Beta v1.3.1 for New Hardware and Pico

This is a beta release of the CubeSatSim code for the Beta v1.3.2 PCB boards. Here is the info on these boards: https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/tree/beta-v1.3.2/hardware/beta-v1.3.2 The wiki instructions for these boards are here: https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/wiki/v1.3.2-0.-Home The Pico code from stempayload/payload_pico is compiled using the Arduino software.

To use the release Source Code zip file below, follow these steps after downloading the file (or wget https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/archive/refs/tags/v1.3.1.zip)

cd
unzip v1.3.1.zip
mv CubeSatSim-1.3.1 CubeSatSim
cd CubeSatSim
./install

Alternatively, you can download a pre-installed Raspberry Pi image with the Beta v1.3.1 CubeSatSim software installed: http://cubesatsim.org/download/cubesatsim-beta-v1.3.1.iso.gz

For the Raspberry Pi Pico on the STEM Payload board, the binary UF2 file payload_pico.ino.rpipicow.v1.3.1.uf2 is included with this release and should work with a Pico or Pico W board. To install it, follow these steps:

Plug your Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W into your computer using the micro USB port while holding down the BOOTSEL button (white button on the Pico). It should mount as a drive RPI-RP2.
Drag the .UF2 file from this release to the Pico flash drive
You can monitor the serial output using Arduino or a terminal emulator such as PUTTY to see the log files or make configuration changes.

This code transmits on the usual 434.9 MHz frequency and the receiver command frequency is 435.0 MHz
