Full projects meetup from 24 March 2026.
The meeting focused on updates and progress across multiple satellite communication projects. Aaron reported significant progress on OpenCPI, including modifications to interlocutor for Ubuntu and investigation of HDL implementations for channelizers, with successful conversion of C++ code to VHDL. Paul and Michelle discussed their attempts to transmit and receive Opulent Voice over the air, encountering challenges with signal range due to low power output from SDRs and issues with compromised antennas, though they successfully implemented bandpass filters and identified the need for power amplifiers. Michelle provided updates on the MDT-SIC project for AMSAT-UK, noting successful integration of FPGA and STM boards with SPI communication, though timing issues were identified that need addressing. Michelle and Rick shared progress on the EVE (Earth-Venus-Earth) link analysis project.
