To make the CubeSat Simulator transmit automatically on boot, follow these steps, which were derived from https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/usage/systemd.md Log into the Pi and type: sudo cp ~/CubeSatSim/systemd/cubesatsim.service /etc/systemd/system/cubesatsim.service sudo systemctl enable cubesatsim sudo cp ~/CubeSatSim/systemd/rpitx.service /etc/systemd/system/rpitx.service sudo systemctl enable rpitx Reboot to start the autoboot service: sudo reboot now Now after the Pi starts up, the demo.sh script will run automatically, to see the console: sudo journalctl -u cubesatsim
