gpredict VS can-utils

I didn't watch the video but Gpredict has tracking and a map showing the orbit path and ground footprint for satellites you select.

I'm using sdrpp with Doppler correction with gPredict. I record the signal in sdrpp and then process it with noaa-apt.

look at the source of http://gpredict.oz9aec.net/

Your missing the point basically they mean upgrade your software to Gpredict satellite tracking software (GPL) which has Linux and Windoze versions. http://gpredict.oz9aec.net/   Gpredict uses hamlib to control both radios and mounts. Hamlib supports many radios and mount support includes Meade, Celestron and iOptron IEQ45 alt-az mounts via AUSCOM standard software. Once done the next part is ensuring you set up you com ports to appropriately control your devices radio and mount and making sure the appropriate devices are set-up in the software. Note if your com ports change say because you replug something, don't forget to update the port details otherwise coms will fail and the relevant device won't be usable. Check out the documentation and there are a number number of set-up videos on YouTube if needed.

LWN usually has great content but they've missed out on so much free ham software in this article that I use regularly.

My main HF rig is an older Yaesu FT-950. I tapped the IF and brought it out of the chassis where it is plugged into a cheap RTLSDR. I then access that RTLSDR (with free drivers) with GQRX (free software for visualizing anything compatible with SoapySDR or GNU radio), and the result is that I get a panadapter that is arguably better than what's available on $2000 radios.

As for VHF/UHF stuff, I would be hopeless if it wasn't for GPredict on my laptop making it simple to track LEO satellites. https://github.com/csete/gpredict Short video here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/eg87BWpt2XnJdGFp7

I also run an APRS igate, which is powered by direwolf: https://sielicki.github.io/posts/radio-scanner-aprs-igate/ , https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf

It hasn't been updated in a couple years now, but `gpredict` is a nice desktop program that will show projections of satellite orbits and predict upcoming passes.

CAN is just glorified ethernet. https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils

I use a USB2CAN and the Linux SocketCAN can-utils.

Use the "SocketCAN Driver for Linux" from their support page and then you can use any of the CAN-Utils programs: https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils

For testing I found the CANtact more than adequate. Worked very well with Linux which has the SocketCAN system that basically lets you treat the CAN bus as a network socket. Great tooling exists in can-utils to help you do quick tests, debug a CAN network, and the sniffer is a great help for reverse engineering.

The Linux-CAN package appears to have some J1939/ISOBUS tools as part of can-utils.

SocketCAN, NMEA 2000, can-utils

I'm using slcand (to create a "normal" CAN device from SLCAN), candump and cansniffer from the can-utils package on Linux. It is available as a package in Ubuntu, probably also on other distributions. https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils
