Fully automated ISS SSTV, NOAA and Meteor satellite image downloader using Raspberry PI

NOAA and Meteor automated capture using Raspberry PI

Most of the code and setup stolen from: Instructables

New Features!

• ISS SSTV reception and decoding
• A webpanel!
• Meteor M2 full decoding!
• Nginx webserver to show images
• Timestamp and satellite name overlay on every image
• WXToIMG configured to create several images (HVC,HVCT,MCIR, etc) based on sun elevation
• Pictures can be posted to Twitter. See more at argentinasat twitter account

Install

There's an install.sh script that does (almost) everything at once. If in doubt, see the install guide

Post config

• Setup Twitter auto posting feature

How do I know if it is running properly?

This project is intended as a zero-maintenance system where you just power-up the Raspberry PI and wait for images to be received. However, if you are in doubt about it just follow the working guide

Hardware setup

Raspberry-noaa runs on Raspberry PI 2 and up. See the hardware notes

raspberry-noaa's Issues

No Meteor images

I get no images in the script. What is wrong.?

Adding more *enhancements* in the results

Hello, thanks for this great project I'm currently using with success, after a little customization - just about this, can you help me adding 2 more enhancements to the results? I would like to post process in 'thermal' and 'sea thermal' if possibile, I've opened and tried to edit receive.sh file but I'm afraid I can do mess here...

Thanks for your work.

Cant receive picture from sdr

Hello everyone,sorry for my bad english. Im just wondering why i cant receive any picture from sdr. Currently i lived in Malaysia. I think most likely i configured the predict program wrongly. May i know what causes this problem? Thanks alot !!

Not an Issue: METEOR-M M2 IR channel activated

Hi @reynico , I don;t know if you heard but I have seen multiple accounts on twitter posting photos from METEOR-M M2 at night because of the activation of the IR channel. Is there anything we need to do to receive these transmissions?

date: invalid date ‘@’

I've been using raspberry-noaa for a few months without issue.
Over the last few days there's been no predictions. I've run the job manually and the error is...

date: invalid date ‘@’

I think I may have done an apt upgrade before this happened. But I didn't think it would cause such an issue.
Any idea how I can go about diagnosing this one?

[Error] existing rtl_fm instance running, I quit

Describe the bug
Per my previous problems with Meteor files and processing running out of space, I upgraded to a 64gig sd card.
Now I see a meteor audio file and am still searching through mail to see what happened creating the image, when
I ran across this error "ERROR : There is an existing rtl_fm instance running, I quit"

Any thoughts as to what happened, why this happened and how to get more debugging info out?

Time zone setting has no effect

Describe the bug
The time shown on the passes web page shows 1 hour ahead of the pass listed in the output of the command 'atq' I have tried modifying the the timezone when running the install script but it has no effect.

Allow bias-tee config on initial setup or another config file

Hi! Another fellow Argentinean here. I'm using this code, which works pretty well, but I had to modify it in order to use the bias tee, since I have the SAWbird+ NOAA which requires it to work. I know the change is pretty much straightforward on the receive.sh script, but maybe that could be an option to be asked on install-time.
Even a simple parameter on the ~/.noaa.conf could be used to determine this.
An appropriate bias-tee enabler argument is: -T (or at least, that worked for me)

Good images cropped to narrow band

Not sure if this is a feature or an issue. Or I'm more so looking for a bit of info/advice.
I've made a pretty janky indoor dipole antenna with some 1.5mm2 copper cable, also added an amplifier. Was previously using the amp for an ADS-B setup, just changed the antenna.
Not tuned in any way, antenna length is about right.

Most passes result in some signal, but generally poor.
Occasionally there's a pass which is very good, but the output image is cropped to what looks like the good section, rather than the full length of the pass/recording.

Is this supposed to happen to remove any noise across the "bad" area?
Unsurprisingly the good area has my location near enough centered.

Eg....

Great to see the setup works, but would be interested to see the full pass on "good" receive.

Working check

How can I check that everything it's ok after ./install.sh?

I would like to understand if my antenna receives and if the software starts when there are passages.
Thanks :D

Not an issue: Twitter Develepor account rejected

First I would like to thank you for your creation, you really helped in making amateur satellites become much more accessible and convenient.

now on to my problem, I applied for a Twitter Developer account but I was rejected, don't know why. Is there an alternative way to automatically tweet my images? I don't know where else to ask, and since other people might face this problem it might be helpful to find an alternative to Tweepy.

[Error] levels: bad array subscript

Describe the bug

see this error in mail logs:
INFO : Starting rtl_fm record
/home/pi/raspberry-noaa/common.sh: line 17: levels: bad array subscript

the code in common.sh is:
#check if level exists
[[ ${levels[$log_priority]} ]] || return 1

Haven't checked anywhere but I'm not seeing log_priority set anywhere that calls common.sh.... any ideas?

Request: add watermark to images

It would be cool if there was an option to add a text string watermark to the generated images.

