GoesTools Receiver Interface

Work is almost completed on our GoesTools satellite receiver interface.  GoesTools is used to receive the HRIT/EMWIN satellite data stream.

GoesTools runs on a Raspberry pi.  A new application for the Raspberry pi has been written to serve data to the Windows pc.  This application also interfaces to a Nextion 3.5" display  to show receiver stats. 

This is a picture of the Nextion Raspberry pi screen.


To help with alignment, you can click on the Vitribi number to see a larger screen.

A new ingest program has been created to allow Weather Message to receive data from the Raspberry pi.

The Raspberry pi and display are installed in the following case.


This makes for a nice and clean installation.
