Launch : XABEN5/6 Sun 24/05/09 12:00BST EARS
James Coxon
Steve (G8KHW) is planning to launch a double payload (434.075MHz and
434.650MHz) this Sunday from EARS - it will be a great opportunity to
test out the DL system especially the new client (dl-fldigi). Binaries
of the new client should be available tomorrow, its is relatively
untested so might need some adaptation, you can either go for binaries
or compile it from source and it should work on mac, linux and
windows. I'll be on #highaltitude tomorrow so if you wat help setting
it up so please get in touch.
The client can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/dl-fldigi/ , at
present you'll need to compile from source with one small change to
the makefile after running configure on your machine.
A quick guide:
1) Grab the source: svn checkout
http://dl-fldigi.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dl-fldigi
2) cd dl-fldigi
3) ./configure
3a) install any missing libs (you are going to probably need
portaudio, libsndfile, libsamplerate)
4) install libcurl
5) edit the makefile in src/ , line 412 on my machine need to swap
-L/opt/local/lib -lsamplerate for -L/opt/local/lib -lsamplerate -lcurl
6) make
7) make install
8) run fldigi, remember to enter your details in the operator tab of
config and also select a payload to track in the DL tab of the config
9) tune into the signal and it'll start uploading.
It might be easier to wait for the binaries :-D
