OpenGD77

There is a new version of the CPS available for download, which adds the new AMSAT satellite FO118 to the list of usable satellites

downloads/CPS/Latest

Thanks to John N1ID for supplying the data on this satellite

Please check the AMSAT website for the hours of operation of this satellite, becasue I think it is not operational 24/7

thank you

Thank you
Ciao Roger

Are there any other changes in the CPS?

is the same as

54684U,FO118,435600000,145925000,670,0


And F0118 was added in this release

AFIK the other 2 satellites in your extra list

45857U,BY70-2,145920000,436200000,0,0
44881U,CAS-6,145925000,435280000,0,0

Do not have FM transponders, and athough you could perhaps use the GD77 to listen to beacons from these satellites, AFIK you can't use them for communcations, and as the firmware does not support decoding packet data transmissions, only satellites with FM transponders are included in the list, otherwise people will send complaints to me that they can't communicate via these satellites

People assume that if the satellite is listed in the firmware, they can use it for communcation, e.g. we don't list any weather satellites either

Hello,

many thanks to all who have worked on that perfect firmware. One question regarding the CPS and RT3S. The RT3S has a display of 160x128 BMP resolution with 256 colors (8bit). Would it be possible to load such boot image as PNG-file in an adapted CPS?

Best regards
Ingo DF1OG

Sorry, of course not a PNG-File. My mistake. A 160x128 BMP with 256 colors.
Ingo

Updated CPS all ok, Thanks.
