The settings card had a "Compute passcode" button that derived the value from the callsign and filled the field in. It was added by request, so it stayed while the previous commit removed the same derivation from the connection path - which left the app contradicting itself: the background no longer invented a passcode, but the UI still offered to. APRS-IS treats the passcode as a licence check and states that supplying it to a user is the software author's responsibility. APRSdroid carries the identical algorithm in the same source file and deliberately does not use it for this, opting to validate what the operator typed and link out to request one. Filling the field in claims a check that nobody performed. The button now opens the passcode request page. AprsPacket.passcode stays in core:domain because validating an entry means recomputing the expected value, and its import is dropped from the card, which no longer needs it.
Look4Sat: Satellite tracker
Radio satellite tracker and pass predictor for Android, inspired by Gpredict
Track satellite passes with ease!
Thanks to Celestrak and SatNOGS you have access to over 9000 active satellites.
You can search the entire database by NORAD Catalog Number or the satellite's name.
Orbital positions and passes are calculated relative to your location.
To get reliable data make sure to set the station position via the app Settings.
The application is built using Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose and Navigation.
It is now and always will be completely ad-free and open-source.
Main features:
- Predicting satellite positions and passes for up to 10 days
- Showing the list of currently active and upcoming satellite passes
- Showing the active pass progress, polar trajectory and transceivers info
- Showing the satellite positional data, footprint and ground track on the map
- Custom TLE satellite data import is available via Three Line Element .txt files
- Offline first: calculations are made offline. Weekly TLE data update is recommended.
