|
|
HOWTO set up and configure a \gls{SatNOGS-Optical} \gls{ground-station}.
|
|
|
|
Setup an embedded computer, such as an Odroid N2, with \gls{Debian} stable
|
|
(11/Bullseye) or testing (Bookworm).
|
|
\index{computer}\index{Odroid}\index{Debian}
|
|
|
|
See each repository for latest documentation.
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies from \gls{Debian} repository:
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install python3-virtualenv python3-pip python3-dev \
|
|
source-extractor astrometry.net \
|
|
libeigen3-dev giza-dev libx11-dev \
|
|
astrometry-data-tycho2 astrometry-data-tycho2-07 \
|
|
astrometry-data-tycho2-08 astrometry-data-tycho2-09 \
|
|
astrometry-data-tycho2-10-19
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
|
|
Next, install the \texttt{\gls{hough3d-code}} dependency.
|
|
\index{hough3d}
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
git clone https://gitlab.com/pierros/hough3d-code
|
|
cd hough3d-code
|
|
make all
|
|
sudo cp -p hough3dlines /usr/local/bin/hough3dlines
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
|
|
Install \texttt{\gls{satpredict}} from using either the cbassa or spacecruft repo.
|
|
\index{satpredict}
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
cd ../
|
|
git clone https://spacecruft.org/spacecruft/satpredict
|
|
# Or
|
|
#git clone https://github.com/cbassa/satpredict
|
|
cd satpredict/
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
|
|
Now install \texttt{stvid}, the main acquisition and processing
|
|
application. It is written in Python. Either use the spacecruft
|
|
\texttt{git} repository or the cbassa one.
|
|
\index{stvid}
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
cd ../
|
|
git clone https://spacecruft.org/spacecruft/stvid
|
|
# Or use upstream:
|
|
#git clone https://github.com/cbassa/stvid
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
|
|
Optionally, set up a Python virtual environment:
|
|
\index{Python}
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
cd stvid
|
|
virtualenv -p python3 env
|
|
source env/bin/activate
|
|
pip install --upgrade pip
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies. Numpy needs to be installed first, or the
|
|
install fails.
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
pip install --upgrade numpy
|
|
pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
\index{numpy}
|
|
|
|
If the system \texttt{python3-numpy} conflicts, you could try installing
|
|
numpy in the virtualenv thusly:
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
pip install --upgrade --ignore-installed numpy
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
|
|
\gls{Debian} in bug \texttt{\#941466} changed the name of the
|
|
\texttt{sextractor} dependency to \texttt{source-extractor},
|
|
so a symlink is needed for now:
|
|
\index{Debian}
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/source-extractor /usr/local/bin/sextractor
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
|
|
\section{Configure}
|
|
Configure the embedded computer.
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
cd stvid/
|
|
cp -p configuration.ini-dist configuration.ini
|
|
# Edit
|
|
# Note for fields st-username and st-password, *don't* use quotes.
|
|
# Set:
|
|
vi configuration.ini
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
\index{stvid}\index{configuration.ini}
|
|
|
|
Edit various \texttt{configuration.ini} fields:
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
# For example:
|
|
observer_cospar = 9999 # COSPAR number of observer's site
|
|
observer_name = Jeff Moe # Name of observer
|
|
observer_lat = 40.568912 # Latitude of location in decimal degrees
|
|
observer_lon = -105.225852 # Longitude of location in decimal degrees
|
|
observer_height = 1860 # Elevation of location in meters
|
|
|
|
observations_path = ./data/obs # Path for raw acquisitions
|
|
tle_path = ./data/tle # Path where TLEs are stored (and updated)
|
|
results_path = ./data/results # Path for results of processed obs
|
|
|
|
st-username = foo
|
|
st-password = bar
|
|
|
|
# Path to source-extractor
|
|
sex_config = /usr/share/source-extractor/default.sex
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
|
|
Store downloads here:
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
mkdir -p ./data/obs ./data/tle ./data/results
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
|
|
The \texttt{ST\_DATADIR} variable is still used, from \texttt{sattools}.
|
|
Maybe set all these in \texttt{\~/.bashrc} (suit to fit directory setup):
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
export ST_DATADIR=$HOME/sattools
|
|
export ST_TLEDIR=$HOME/TLE
|
|
export ST_OBSDIR=$HOME/satobs
|
|
export ST_LOGIN="identity=foo@no:pass"
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
\index{sattools}
|
|
|
|
Set \texttt{astrometry.net} to run in parallel, assuming you have enough RAM:
|
|
(This doesn't appear to work? Breaks?).
|
|
\index{astrometry}
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{sh}
|
|
sudo vim /etc/astrometry.cfg
|
|
# Uncomment:
|
|
inparallel
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
|
