Description

Ground tracking app for high altitudeballoons, complete with RTTY modem, offline mapping, onlinedistributed listener integration, chase car location reporting andmore.

Connecting a SSB radio to the audio in of your device will allowfor payloads transmitting RTTY to be decoded and displayed on themap. The decoded data is uploaded where it can be also viewed athttp://spacenear.us/tracker/ along with data from other listeners.Positions from other listeners are also downloaded so that balloonscan be tracked without being able to receive the radio signals.When enabled, the location of the user can also be uploaded anddisplayed on the online map.

The app supports multiple balloons at once, and includes graphingfor received data. The modem is automatic, only the baud rate needssetting, while signal is located and tracked automatically.

Offline mapping is provided by mapsforge, and maps can bedownloaded from http://download.mapsforge.org/maps/

Most devices allow audio input via the combined headset connector.A cable is needed to convert between the combined headset connectorand a connector for audio input. Suitable cables are hard to comeby, and so it may be easiest to make a cable manually.