Thanks for this cool project! :o)

pass wrong

the times do not coincide with the satellite flights over my location

/home/pi/raspberry-noaa/schedule.sh or atq
example:

1st flight is
NOAA19 20201017-210158 64
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
job 65 at Sat Oct 17 21:01:00 2020

im using orbirton (win)to compare flights, and the times do not match
in windows wxt (satelite pass list) is correct and work, on rasp is confused. !!? and wrong times!!?
not only are the hours wrong but the minutes are also missed..

.wxtoimgrc latitute/longitude are correct
on predict are same numbers as in .wxtoimgrc

Test bias_tee for RTL-SDR V3

During installations, it should be helpfull to have a command for testing the bias_tee, because before the program used the bias_tee, it is a log time waiting. Mostly to the next day.

[Error] Rtl caught signal ... no reception

Describe the bug

Ok I thought I was good. I was receiving NOAA images, Meteor images (albeit very choppy), some kind of ISS wav files (though not decoding to anything sensible, probably no SSTV project on right now).

Did a reboot for unrelated reason (have an ambient weather station also connected, it’s been running in parallel for the entire time, no issues with the 2)

And voila: no images.

Just see this in mail now:

Any thoughts on how to debug this?

predict not bug but hmm..

im not sure if it's a bug, but I have doubts.

if I compare satellite overflight with orbicon (on win10)and with atq, from this project. some overflights are accurate, and some overflights are simply missing, from the same satellite. at first I thought the problem was that it was too far away, but the overflight was done right above my location. so I guess something with "predict" is not good!?
as far as i can see, the data is downloaded from the same txt file server. but just fly over some missing.

next problem, can it be adjusted that some images if the satellite flies in the opposite direction are not "upside-down"? "mirror". i know that this software should work alone to have an algorithm if the satellite is flying in the opposite direction. are there any additional settings for this?
it is difficult to determine if they are all clouds then it is not known what is up and what is down.

i know that the images are black and white from noaa, is it possible with WXToIMG to somehow raise it to draw a grid of states and add artificial color like on a "win" system?

the meteor is sometimes a good image sometimes nothing or dashed (but the color hi-res appears and that's okay)

I apologize for the questions and doubts, I'm just wondering if something else can be set manually, I watched the scripts but I'm a total beginner..

Everytime I get this error

/home/pi/.noaa.conf: regel 9: 52.70333: opdracht niet gevonden. I See the number is the longtitude, but how is that possible ?

zero length images?

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

After install and changing permissions on /var/www/wx... to allow the directories to be created, everything was running smoothly for 2 days.

Then I noticed I was getting zero length image files created.

freed up space last night, and 3 good images were created, then this morning's passes: back to zero length images.

Need to find out where/why an error is happening.

Need info on how to turn on debugging and wondered about intermediate files etc. Also where the output from crons is going (but I think the debug part is first, as I could run this by hand I suppose)

I had stored some wav files and commented the rm *.wav (not exact line but you know which one) to
save and use the audio in another decoder, but I since added the comment back, and deleted
all the extraneous wav files from previous passes (which weren't too many but just to be sure).

Cant receive picture from noaa satellite issues.

Doubt about sun.py timezone

Hey Nico, here I am (again) trying to always make better my station - in sun.py I've found wrong timezone "-2" while I'm in "+2": do I have to manually put "2" or "+2"? Maybe this is the reason of the last days bad receptions and cutted images.

No capture

Hi and thanks for this script!
This morning I try to receive METEOR, but despite it having passed over my head, I don't know if the software has started receiving. Yesterday everything worked, not this morning. The only image produced is from NOAA, but only a small piece.

Checking with ORBITRON, I don't find myself with the dates and times.
Latitude and longitude is correct.

If I start "predict", only the page opens to configure latitude and longitude and the menu for the other functions does not appear.

Is it a bug?

This is the NOAA image cutted

And this is the problem with predict

I just see this screen:

[Error] Multiple errors

Hi @reynico, I did a git checkout -- sun.py and git checkout -- receive.sh last night then git pull, and I noticed these errors in mail:

Meteor M2 LRPT Images Not Getting Decoded

I had an issue of Meteor M2 not getting decoded. It seems that PLL never locks onto the signal. I thought I was receiving it on the wrong frequency so I tried both 137.1 MHz and 137.9 MHz with no success. Here's what I get when I read /var/mail/pi:

how can I check if the SDR is up 'n runing?

First: an absolute cool project - congrat's !!!
I've set up the hardware (PI4 2GB) with an Nooelec SDR . fresh rasbian, activated VNC. device seems to work in my WIFI
enwironment, Twitter API tokens set - so good so fine. But how can I check online, if and how the RX is working while
a NOAA is actually passing over me? Sorry I'm generation "windows", just making my first steps on penguin island...

Idea: Receiving of ISS

It seems that this time only WAV-Files from ISS catched.
What about the APRS-Downlink on 145.825? Data handling may be possible with multimon-NG and pymultimonaprs to feed the APRS-Network.

Cant receive any picture from sdr.

Hello everyone,sorry for my bad english. Im just wondering why i cant receive any picture from sdr. Currently i lived in Malaysia. I think most likely i configured the predict program wrongly. and i think i have a wrong position for the satellite.

May i know what causes this problem? Thanks alot !!

