Totoo edited this page Nov 6, 2024 · 5 revisions

If you connect your module via I2C to the H4 edition of Portapack, you'll get new apps in the menu.

There is a list in the Debug / Ext Module app, what apps the module provides.

You'll need to use at least the 2024-10-22 nightly build to use this function on your H4.

SatTrack

This is in UTILITIES / SatTrack

With this app, you can check where is the selected satellite at currently. Like what it the elevation / azimuth of NOAA 19.

If you got a GPS module, it'll provide your current location for the app. If don't, or there is no GPS signal, you can set your position manually. After setting the values, press the "Send GPS" button.

The ESP will download TLE (satellite database) from internet on every startup if it is connected to a Wifi that has internet.

The ESP can update it's time from GPS or over the internet. But it is necessary to get correct results.

The app will also show "DBT" field, that means what it the selected satellite's last TLD data. Should be within 1-2 days. If not, let ESP reach the internet.

DigitalRain

This is just a plain "Matrix" style screensaver.
