GOES Full-Disc Animations in Linux

Your browser does not support the video tag. If you’ve seen my other tutorials/note-drops on receiving GOES imagery and how to delete all the extra GOES files you might also be interested in generating an animated gif/movie of your files. Obviously, this is based on the excellent work by US Radio Guy and his awesome scripts for generating all sorts of image types from what you receive from GOES satellites....

UPDATED GOES removal script for Linux

Recently I made this tutorial on receiving GOES images, and I had previously posted a little script for keeping everything clean. It’s now been updated slightly for new paths according to the howto I created. Not very complicated. First create your script $ nano /home/radio/goes_remove_old.sh Then, paste this in # DELETE FILES older than 7 days in the emwin directory find /var/www/html/goes/emwin/* -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; # DELETE ENTIRE DIRECTORIES older than 7 days and 14 days for NWS find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/m1/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/m2/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/non-cmip/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/fd/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes18/fd/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/nws/* -type d -mtime +14 -exec rm -rf {} \; Exit and save the file....

Automating the deletion of GOES-16 and GOES-17 images received using GOESTools the ghetto way.

I was having trouble with my hard drive filling up while pulling images from GOES-16 and GOES-17 satellites. 32gb filles up really quick on my odroid! So I wrote a ghetto little script that removes files older than 2 days, every day, except for the full color/ full disk images which are the ones I want to keep. I also leave the national weather service images since they take up very little space....

Setting up SDRPlay RSPDX on Armbian running on an ODroid N2+ for network radio tuning.

Today I received my SDRPlay RSPDx device and decided to get it running on my remote radio server. I’m still not sure if I’ll run this remote or locally, but, wanted to have the option for whatever I do decide to do. The setup is pretty painless and involves a few commands. I’m going to assume you already have your Armbian server setup and can SSH to it and have a special user called ‘radio’ setup to run all of this as....
