SatNOGS vs Robiq

SatNOGS Network is a global management interface to facilitate multiple ground station operations remotely. An observer is able to take advantage of the full network of SatNOGS ground stations around the world. The network is open to anyone. Any observer is able to utilize all available Ground Stations and communicate with Satellites. All observations results are public and all data are distributed freely under the Creative Commons Atribution-Share Alike license. Whether you own satellite ground station equipment or you want to build one you can head to SatNOGS Project site to get up to date documentation and info on how to build a SatNOGS ground station. App functionality is currently limited by SatNOGS API and will be significantly improved in next major release.

Robiq is the official companion app for robiq kits self-balancing robots. Connect over your own WiFi and the robot becomes something you can read, tune and drive from your phone, no account or cloud, nothing in between. LIVE TELEMETRY A full-resolution render of your robot mirrors its real pitch as it balances, next to a live angle readout and a rolling chart. When it leans, the model leans. When it goes over, it lies on the ground. DRIVE IT A thumb joystick with a proper safety watchdog, plus a rover-mode switch for when you want it to stop balancing and just drive. TUNE IT Ten control-loop parameters on analog dials, arranged the way you actually tune them: Kp, Ki, Kd and pitch offset first, then the motor drive envelope, then the values you set once and leave alone. Turn a dial and the robot responds no save button, no round trip. LIGHT IT Pick a color and the robot's base LED follows: preset swatches for a quick change, a full color picker when you want an exact shade. SET IT UP A guided WiFi handover, join the robot's own network, give it yours, and it reconnects on your home network where you can reach it any time. Prefer to keep things direct? Direct Robot Connect drives the robot on its own access point without handing it a network at all. KEEP IT CURRENT Flash new firmware to the robot over WiFi from the Settings screen. The image is checked before a single byte is sent, so a wrong file fails instantly instead of halfway through. MADE TO LIVE ON YOUR PHONE Light and dark themes that follow your system. Available in English, French, Arabic, Chinese and Spanish. REQUIRES A ROBIQ ROBOT This app controls robiq kits hardware and does nothing without it. Your phone and the robot need to be on the same 2.4 GHz WiFi network, or you can connect straight to the robot's own network.
