v1.3.2.4

a2153e1

Beta v1.3.2.4 Pre-release

Pre-release

This is a Beta release of the CubeSatSim code for the Beta v1.3.2 PCB boards, although it will also run on the v1.2 boards as well.

To see the full list of changes from v1.2 to this Beta v1.3 version, see https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/releases/tag/v1.3.2

Here is the info on these boards: https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/tree/beta/hardware/beta-v1.3.2 The wiki instructions for these boards are here: https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/wiki/v1.3.2-0.-Home The Bill of Materials is here: https://CubeSatSim.org/bom-beta The Pico code from stempayload/Payload_BME280_MPU6050_XS code is compiled using the Arduino software. Information about how to extend the STEM Payload software with additional sensors is here: https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/wiki/V1.3.2-Adding-New-Sensors-to-STEM-Payload-Board

To use the release Source Code zip file below, follow these steps after downloading the file (or wget https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/archive/refs/tags/v1.3.2.4.zip)

cd
unzip v1.3.2.4.zip
mv CubeSatSim-1.3.2.4 CubeSatSim
cd CubeSatSim
./install
./update

Alternatively, you can do these commands to update an existing version with git:

cd
cd CubeSatSim
git pull --no-rebase
git checkout beta
./update

If you are asked if you want to reboot, answer 'y' for yes. If you aren't asked, you should reboot anyway by typing:

sudo reboot now

You can also download this disk image: http://cubesatsim.org/download/cubesatsim-v1.3.2.4.iso.zip

For the Raspberry Pi Pico on the STEM Payload board, there are no updates with this release, so the binary UF2 file Payload_BME280_MPU6050_XS.v1.3.2.3.rpipicow.uf2 is included with this release (https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/releases/download/v1.3.2.3/Payload_BME280_MPU6050_XS.v.1.3.2.3.rpipicow.uf2) and should work with a Pico or Pico W board. NOTE: the previous STEM Payload release v1.3.2.2 will work since the updates are minor. To install it, follow these steps:

Plug your Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W into your computer using the micro USB port while holding down the BOOTSEL button (white button on the Pico). It should mount as a drive RPI-RP2.
Drag the .UF2 file from this release to the Pico flash drive
You can monitor the serial output using Arduino or a terminal emulator such as PUTTY to see the log files or make configuration changes.

This code transmits on the usual 434.9 MHz frequency and the receiver command frequency is 435.0 MHz.

New to this version:

Besides Carrier (squelch) Radio Command and Control, new DTMF and APRS command and control mode using direwolf. The C&C mode is set by the CubeSatSim/config -d setting
Direwolf command and control uses the SR105U FM Transceiver module and a USB sound card plugged into the Pi Zero. If no sound card is detected, an RTL-SDR USB dongle plugged into the Pi Zero can be used. There is a new Command and Control log that can be inspected with the CubeSatSim/log -c command
The details and new hardware needed for DTMF and APRS command and control are listed in the wiki here https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/wiki/Command-and-Control
Mode changes are faster, with software restart instead of reboot except when changing from FSK or BPSK to APRS, SSTV, or CW mode
New Transmit Command mode set by CubeSatSim/config -n setting. In this mode, no telemetry is sent and the green and blue LEDs are not illuminated. Mode changes by Pi Zero command, pushbutton, or Radio Command and Control don't change the mode. Instead, they result in a DTMF or APRS command and control message being transmitted. DTMF or APRS is set by the CubeSatSim/config -D setting. To exit Transmit Command mode, use the CubeSatSim/config -n setting to switch back to FSK mode.
Private Line (PL) CTCSS/CDCSS tones for FM modes can be set for transmit and receive using the CubeSatSim/config -P setting
Transmit Beacon On/Off is set by CubeSatSim/config -o setting and by Radio Command and Control. When off, no telemetry is transmitted.
New Repeater Mode is set by CubeSatSim/config -e setting. In this mode, no telemetry is sent or Radio Command and Control. The green and blue LEDs are off. If the squelch is broken on the FM receiver on the receive frequency, the received signal is repeated as FM on the transmit frequency. The blue LED is illuminated while the squelch is broken, and the green LED illuminates momentarily. After one second of no squelch, the transmission stops.
USB sound card microphone level can be set with the CubeSatSim/config -L setting in % from 0 to 100
Improvements to support for Pi Zero 2 and updated rpitx and WiringPi libraries
Pushbutton shutdown now works correctly
CW ID is only transmitted on boot, not on mode changes
Squelch level is now implemented correctly
New Payload code for the Pico that supports Adafruit IO web dashboards using a WiFi connection. See Payload_BME280_MPU6050_AIO.ino

This code transmits on the usual 434.9 MHz frequency and the receiver command frequency is 435.0 MHz.

