Great video. I’ve had my ground station running for a month. Quarter wave antenna in the loft, LillyGo board. Getting bored now due to lack of info about data usage of satellite data. Might try Meshtastic. 73s
Telegram is linked to your phone number, so it's hard to make a throw away, but I made sure I deleted the app after registering. I did however receive more than enough spam in that short time.
This was very helpful and interesting. Are there different versions of the boards? I searched amzon and I had overwhelming number os boards listed. Are there any criterias to use to choose a particular board?
They are usually launched by universities and research organizations. I have no idea what kind of data they collect, I just find it fascinating that I can actually hear RF from space.
Thanks for the video. I am planning to try out TinyGS as well but having difficulty to choose the right lora module. May I know which TTGO LoRa32 you used in this video? it is a V2 or V2.1?
@@LB0FI My mistake. I watch again your video and understand that you use T-Beam, not Lora32. there are two different product lines. T-Beam is more expensive as it come with GPS, and for Lora32, it is ESP32+Lora chipset, hence it is cheaper.

Meshtastic is on the list here, but I am going to try running it on 868mHz instead since the power restrictions are less there than on 433mHz.
@@LB0FI Good idea, I might try 868Mhz as there appears to be a Meshtastic community developing here in the UK on this frequency.
Hi thanks nice and clear it really helped.
Thanks Andreas! I try to be short and consise. at least when that's possible.
Cool project, except for the Telegram bit. Suppose you could use a throw away to register.

@@chhupparustom Thank you. I haven’t looked into this project for a while. I would think most 433MHz LoRa boards would work.
Morton, why were these satellites launched in the first place? What function do they serve?

Because you can 😊😊👍👍✔✔
Absolutely!
The project had me until Telegram... Nooooo way.
That is a more than valid concern. I wish they had another way of doing this.

I think it is a V2.1, but I am not sure.

@@obsolete.camper I use the T-Beam for the example, but my station is running on a LORA32.
