrp.s3.amazonaws.com/SatelliteTracker2.zip



There's a little readme that provides some pretty terse instruction.  It's

definitely not perfect, and you'll need to ensure that your dongle has had PPM

correction done so that when Orbitron tunes to some off the wall doppler

corrected frequency, the dongle actually goes there and not +/- 3khz.



Good luck.

Hi tanks for the great plugin SATELITE TRACKER ... I do test version 2 and it

runs with the last version of sdr# available (924).

I have 2 questions about it if you please help.

- The plugin tries to start an instance of sdr# even if there is another

running. Could it be avoided ?

- The band NFM-AM-CW-LSB looks like it is not imposed. Could it be forced ?

I must say the frequency is corrected with doppler and looks very good

many tanks for the atention and devlopment of plugin.

Hi there,



Unfortunately both of these are due to Orbitron behavior.



- Orbitron attempts to start the selected 'Driver', which in this case, is

SDRSharp.  I've found that simply starting Orbitron first, and then starting

SDRSharp by clicking the little button to the right of the driver selection

window, works fine.



- Orbitron does not seem to provide modulation information in the DDE output,

even the 'default' MyDDE driver does not display it.  It would be trivial to

assert the mode if it did.



Thanks for the feedback.

==========================================



Bob,



WXtrack should be compatible with HDSDR, and it does provide the modulation

mode if known.  Can't comment on the starting order, though.  I understand

that WXtrack support for SDR# is in progress.



Cheers,

David

Hello,



I need some help with setting all of this up.  I have added the "add key" line

into SDRSharp.exe.config and made sure that the four files from the

Stellitetracker.zip file were copied in the same folder as SDRSharp.exe



When I runn SDRSharp, it gives me "The application failed to start because its

side-by-side configuration is incorrect.  Please see theapplication event log or

use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool..."



HELP!  I need to do a complete reinstall from the Install archive to get it

working again.  I am doing this in a Windows-7 enviroment.



Thanks,



James, AA5AO

Hi no problem

Just let it be and install the usual way the latest SDR-NIGHTLY and

SDR-NIGHTLY-RTLSDR. Do not need to uninstall nothing. Do like usual with the

config file ( copy from config directory ). CHECK to see sdr# running normally.

If all OK then you could pass to satellite tracker. Use Satelite tracker 2 ...

do as you has done before but when modifying the config file you must copy two

lines ...

add key=......?????.

value=......???????.

like you have on the readme.txt

All done check rds# and you should observ that the new plugin "SateliteTracker"

is there

Good Luck

Hi James,



You may need the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 32-bit redistributables  installed. 

The 'NDde.dll' has to communicate with the DDE interface in windows through C++.



Try here:

I have set up the satellitetracker and it seems to work fine. Here is my

question. I am going to be receiving the Fitsat satellite transmitting on

5.84GHz. I am using an LNB which has a local oscillator frequency of 4.505GHZ.

The output then will be 1.335GHz which is what I will be feeding into the

dongle. How do I set up SDR# and Orbitron so that I am correcting the doppler at

5.84GHz while the dongle is receiving 1.335GHz?



Many thanks!

I can not say how this can be done with sdr sharp ... is there an option to

type in fixed downconverter value?!? ... if not that has to be added in a

future version (something to put on todo list)



In hdsdr (what I used before there was no link to orbitron in sdrsharp)

You set the correct qrg in orbitron (here the 5,84ghz) ... and set in the

options of hdsdr that the sdr is connected to antenna via that downconverter

(type in the 4.505ghz there)



Now hdsdr displays correct qrg (5,84) but sends the corrected value (qrg

minus offset) to the sdr hardware



Hope that helps a bit :-)

The Offset setting might solve a lot of problems, of course.

The "shift" setting does exactly that



Type in the lo frequency of the downconverter



(example setting 4.5 gig there and you receive 5.8 gig while the sdr gets

1.3 gig as the lo setting)



Did not test it together with orbitron ... but .. if orbitron sends the 5.8

to sdrsharp ... and you have the correct downconverter frequency set (switch

it on in the white box close to "shift") ... the sdr should send the correct

lo to your sdr (regardless what sdr you use)



(tested with rtl stick and with fcd)

OK, I guess I am doing something wrong. I have three boxes to fill in for SDR#:

frequency, center, shift. If I put 4.505 into shift, and 5.84 into frequency and

center then SDR# exhibits the sum 10.305 on the screen. I set Orbitron with the

downlink frequency of 5.84 and that changes nicely in Orbitron and the frequency

box of SDR#. I don't think I am there yet. What am I missing?

Right now using the negative LO, the screen shows the IF frequency.  I will have

to take this down to the shack and generate a signal at 5.84GHz, receive it with

the LNB connected to the RTLSDR and see if I am actually receiving the IF signal

at 1.335GHz.

Rob,



It looks like it is a Windows problem. When I said everything worked, that was

on my Windows 7 32 bit computer. I just set everything up on a laptop running

Windows 7 64 bit and I get the errors that you get. Unfortuneately, I will have

to run the program on the laptop. Unless, someone has some ideas on how to

correct this problem I will have to wipe the laptop and load Windows 7 32 bit.

:( :(



Al W8KHP





Ok, must be my end, probably have an old SDRSharp version.

Works fine for 70cm sat doppler correction here, just not with negative LO,

Negative LO works only if i enter it manually!



If you do receive the signal I would appreciate the raw IQ data to post process

if you can record it..? this will test if I can do the 115.2kbps FSK de-mod

correctly!

I'm working on my 5.8GHz rx here for FITSAT but not quite ready yet.

Using a _negative_ LO frequency ends up with the right IF tuning

frequency here but an error..

I think we have exceeded a 32bit integer somewhere...

I think I am back to square one. The connection to Orbitron and using the LO as

the offset seemed to be working under Windows 7 32 bit. When using another

computer with Windows 7 64 bit I got the same error as Rob got (described

below). I loaded the software onto a third computer running 32 bit Windows XP

and got the same error. So I went back to the original computer with Windows 7

32 bit and now I get the same error there. Don't know what changed. Does

anything get written to the dongle?



I still need a way to receive the satellite at 5.84GHz with the lnb (local

oscillator at 4.505) and receive the 1.335GHz signal with the dongle and have

the 5.84GHz signal doppler corrected. Otherwise will have to just set SDR# at

the 1.335GHz frequency and manually tune the doppler.

Set the offset to 4.505GHz (4505000000) and the LO to 5.84 GHz.

Tell Orbitron it is tracking at 5.84 GHz.

Hope that is useful for someone t debug.... I have other things to do ;-)

Hello All again,



Many thanks to the community for helping me get the software set up.  SDRSharp

now will track Doppler shift from Orbitron.



Now to add a preamp and good external antenna to hear the birds.



73,
