| Project page for the high altitude balloon tracking/listening station have set up in the space.
| |
| | |
| == Overview ==
| |
| [[File:RevSpaceHABtracker.png|800px]] | |
| | |
| == Done ==
| |
| === Hardware ===
| |
| * "ezcap USB 2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM" dongle (RTL2838U, Fitipower FC0013 tuner)
| |
| * VK5QI HABamp
| |
| * Raspberry Pi (+ power supply)
| |
| * Antenna: Diamond X-50N
| |
| | |
| === Software ===
| |
| * Raspbian: revspace/geheim
| |
| ** IP: 10.42.43.20
| |
| ** SSH/Mosh: revspace/geheim
| |
| * running rtl_tcp on port 1234 (default)
| |
| ** Make sure you are on a wired connection, or else latency will ruin everything
| |
| | |
| == Todo ==
| |
| === Hardware ===
| |
| * Earth the antenna, to prevent static buildup
| |
| * Moar ferrite
| |
| * Metal box for some shielding (DIY or be lazy and get something like [http://dutchrfshop.nl/behuizingen.html] or [http://www.velleman.eu/products/list/?id=344199])
| |
| | |
| === Software ===
| |
| * Setting up a (virtual?) machine with gqrx and dl-fldigi.
| |
| ** Blokje told us we could use his machine for permanent setup
| |
| *** This requires us to move the [[SpaceSoundSystem]] towards something like a Cubieboard
| |
| **** Preferred to setup a complete NAS at the same time, this idea has been floating around for a while too
