[amsat-bb] HO-107

Sun May 24 14:42:33 UTC 2020

Hello Jerry,

I'm going to copy the -BB on this reply since "my spider senses" tell me
the question may occur to others!

The "live" telemetry is displayed here.
http://www.amsat.org/tlm/health.php?id=6&port=

If you click on a sensor value, it will show a graph of something like the
last 100 values.
You can also use this page to see telemetry from the whole Fox family.
Scroll to the bottom/right of the page for links to the software, etc.
https://www.amsat.org/tlm/leaderboard.php?id=0&db=FOXDB

Now, if you really want to look at some data--you can download FoxTLM and
do a full download of all the data for any of the "Fox and friends" family,
which includes AO-85, -91, -92, -95, and HO-107.  It's what we'll be using
for Fox-1E when it's launched, and any of the other future partner payloads
that AMSAT hopes will host the linear transponder (LTM).    Tons of
graphing and viewing options....most of us it take a while to get a feel
for all the features in the program, but Chris AC2CZ (and team) has done an
amazing job with the program and the documentation.  A very versatile
program.  It's what we use to collect live telemetry feed to AMSAT servers
as well.

Give it a shot and see how you make out!  WARNING--It may be habit forming!
I started collecting telemetry back with FO-12, And Oscars
16/17/18/19/20/22/23... AO-40...and the list goes on.   If you use any of
scoreboard links above, you'll see I've spent a good portion of my hobby
time collecting telemetry...while I certainly enjoy a voice QSO, I've
always enjoyed the challenge of getting an automated system up and running
and collecting telemetry for whomever needed it.

If fact, we just set up a fully automated station at the university where I
work.  My wife and I donated all the equipment, and we hope to inspire the
new engineering students in the school I started 4 years ago.  The crazy
pandemic was a mixed blessing---few people around so we could get on the
roof (with some co-worker hams) to install it, but there were no students
around to watch, help, or learn!  That will come this fall, I hope.

73,
Mark N8MH
