Hello,

I am writing to you on behalf of a Czech project Dotkni Se Vesmíru ("Touch The Universe").

Same as last year, the plan is to launch HAB trackers built by students from all over the Czech Republic, which they would then be able to track over HabHub. Most of the participants have finished their trackers and constructed the payloads by now.

As we have recently become aware, HabHub would shut down exactly as the first trackers would take flight. The launches are set to start on October 3 and should finish in mid October. All the teams have familiarized themselves (and are dependent on) habdec, which currently only supports uploading telemetry to HabHub. Furthermore, many HAMs who usually help out with tracking during flight (which allows the school teams to quickly travel to the predicted landing sites) would be unable to do so this year.

Therefore, we would like to ask you to postpone the planned shutdown until mid October, if at all possible. This would greatly increase the teams' chances of recovering their trackers, including footage from the on-board cameras.

Please let me know if there is anything we could do to help you maintain the server for a while longer.

Sincerely,

Ondřej Kučera,

It is likely that Habhub will continue operating partly into October.

However, I would suggest contacting the habdec developer and letting them know that it's time to add support for SondeHub-Amateur. 

Alternatively, Horus-GUI is able to decode and upload RTTY telemetry to Sondehub-Amateur right now: https://github.com/projecthorus/horusdemodlib/wiki/1.1-Horus-GUI-Reception-Guide-(Windows-Linux-OSX)

And another alternative; HABDEC can be made to emit telemetry as UDP packets which can then be collected by HAB Base and uploaded to sondehub/amateur.

Hi

I know this all and proper sondehub update is on my todo list. Just need to find time.

If someone could show me example URL to upload to sondehub, I can hack a bash/python script quickly (what Dave is mentioning).

This will be least painfull for all for now.

habdec has been updated with sondehub integration. It requires C++17 compiler now.