Cant receive picture from sdr/

No reception of Meteor

I have a problem receiving Meteor data. NOAA works great, but I don’t get any data from the Meteor satellite, even though the software shows me the time and elevation of its arrival.
I used the install script. Is there something else I have to do to have it recorded and automatically decoded?

Date incorrect

Some passes flips the image upside down

Hello Nico! Project work great 4 days now! Some passes (50%) from NOOA are South to North and others are North to South so the image produced is flipped! How can we fix this automatically?

PPM correction for SDR @55 default

I've seen in receive.sh that the line inherent rtl_fm execution has the option for ppm calibration set to 55 - can I ask why? My SDR v3 I've found in the past by using sdr# etc. has a drift correction value of 7, for example. Can't remember, maybe the -p value for rtl_fm has to be changed in other files too ( if it has to be done)?

Directories Errors

Hello!
After the run of autoinstall, there are some issues with directories.
For example: audio directory doesn't exist and METEOR image are saved into NOAA and inside METEOR there aren't anything.

I hope I can help you with this report :)

/var/www/wx/images/ permission denied error

I wasn't getting any images produced after a pass, when I investigated the logs I found a permission denied error in the log.

If I cd to /var/www/wx/images/ and run touch test.txt I got a permission denied. If I went up a directory I could create a file just fine.

I then ran the commands to change the permissions on the folders, I'm sure there is a better way to do this. I can now create files in the directories. I don't have another satalite pass until 1930 tonight, I will check then to see if it is resolved.

sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/wx/audio/
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/wx/images/

Nginx webserver - Audiotab "Error 404"

Hi! I just set up my Raspberry Pi 2B+ with the Nooelec neSDR SMARTV4. I already recorded 4 NOAA passes and I am able to view the created pictures on the webserver. I noticed a lot of noise, which surprised me since I got way better images when manually recording a pass with SDR#. Thats why I wanted to listen to the corresponding .wav file. However, I am not able to access the "Audio" tab on the webserver. It just says "404 Not Found". What do I have to do to get this tab working or where can I find the .wav files when using SFTP?

Thanks in advance,
sam

Install Script

First I would like to say this is a wonderful script and setup. Thank you for putting so much time into building this for everyone to use. If i may, I would like to make a couple of suggestion that i noticed while using you script a couple of time for installs.

If possible could you add libjpeg9 libjpeg9-dev to the packages section of the installer. Python pip would not install pillow with out them installed.

---

Also for the predict setup. I noticed on a new install like mine you only check for the predict.qth file and if it does not exist it tries to copy it to the .predict folder which also does not exist. This folder only exists if you run the predict program once.

My suggestion would be to add the following to your predict config section:

if [ -d "$HOME/.predict" ] && [ -e "$HOME/.predict/predict.qth" ]; then
    log_done "$HOME/.predict/predict.qth already exists"
else
    mkdir "$HOME/.predict"
    cp "templates/predict.qth" "$HOME/.predict/predict.qth"
    log_done "$HOME/.predict/predict.qth installed"
fi

---

Also the same for the cronjob section. The file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/pi only exists if you have ran crontab -e prior to your install script.

My suggestion would be to run it for them and have them copy and paste your cronjob into it. This way it enables the scheduler. outside of that you would have to run as root and copy over a cronjob template to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/pi

---

One last suggestion would be to run wxtoimg at the end of your install script and have the user accept the licensing agreement for wxtoimg. Because if they do not accept it will the program will not do anything until it have been accepted.

Gain Set

How can I edit the gain?

Thanks

Enchancements-Passes

South-east europe the sun.py gives always the same enchancements. Some passes has too less capture time.

Using the software with a Nooelec Sawbird Noaa

I am very happy with the software and receive Noaa pictures well without a Sawbird. But I try tu use a Nooelec Sawbird Noaa and the I get no pictures. Only grey noise. I have tried different gain settings, with no results. What am I doing wrong ?

error in longtitude

I get this error. Could you explain what that means.

How to change web panel language?

Hi @reynico ,

I just did a clean OS install and downloaded Raspberry-NOAA. I really love what you did there!

Is there a way to change the language of the tabs?

Also in the passes tab it seems to show me a different time zone, for example atq shows me this:

2	Wed Nov 11 21:43:00 2020 a pi
1	Wed Nov 11 19:03:00 2020 a pi
3	Wed Nov 11 18:26:00 2020 a pi

but the passes tab shows me this:

Thanks again for the great work!

how install new release please ?

GE
i would like test new release but i dont understand how install..can you add one little info . Thank in advance

Bad image quality / Enable AGC

Hi, I am using the Raspberry Pi 4 2Gb with a Nooelec neSDR SMARTEE and a Nooelec NOAA Sawbird filter. I am struggeling to get a good image. With the Pi 2B+ and the "normal" neSDR SMART the images were great. I guess it has to do something with the gain. I tried everything from 10dBm to 50dBm in the receive.sh file. Do you know why that is? Maybe Automatic gain control would help, but how do I enable it?

Many thanks,
Sam

Time zone

Hi!

Absolutely great work on this! I've just set it up but i'm a little confused about time zone config, is it enough if I set just my city?

Thanks for the great work!
