Ops-Groundstation-Software

Software for RPi-based ground station using RFM98/95W radio modules.

This code is primarily written in Python with development files in C and CircuitPython.

To setup dependancies on a Raspberry Pi...

1. sudo bash requirements.sh

To run the code...

1. cd src/
2. python3 LoRa_GS.py

src contains the files used for operating the GS. Other directories in the repo are:

1. PY4_gs - All source code from the original PY4 ground station. Code has been slightly modified to accommodate the Argus-1 ground station hardware. Original repo is here -> https://github.com/maholli/PY4_gs
2. Pi-C - Experimental ground station code written in C. We recommend using this as a starting point if the Flight Software code switches from CircuitPython to C.
3. Python - Various Python and CircuitPython test files. Definitely not perfect.
4. REFERENCE - Various documentation we used as the basis for our implementation, messaging protocol, and data handling.
5. SQL - Original SQL database we tried to use, but did not implement in our final code. Maybe worth trying it again in the future.

Have fun!