New to this version:

Bug fix so a callsign entered using the CubeSatSim/config -c command is used instead of the default AMSAT.
Changes to the automatic setting of simulated telemetry mode (sim_mode). Will not auto set sim_mode if battery voltage and current sensor is present (i.e. Battery Board is plugged in)
Pico code now has calibration to the diode temperature sensor on the STEM Payload board. You can use a USB cable plugged into the Pico and the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor to over write the default temperature calibration. By typing a C, a calibration data point is stored in the EEPROM memory. Doing this twice at two different temperatures gives a good linear calibration that is saved across power cycles. Typing a D displays the current calibration data and the raw temperature reading. In addition, gyro calibration is also stored in the EEPROM. To get this code, update your Pico code using the UF2 file.
Fixed a bug where the STEM Payload status in FoxTelem was always showing as OK. Now shows as FAIL when no sensor data is received by the Pi Zero from the Pico
Minor hardware updates to the PCB files.

For the Raspberry Pi Pico on the STEM Payload board, the binary UF2 file Payload_BME280_MPU6050_XS.v1.3.2.2.rpipicow.uf2 is included with this release (https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/releases/download/v1.3.2.2/Payload_BME280_MPU6050_XS.v1.3.2.2.rpipicow.uf2) and should work with a Pico or Pico W board. NOTE: the previous STEM Payload release v1.3.2 will work since the updates are minor. To install it, follow these steps:

This code transmits on the usual 434.9 MHz frequency and the receiver command frequency is 435.0 MHz.

New to this version:

RF command and control is much improved. In all modes, transmitting just after the blue LED goes out will result in a mode change. APRS mode checks every second, CW mode checks 6 times during a frame - about every 10 seconds.
Pushbutton can be used to turn command and control on or off by holding in until the green LED blinks slowly then even more slowly. Pi command config -T also turns command and control off.
Fixed some major bugs in CW mode - previous version was transmitting one frame then stopping
"Battery saver mode" is renamed "Safe Mode (battery saver mode)" and is synchronized with the Safe Mode indication in FoxTelem.
Pi command config -B manually sets Safe Mode, but doesn't reboot unless the mode is actually changed. Running config with an unknown option gives an error message
STEM Payload temperature reading is displayed in FoxTelem. First extension sensor reading is also displayed in FoxTelem.
Fixed bug in Pico STEM Payload code that made the blue and green LEDs not work. Now, the blue one turns on for any g-force and green turns on for any rotation
Minor hardware updates

Battery voltage and current and payload sensor data written to telem.txt in all modes. Clearing logs moves old telem.txt file to and clears telem.txt
Flush serial data from payload sensors before a read to avoid buffered data being sent
CW ID is sent using rpitx instead of FM transceiver to avoid startup issues
Bug in CW mode where only one frame is sent is fixed

For the Raspberry Pi Pico on the STEM Payload board, the binary UF2 file payload_pico.ino.rpipicow.v1.3.2.uf2 is included with this release and should work with a Pico or Pico W board. NOTE: the previous STEM Payload release v1.3.1 will work since the updates are minor. To install it, follow these steps:

This code transmits on the usual 434.9 MHz frequency and the receiver command frequency is 435.0 MHz.

New to this version:

Support for the new FM transceiver board for APRS, SSTV, and CW modes. The hardware is automatically detected and the rpitx transmitter used if not present, just like the v1.2 software.
Simple command and control receiver based on a carrier detected at the default 435 MHz increments the mode and reboots the CubeSatSim as if the pushbutton was used. The green power LED blinks the number of times of the new mode when the command is received. Receiver squelch can be set using the CubeSatSim/config -q command. Squelch setting of 8 turns off command and control receiver.
The transmit and receive frequency can be set using the CubeSatSim/config -F command. They are entered in the form 4XX.XXXX in the range 420-450 MHz. Changes frequency for both FM transceiver and rpitx transmitter.
Battery saver mode switches from the FM transmitter to rpitx when the battery voltage is low. Set using the CubeSatSim/config -B command. Battery saver mode is automatically turned off when the battery is charged, after a reboot.
New Balloon mode. In all modes, no auto Battery saver mode or auto shutdown on low voltage. In APRS mode, Balloon icon instead of satellite icon. Set using the CubeSatSim/config -H command
Additional CubeSatSim/config commands including an I2C scan, resetting command count, and clearing logs.
New v1.3.2 PCB hardware Gerbers, schematics, and other files https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/tree/beta/hardware/beta-v1.3.2
New frame STL files https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/tree/beta/hardware/frame/v1.3.2
Updated install script to install the beta software from scratch. Updated update script to update an older version of CubeSatSim software to the latest beta. You may need to run the update script twice and reboot.
Always reboots after each mode change, using push button or config command
New STEM Payload Arduino software for the Raspberry Pi Pico. Includes support for a serial GPS module and includes a Squelch troubleshooting indicating in the Serial Monitor for troubleshooting command and control issues. Pico is programmed using the UF2 file or can be compiled using the Arduino IDE
APRS lat/lon least significant digits randomized so packets are not considered duplicates by the APRS network. In APRS mode, after hihi, battery voltage and current are written the sensor data from STEM Payload
SSTV mode overlays CALLSIGN on Pi Camera images - not done on stored images. If battery telemetry is available, battery voltage and current also overlays on Pi Camera images.
Sensor data from STEM Payload board is written to a telemetry.txt file with timestamp
In FSK and BPSK mode, the command count is transmitted and displayed in FoxTelem
