With regard to the Pi images seeming cleaner I think this may be to do with the Pi recording the pass at 60 kHz bandwidth (the value in the script I copied) whereas on the PC I was setting bandwidth to 34 kHz. Well what a faf de klerk! Still we got there in the end. NOAA 18 southbound 09.19z 1 MCIR with Precipitation enhancement sudo /usr/local/bin/wxtoimg -m $-map.png -c -e MCIR-precip $3.wav $3.MCIR-precip.pngĪnd finally you really can get the MCIR with precipitation enhancement!!! See below for a couple from this morning: NOAA 15 southbound 08.53z 1 MCIR with Precipitation enhancement So in the scripts which launch wxtomimg to decode the passes on the Pi I have prefaced the wxtoing calls with sudo, e.g. But there is another but………………….Subsequently you always have to use sudo to launch the program or else you are running the unregistered version…………wtf! The answer is to run “sudo wxtoming -G” and enter the relevant credentials.
WXTOIMG UPGRADE KEY REGISTRATION
But…………………………………… After you log out and close the program down when you restart it the registration details have disappeared and it has reverted back to the unregistered standard version. You can then click “help/enter upgrade key” and your standard unregistered copy become a professional version with all enhancements unlocked. Once you are logged in you have to launch wxtoimg in graphical mode by either running “wxtoimg -G” or xwxtoimg. The solution is to either plug a hdml cable into the Pi (doesn’t have to be connected to a monitor) or, more elegantly, to use raspi-config to change the default low resolution to the highest you are offered. normally using a terminal to log in, putty in my case) you will get the message “Can not display desktop”. If you are running your Pi headless like me (i.e. I found another set of keys on a facebook page where the write talked about the author making all feature available now. I also tried by reinstalling the 2.10.11 release, the posted keys didn't work with that version either. Neither of the upgrade keys posted on the WXtoImg site seem to work.
To get the professional version running on the Pi here are the steps.įirstly you need to log into the Pi via a graphical interface. Last week I downloaded windows version 2.11.2 Beta. I have not seen the following information reported before.
WXTOIMG UPGRADE KEY HOW TO
So how to enter the unlock key into my command line Raspberry Pi wxtoimg version?
Now the MCIR with precipitation enhancement is only available in the professional version. Seems like the author of wxtoimg has lost interest in it and abandoned the project and is happy for the keys to be in the public domain.
WXTOIMG UPGRADE KEY SOFTWARE
Incidentally Standard and Professional keys are freely available on. WxtoImg software (FREE) Virtual USB Cable software (FREE) SDR Console software to decode what the SDR receives (FREE) A method to determine when the weather satellites will be visible at your QTH (FREE or at a cost) I’ll first discuss a little bit about each of the items above, then show a diagram and explain how they all fit together. Back in the day I had paid for a Professional key and I had entered that into my PC version and all was fine. Now wxtoimg comes in three flavours: Standard, Standard registered and Professional. So I noted yesterday that the MCIR with Precipitation image enhancement was not “with precipitation” as there was no colour.
