[amsat-bb] rasbarry pi

[Paul Stoetzer]

I answered you when you asked this on January 29th, but will provide more
detail as to why this isn't possible without quite a bit of effort.

The Raspberry Pi uses an ARM-based processor, generally running some
distribution of Linux. SatPC32 is written for computers using x86-based
processors running Windows. There is a possibility you could get it
running, slowly, with a lot of effort through use of x86 emulation and the
Wine compatibility layer, but it would require quite a bit of rather
advanced work.

Gpredict is the software you want to use for satellite tracking and it
works great on the Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately it's not in the Raspbian
repository, so it does require some work to get it installed. Without
knowing what operating system or what version of the Raspberry Pi you are
using, I can't direct you to the proper guide.
