OreSat GPS Software

Software for Linux version of the GPS card.

Like all OreSat software projects it is built using OLAF (OreSat Linux App Framework), which it built ontop of CANopen for Python. See the oresat-olaf repo for more info about OLAF.

Quickstart

Install dependenies

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Make a virtual CAN bus

$ sudo ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan
$ sudo ip link set vcan0 up

Run the GPS app

$ python3 -m oresat_gps

Can select the CAN bus to use (vcan0, can0, etc) with the -b BUS arg.

Can mock hardware by using the -m HARDWARE flag.

• The-m all flag can be used to mock all hardware (CAN bus is always required).
• The -m skytraq flag would only mock the skytraq

See other options with -h flag.

A basic Flask-based website for development and integration can be found at http://localhost:8000 when the software is running.
