Project description
PacketRaven
PacketRaven is a front-end data aggregator / dashboard, designed to track the progress of high-altitude balloon payload flights via location telemetry.
pip install packetraven
Usage:

packetraven
for usage, do
packetraven -h
there is also a graphical interface:
packetraven_gui
Python API:
to retrieve packets directly from https://aprs.fi:
from packetraven import DEFAULT_CALLSIGNS, APRS_fi
api_key = '' # enter your APRS.fi API key here - you can get a free API key from https://aprs.fi/page/api
aprs_fi = APRS_fi(DEFAULT_CALLSIGNS, api_key)
aprs_fi_packets = aprs_fi.packets
print(aprs_fi_packets)
or parse packets from a radio sending parsed APRS over a USB connection:
from packetraven import PacketRadio
serial_port = None # leave None to let PacketRaven guess the port name
radio = PacketRadio(serial_port)
radio_packets = radio.packets
print(radio_packets)
Features:
current:
- parse APRS packets from USB radio
- retrieve packets from https://aprs.fi
- output packets to file
- plot altitude
in development:
- flight track plotting
- live track prediction
- Iridium telemetry and commands
- live chase navigation
