Free sirius satellite software for linux

Sirius is a program for playing the game of othello. The program includes an AI (Artificial Intelligence) opponent which plays at a very challenging level and is actually quite hard to beat. The AI opponents strength can therefore be adjusted in several ways to give you a suitable opponent.
The AI opponent uses a plain alpha-beta search with hashing to figure out which move to make. To be able to tell a god position from a bad one, it uses a pattern based evaluation function.
The pattern used is the 9 discs surrounding each corner and the 8 discs creating the edge of the board. The evaluation function also takes mobility, potential mobility and parity into count. For the initial 9 moves the AI opponent optionally uses a simple opening book.
During midgame it searches and evaluates about 200.000 nodes per second on a PIII 750 MHz, in the endgame this number is significantly higher due to more transpositions and a less expensive evaluation function.
Enhancements:
- Russian translation. (Alexandre Prokoudine)
- Fixed problem with non-latin UTF-8 characters. (Vyacheslav Sdiconov)
- Trippled the size of the opening book.
- Made the hints unsensitive at startup.
- Man page for Debian.

This driver gives you the capability to work with the MediaFocus Satellite TV card under Linux. This driver contains modules for Zorans multimedia controller ZR36120/ZR36125, Micronas Intermetall Video Pixel Decoder VPX32XX series, Digital Radio Processor DRP3510 (astra digital radio decoder), Multistandard Sound Processor MSP3400 C, SGS Thompson Satellite Sound and Video Processor STV0030 and Mitels 2.6 GHz Synthesiser SP5055 (satellite tuner).

A satellite frequency table for xawtv is also included. In this table the 18/14V and 22kHz settings are placed within the frequency values. In order to avoid this dirty implementation two possible future ioctls for the v4l-API are proposed here.

The above mentioned driver was written for the ZR36120/ZR36125-based MediaFocus Sat-PC card. Nowadays TechniSat is selling a new MediaFocus card, which is based on the Philips SAA 7146 multimedia-chip. A driver for this card can be found on the official TechniSat MediafocusII website.

Ulteo project is the easiest system to use on computers. Ulteo is a new concept of an easy-to-use open-source operating system which could change the way we all use computers.

As a result, users have to perform tasks that should be reserved to computer specialists, while we think that users should just spend time using the applications they need. Ulteo tries to provide answers to these issues.

The first answer we have is to consider the OS + applications as a whole system that we could call an "Application System". This system should:

1- always provide the most up to date stable features and self-upgrade automatically
2- require no, or very little, administration by the user
3- open users horizon to potentially every application which exists, the simple way

For this release of Ulteo Sirius Alpha1, we have focused on the first point. This means that after the first installation, Ulteo will try to check for any new versions available if a network connection is available, and self-upgrade by using an incremental upgrade mechanism.

What this means is that for the next alpha release version, no installation will be needed. Simply rebooting the system will be enough to get the new features and bug fixes.

GPS::SpaceTrack is a package for calculating the position of GPS satellites.

SYNOPSIS

use GPS::SpaceTrack;
my $obj=GPS::SpaceTrack->new(filename=>"gps.tle");
print join("t", qw{Count PRN ELEV Azim SNR USED}), "n";
foreach ($obj->getsatellitelist({lat=>38.870997, lon=>-77.05596})) {
print join("t", $_->prn, $_->elev, $_->azim, $_->snr, $_->used), "n";
}

This package can calculates the location of the GPS satellite constellation given the position of the receiver and a time which can be in the future.

CONVENTIONS

Function naming convention is "format of the return" underscore "format of the parameters."

CONSTRUCTOR

new

The new() constructor passes paramaters to the filename() method.

my $obj = GPS::SpaceTrack->new(filename=>$filename);

METHODS

getsatellitelist

The getsatellitelist() method returns a list of Net::GPSD::Satellite objects. The getsatellitelist() method is a wrapper around getsatellitelist_rad() for data formatted in degrees instead of radians.

my $list=$obj->getsatellitelist({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #degrees, degrees, meters, seconds from epoch
my @list=$obj->getsatellitelist({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #degrees, degrees, meters, seconds from epoch
getsatellitelist_rad

The getsatellitelist_rad() method returns a list of Net::GPSD::Satellite objects. This method is basically a wrapper around Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE.

my $list=$obj->getsatellitelist_rad({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #radians, radians, meters, seconds from epoch
my @list=$obj->getsatellitelist_rad({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #radians, radians, meters, seconds from epoch

filename

Method to get or set the filename of the TLE data.

my $filename=$obj->filename;
my $filename=$obj->filename(filename=>$filename);

Gpredict project is a satellite tracking program for Unix-like operating systems. In the begining (v. 0.1.x) Gpredict was just a GUI client to John Magliacanes excellent satellite tracking program, Predict, but due to performance problems it has been decided to include the tracking code directly into Gnome Predict (v. 0.2.0 and later).

Gpredict is licensed under the GNU General Public License which basically gives you the right to freely use, distribute and modify the software and its source code, but without any warranty from the authors.

settevion is a program that allows you to edit the channels in your Skymaster DXL 9400 Satellite Receiver.
This receiver was sold under the name Tevion FTA 203 by Aldi. Note that the current version does not allow writing radio channels into the receiver. Also note: This program makes use of undocumented behaviour. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. There is no guarantee, even not against possible damage to your equipment. The program is free for personal, non-commercial use. Commercial use and copying (even at no cost) requires written permission. There are only german instructions provided, but Id not expect many problems for non-german speaking users since the programs dialog language is english.
Download settevion-x.x.x.tar.gz for Linux or settevion-win-x.x.x.zip for Windows. See the "Download" section below. For Linux, you must have Python installed (at least version 2.2) and Tkinter, which might be in a separate package. They are part of your distribution. Unpack the .tar.gz and do a "make install". The Windows version comes with its Python interpreter integrated into settevion.exe. Just unpack the zip file. For both versions, connect the receiver with a null modem cable and start settevion. Choose "Edit->Preferences" to select your serial device. Then choose "Receiver->Read data from receiver". This should be enough to make this run.
Enhancements:
- settevion.py: getDBPRINT: added code to read in SER data entry by entry since firmware version 2.12 doesnt dump the SER data base any more. satIO.read() changed to ignore asynchronous error messages ("trashlog") if they are one a line of their own. Warning message added if Python is called with -O and one of the debugging (-v) command line options is set. Version 1.4.1.
