NOAA Automated capture using Raspberry PI

Most of the code and setup stolen from: Instructables

New Features!

• Nginx webserver to show images
• Timestamp and satellite name over every image
• WXToIMG configured to create several images (HVC,HVCT,MCIR, etc)
• Pictures are posted to Twitter. See more at argentinasat twitter account
• Wiki is updated!

Manual work

• sudo apt-get install imagemagick nginx predict libusb-1.0 cmake
• Install rtlsdr

Important notes

• I tried to run this on a Raspberry PI Zero Wifi, no luck. Seems like it’s too much load for the CPU. Running on a Raspberry PI 2+ is ok.
• Code was a bit updated on how it handles the UTC vs timezone times.
