Jim:
Try this: With Foxtelem running, try firing up your signal generator,
handheld, etc. to 145.98. With any luck you will see a nice peak in the
lower graph. If you vary the signal generator freq, the AFC will track it.
Proves that you can receive something. Awesome. What a piece of software.
Waiting for 2350Z to try the real thing.

Subject: [amsat-bb] fox tlm

As I read through the docs on the fox tlm program two things are not clear:

If I have a FunCube Dongle hooked to a USB port and antenna, do I need
to run any other software besides foxtelem.exe?
With the FCD on the USB port and the IQ box checked in foxtelem.exe what
should I see on the screen with no signal present? Noise, nothing?
How do I know, before the signal is there, if this is working and the
FCD is talking to foxtelem?

When I run the FCD software it can talk to the FCD dongle, set the freq,
etc. When I run foltelem there is no indication anything is talking to
anything else.

Joe,

Does this mean it's official - Fox-1A is now AO-85? Will
the status page be changed to show AO-85, if this is the
case?

Thanks in advance, and 73!

Hi,
I am hearing Fox-1 here in Wales -UK on the pass 2029 hrs Zulu -  Frequency
145.980 Mhz (FM).
The announcement " Fox One Speech Mode "  is very loud and  clear.
Congratulations to all involved in the success of the launch activation and

Hi Chris thanks for the feedback.

1) real machine.  I'm aware of the temp fix, and have a cable at home
for the 'HW' loopback method (though thats cheating when your trying to
build an SDR ground station :-))

2)  Working through using JACK and ALSA virtual devices, but like I said
I'm new to it.

3)  I'm using a .wav file sink in gnuradio.  But instead of actually
recording the audio and generate a true wav file (that could be imported
by foxtelem later) the 'file' it is writing to is a FIFO buffer (aka
pipe, created using the 'mkfifo' command).  FoxTelem is then reading a
wave file which is that same buffer.  The goal being as bits get written
into the FIFO from gnuradio, they get read out of the buffer by FoxTelem.

What it looks like is exactly what you said.  GNU radio is writing to
the 'file' or FIFO at a fixed 48k sample rate.  FoxTelem is probably
trying to 'load the entire file' and is not throttling the rate those
bits come in to match the 48k rate from gnuradio, thus resulting in
'EOF-type' errors and ultimately crashing.

I think the quickest path to gettng up and running is the virtual audio
cable piping method (for a pure SW solution).  Downside of this is the
loss of the ability to deliver the SNR and doppler metrics to the AMSAT
network.

So at some point I'll try to revisit the IQ pipe ideas (though plan A of
faking it with an 'IQ wav file' will result in similar crashes).

I'm not sure how FoxTelem handles interfacing with the funcube dongle or
'other SDRs.'  I think it would auto-populate the option to select the
funcube source if I actually had one plugged into my laptop and make use
of the drivers for accessing the IQ stream, rather than 'reading a whole
file'.  What would be cool is if FoxTelem had some kind of 'generic IQ
client mode' that could be selected.  The idea would be when you select
that option you enter in an IP and port #.  Then foxtelem could be
interfaced with things like the 'rtl_tcp' application for RTL-SDRs
running on RPis or beaglebones or to the TCP sinks in GNU Radio.

easy for me though to offer up ideas like that when I'm not the one that
has to code it up though :-).

Thanks again for the feedback.

-Zach, KJ4QLP

To FoxTelem users who loaded in a test wav file.  You should DELETE the
data before receiving live data.  The test data has a later reset/uptime,
so it will be displayed instead of the live data.

You can do this from the File menu->Delete Payload Files.

If you have already received some live data, and you are displaying
something with a reset later than 0, then you are seeing your test data and
not the live data.  Rather than delete your files and lose the locally
captured data, I suggest you edit the saved files and remove the test lines.

Only the files Fox1rttelemetry.log, Fox1maxtelemetry.log and
Fox1mintelemetry.log will contain the test data.  Each line starts with the
UTC date and then the FoxId, reset, uptime.  Remove any rows with reset 44
(or a reset greater than zero at this stage).

Sorry for the incomvience

Thanks I'll look into it, I'm falling down and ALSA/JACK rabbit hole at
the moment, and about to try to climb out and give pulseaudio a shot.

I appreciate all the feedback.

It is not "official" until we get the formal announcement from W3XO, but
he pre-allocated this number for us a few weeks ago so we can have URL's
etc in place immediately post launch.

Thanks Ed.
No luck.  It apparently does not connect to the FCD although there seems
to be no way to tell except perhaps for noise on the bottom screen.  It
is not hearing my mic input in audio mode either.
No more time to mess with it right now.

Daniel,
     Just wanted to let you know the pulseaudio/pavucontrol method
worked like a charm.  So I *think* I've got everything sorted here for
GNU Radio + FoxTelem for the 1948-ish Pass over Eastern US. Only
variation is I'm using a standard audio sink instead of null sink.

One day I'll try to sort the IQ stream method instead of audio, but i'll
shelve that one for now.

thanks a bunch!

Hmm.  Ed's technique worked for me, with my Funcube Dongle Pro+.

A little while ago my FoxTelem locked onto a local hitting our repeater
with an input on 146.010, just 30 kHz above the Fox1A downlink.

>> If I have a FunCube Dongle hooked to a USB port and antenna, do I need
>> to run any other software besides foxtelem.exe?
>> With the FCD on the USB port and the IQ box checked in foxtelem.exe what
>> should I see on the screen with no signal present?  Noise, nothing?
>> How do I know, before the signal is there, if this is working and the
>> FCD is talking to foxtelem?
>>
>> When I run the FCD software it can talk to the FCD dongle, set the freq,
>> etc.  When I run foltelem there is no indication anything is talking to
>> anything else.
