auto_rx v1.8.1 Released -

[Mark Jessop]

Hi all,

I've just released auto_rx v1.8.1:

(From the Github releases page: https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/releases/tag/v1.8.1)

Important: We recommend all users update to this version to ensure the latest Vaisala RS41 telemetry formats can be received.

This release brings the following major changes:

• RS41: Support for the new 'multi-GNSS' telemetry format that has been observed on very new RS41 models (X-prefix). We highly recommend everyone update to 1.8.1 to ensure these newer RS41s are received correctly. Thanks to @rs1729 for quickly adding support for this new format!
  • This new telemetry format has only been seen on 'X' prefix RS41s (RSM425 PCB, 02.07.01 software version), but note that it is only used if a Vaisala MW51 ground station is used. We may see X-prefix RS41s not using this new telemetry format.
• M20: Updates to decoder to support some rarer serial number formats.
• Scanning & Detection: Detection bandwidth narrowed to 15 kHz to better handle adjacent-channel interference.
• RS41: Narrow frequency estimator bandwidth to +/- 5 kHz, and use a 4800 Hz mask estimator for improved decode performance.
• DFM: Narrow frequency estimator bandwidth to +/- 5 kHz for improved decode performance.
• SDR Handling general: Increase SDR 'test' timeout to 20 seconds, to work around some slowness with spyserver and ka9q-radio testing scripts.
• ka9q-radio: Updates and fixes to ka9q-radio support. Users will need to update to the latest recommended ka9q-radio commit, as described here, otherwise decoding will not work.
• Docker builds: Various fixes and improvements to docker builds (qemu issues, arm64 runners) - Thanks @snh !
• Web Interface: Various tweaks and improvements to the web interface layout - Thanks @ke5gdb and @argilo !

The pre-built Docker Image is now the recommended way to setup radiosonde_auto_rx on a new station. Using Docker avoids issues with updates to dependencies, and allows for fixes relating to system packages to be easily pushed out to users.

Please report any problems encountered either on the mailing list, or by raising an issue on this repository. We also now have a Discord server: https://sondehub.org/go/discord

We've had reports that the recommended ka9q-radio commit would not build correctly on Raspbian/Debian Bullseye.

This has now been fixed in the ka9q-radio repository, so the recommended ka9q-radio commit is now: 4025a34db6e88dce87b8f67c7eb9cc339b920261

This does not affect stations running Raspbian/Debian Bookworm.

Mark.
I'm new to radiosonde, but would like to know, if the github software go onto the lillygo lora 32 units ?
And if so, what doco is there for loading the lillygo.

Cheers

Hi, you are probably getting auto_rx confused with rdz_ttgo_sonde. 

Auto_rx runs on a Linux system, rdz_ttgo_sonde runs on ESP32 microcontrollers like on the TTGO boards.

Cheers,
