[Discuss-gnuradio] Using the USRP1 for GOES LRIT reception...

[Michael Kimzey]

Hello all.
I'm a bit of a noobie and getting my feet wet here.  I hope to use my recently 
received USRP1 to receive the GOES weather satellite LRIT data using software 
from their site.  (here: http://www.goes-r.gov/hrit_emwin/index.html )
First, I was wondering if there was anyone else out there interested in/doing 
the same.
Second, I loaded up the software and followed the included directions (setting 
environment variables, etc) but it seems that the firmware wouldn't load up.  
(the USRP1 is installed and recognized by windows, though)
Here is the output:

--------------------------------------------------C:\Program Files\HRIT 
Radio>emwinr
==========================
Tracking LIVE SATELLITE
Using ETTUS BOX
===========================

The current date is 09/05/10
The current time is 12:14:00
Clock.Frequency: 64.0 MHz
======================
ACQ-Engine ENABLED
======================
Can't find firmware: std_Aerospace.ihx
PATH= C:\Program Files\HRIT Radio

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

C:\Program Files\HRIT Radio>
---------------------------------------------------As an FYI, the required 
firmware (std_Aerospace.ihx) is in this directory and has the exact same 
spelling. 
So, if anyone can offer some insight that would be cool.  I'll also be asking 
the developers and update this list if I hear anything.
Regards,
Mike
