This script uploads bearings generated by the KerberosSDR to a RDFMapper bearing server. By default it uploads to the public server at http://rdf.musther.net/save.php. You can use the RDF Mapper software created by Jonathan Musther at http://www.musther.net/RDFMapper/ to view the bearings from various servers on a map.
------INSTALL AND USE------
First to make sure Python and pip installed on system.
-
Run this command first
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
to install the pre-requisites. -
Open
nano .env
and add the IP address of the KerberosSDR server. a) Add a UNIQUE station ID b) Set your LAT/LON c) Set the bearing of your KerberosSDR, with 0 being NORTH, 90 being EAST, 180 being SOUTH, and 270 being WEST. So for example if antenna 1 on your circular array points SOUTH, set KSDR_BEARING = 180. d) POLLING_INTERVAL sets how often you want to poll the KerberosSDR bearing server and upload to the RDFMapper server. LINE_LENGTH determines how long the bearing line will be on the RDFMapper display. -
Run the main script
python3 rdf_mapper.py
