SatReceiver

Description

SatReceiver, together with SatController and SatServer, is a system for controlling and Digital Amateur Television (DATV) equipment over a wired local area network.

Platform

Raspberry Pi 4 (mine has 4 GB of memory)
Raspberry Pi OS Lite Arm 64 (Bullseye)
Swift 5.6

Implementation

SatController, SatServer and SatReceiver are written in Swift, with Swift-NIO for the networking. The server and receiver run as a service on the latest 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite. The controller is a desktop application with a SwiftUI user interface on an Apple iMac. Transmitted audio & video is sourced internally from the Mac version of OBS. Received audio & video can be monitored with VNC on the iMac or an Apple TV and HDMI television. All other equipment (transmitter, power amplifier, receiver, power supplies, peripherals and ancillaries) are situated outdoors – weather protected and close to the antennas.
