waterfall2png
waterfall2png will take a satellite recording, such as from the Libre Space Foundation's SatNOG network, and convert it into a PNG.
This script is just a few lines added to upstream's satnogs-client
waterfall.py
to make it easier for command line processing.
Use
If you don't already have satnogs-client installed, install Python dependencies to your taste, such as:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip install --user matplotlib numpy
Change these two lines to your input data and output PNG:
# Change this to your input file name
datafile_path='receiving_waterfall_.dat'
# This is the output PNG filename:
figure_path='waterfall.png'
Then run:
./waterfall2png
