OrbitDeck macOS alpha release

This is the first tagged alpha release for working OrbitDeck code on macOS. It focuses on APRS ops, radio-control stability, and documentation/build hygiene.

OrbitDeck is a FastAPI-backed amateur satellite operations dashboard that combines pass prediction, live tracking, APRS operations, radio control, and kiosk/operator surfaces into one system.

Highlights in this alpha

  • Reworked the rotator APRS ops surface into a denser control-panel layout better suited to kiosk use.
  • Made terrestrial and satellite APRS switching reversible, with the preferred satellite APRS target remembered for return.
  • Added session-local APRS callsign and SSID override support without changing global settings.
  • Surfaced iGate state more cleanly in the APRS command area and simplified the terrestrial digipeater presentation.
  • Added IC-705 Wi-Fi reachability preflight by pinging the configured host before radio or APRS Wi-Fi connect attempts.
  • Restored the live-pass Radio Control flow into pinned radio ops.
  • Reduced IC-705 split/VFO reapply flicker by skipping redundant rig apply cycles when the resolved recommendation has not changed.
  • Replaced the native Selectable pairs browser dropdown with an in-app picker to avoid browser-specific popup instability.

APRS and radio control changes

APRS ops

  • Rotator APRS page redesigned for denser operator use.
  • Session-local APRS identity override added.
  • Terrestrial digipeater made refresh-safe and automatically disabled when switching back to satellite APRS.
  • Session iGate forwarding now activates when internet and APRS-IS credentials are available.
  • APRS Wi-Fi connect now verifies that the IC-705 host is reachable first.

Radio control

  • Live-pass radio handoff now routes into the pinned radio control workflow.
  • Fake live-pass development mode now prefers ISS when synthesizing an ongoing pass.
  • Radio channel selection is now handled by an internal picker instead of a native browser dropdown.
  • Background polling is paused while the in-app channel picker is open.

Verification performed

  • node --check app/static/kiosk/rotator.js
  • node --check app/static/kiosk/aprs.js
  • node --check app/static/common/aprs-console.js
  • node --check app/static/kiosk/settings-v2.js
  • node --check app/static/kiosk/settings.js
  • python3 -m py_compile app/main.py app/aprs/service.py app/radio/service.py app/models.py
  • PYTHONPATH=. pytest -q tests/test_api.py -k "radio_session or aprs_connect or forces_session_igate or session_identity_override or satellite_session_select_disables_digipeater or radio_wifi_connect_requires_reachable_host or aprs_wifi_connect_requires_reachable_host"
  • mkdocs build --strict

Release tag

  • v0.1.0-alpha-macos.1

Notes

  • This is an alpha release intended for active testing on macOS.
  • Browser behavior around radio control was specifically hardened for the current kiosk/operator flows.
  • Further live-pass validation on real passes is still recommended.
