This script is designed to extract physical parameters from a raw CADU frame stream received from a satellite in geostationary orbit. The program automatically synchronizes using a frame marker, removes empty filler packets, and performs rigorous data filtering, eliminating technical junk by checking reference voltage (24–29 V) and temperature (18–50 °C) ranges. The parser's main feature is processing magnetometer data along the Z axis: raw ADC values are converted to nanoteslas (nT), and a built-in algorithm analyzes deviations from the magnetosphere baseline (245 nT) and displays the current solar activity index on a scale of 1 to 5. The tool allows real-time monitoring of the satellite's status and the detection of solar storms, displaying a clean log without unnecessary noise and timestamps. I completely agree that it is very crude and very primitive. If anyone wants to review it, I would be happy to provide it.

The image quality isn't great, but considering I got them for free, it's not bad.

I found a piece of a laptop with a fingerprint scanner from 2007 in a junk bin. Surprisingly, it works perfectly with Windows 11 and reads my fingerprint without any problems. It requires a 3.3-volt voltage regulator to power it. I 3D-printed the enclosure and came up with a pretty good device.
