1WELCOME TO GSAT!
2
3gsat is a satellite tracking program. It is a graphical frontend to the predict orbital prediction program by John Magliacane KD2BD.
4
5To install, do the usual:
6
7	./configure
8	./make
9	./make install
10
11If this doesn't work, you can do:
12
13	./autogen.sh
14	./make
15	./make install
16
17Make sure to have predict installed and the predict service configured in the /etc/services.
18Define the host with the predict server by:
19
20	export PREDICTHOST=<hostname>
21
22
23where <hostname> is the host name of the server.
24Then execute gsat by typing:
25
26	gsat
27
28or by using -s option, like:
29
30	gsat -s hostname
31
32where hostname is the host name of the server.
33If no PREDICTHOST variable or no -s option are used, localhost is assumed.
34
35From gsat version 0.9.0, you have to use the connect button to make a connection to a predict server.

39ABOUT PLUGINS
40-------------
41
42gsat can do automatic doppler correction and rotor control via plugins. Plugins are placed in the /usr/local/lib/gsat/plugins directory by default. You can override this setting the GSATPLUGINSDIR environment variable. Plugin's name must begin by "radio_" for the radio plugins and "rotor_" for the rotor plugins. Once you have the plugins installed, you can select it in the preferences window, pass it a config string and activate it in the doppler section of the main window.
43There is a file called Plugin_API with the info to program a custom plugin. There are some examples in the plugins subdir.
44Please note that not all the plugins in the plugins directory of this package are in a working state. I'm working on some of them and it is possible that even some refuse to compile. I include them to show some examples of plugin programming.
45
46Working plugins:
47
48radio plugins
49-------------
50radio_FT736 : Yaesu FT-736 contributed by Hiroshi Iwamoto JH4XSY
51radio_ICR10 : Icom IC-R10 Receiver
52radio_PCR100: Icom PCR-100 Receiver (libpcr100 is needed to compile this)
53
54rotor plugins
55-------------
56rotor_pictrack: created from the pictrack code in predict. Not tested.
57
58the radio_print and rotor_print are test plugins that only print data to the shell.
59
60INSTALLING PLUGINS
61------------------
62
63Plugin installation is not yet automated. You will have to install the plugins after installing gsat. To install the plugins, change to the plugins directory, edit the Makefile and change the TARGETS line to contain only the plugins you want to install. Then do a make and make install and you are done.
64
65Happy tracking !!!
