====== Freya - 3D meteor visualising software ======

Freya (FREquencY Analysis) is a visualising tool for live-viewing the signal received by a station. It is suitable especially for presenting the data to visitors thanks to its simple intuitive representation of waterfall diagram that does not contain any details. Thus it differs from [[en:pysdr|PySDR]] software, which on the contrary serves as a tuning tool when servicing stations. 

Freya connects via TCP to port 3731, which provides a reduced data stream.

===== Ubuntu =====

{{:cs:freya:freya_ubuntu.png?400|}}

  sudo apt-get install python-sdl2 python-opengl python-numpy
  
<WRAP TIP>
Devices that do not have python-sdl2 package available, it is necessary to use Python package system.
In such case, it is also necessary to install the SDL2 library individually. 
  sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev python-setuptools
Next command will install pysdl from Python package system:
  sudo easy_install pysdl2
</WRAP>

  wget https://github.com/MLAB-project/pysdr/raw/3dwf/tools/3dwf.py
  python 3dwf.py STATION_ADDRESS

===== Installation under Windows =====
<WRAP important>
Freya visualising software runs under OS Windows 7 and windows 8. Other Windows versions are not supported.
</WRAP>

Unpack the Freya folder to a place where you keep your software in Windows (e.g.  //C:\//). Folder also contain a shortcut, that you can move to a place where you want to run Freya from.  
The shortcut has to be modified (via properties) so that the paths correspond to the folder where the Freya software is located. Furthermore it is necessary to replace //radio.ust.cz//  (in startup parameters ?? parametry spuštění) with a correct IP address of station in the local network. Station’s IP address can be easily found directly on station by running a ipconfig command on terminal, e.g.: 
  
  odroid@radio-nachodsko:~$ ifconfig -a
  eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr c2:22:09:f2:5f:e8  
            inet addr:10.0.0.204  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

  odroid@radio-nachodsko:~$

In our case, the station’s IP address is: 10.0.0.204

==== Detailed procedure ====


Install [[http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html|Miniconda]] to any directory. Open command line, move to the Miniconda’s directory and use the following commands to install Freya’s dependencies (shift, right mouse click, open terminal in chosen destination).

  Scripts\conda.exe install numpy pyopengl
  Scripts\easy_install.exe pysdl2

Next, copy SDL2.dll library into Miniconda’s directory (the library can be found at [[https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php|zde]] in Runtime Binaries section) and the Freya itself ([[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MLAB-project/pysdr/3dwf/tools/3dwf.py|zde]]).

===== Running =====

  \path\to\miniconda\python.exe \path\to\miniconda\3dwf.py STATION’S_NETWORK_ADDRESS

The following example shows how to run a data visualisation form ''radio.ust.cz'' station if the Miniconda is installed in ''C:\Miniconda'':

  C:\Miniconda\python.exe C:\Miniconda\3dwf.py radio.ust.cz
  
  
===== Remote playback via SSH tunnel =====

Thanks to ssh tunnelling, we can transfer data from any remote station through a mediation server. You have to use a so-called port-forwarding, an technique enabling opening a port from station to server and from client’s computer to server. To open a tunnel, follow the example below:
  
Sign in to a chosen station. Open a port to server that would serve as a mediator of the data transfer. 

  odroid@radio-svakov:~$ ssh -R 5000:localhost:3731 -N svakov@space.astro.cz
  
Next, open a tunnel from your computer to the mediation server.

  kaklik@popelnice:~$ ssh -L 3731:localhost:5000 space.astro.cz -N

Use another terminal to run Freya with a reference to the local computer - as if you run the Freya directly on the station. 

  kaklik@popelnice:~/git/pysdr/tools$ python 3dwf.py localhost
