Raspberry pi

 

Does anyone in the group use a raspberry pi in their shack? If so, what do you use it for or maybe some suggestions on what to use it for. Maybe even portable. Thoughts.....
Re: Raspberry pi

 

I have two of them. I use one for ADS-B decoding and feeding. The other I use as a DMR/DStar hotspot. They're both operating in headless mode running custom software.?

I use it for RIGPI and? PiStar Digital hotspot.? It opens doors to remote operations and Digital Modes.? It is great for operation that is more efficient than direct front panel radio control.? What are you considering?? WA3IDX,? Fred

Re: Raspberry pi

 

First, thanks for responding to my inquiry. Being disabled and on a fixed income kinda limits me too what I can do. I pretty much have to work with what I have. I am unable to do dstar and dmr because I don't have the equipment. I was considering perhaps some of the other digital modes like ft-8 etc. It will be something that I can physically do myself. I do however have a thing for portable operation so something my wife can help me do. I chose the raspberry pi because it was inexpensive and some what powerful for it's size. I have done some programming back in the day with Cobol, Fortran and Pascal but not sure how that would translate to the pi. So what do you think? Something I can do or should I try another approach?

Again, thanks Fred and Josh for sharing you projects with me. After a day of reflection, I realize how narrow my focus was for this powerful little device. So, back to the books for me.

Thanks guys.

The Raspberry Pi is a great tool for anyone that likes to learn more and do more with HAM radio and computers.? The information is all on the internet.? The challenge is to search out the details for the specific radio you have and it's digital interfaces.? To be honest it doesn't require much programming, but does take a lot of searching for a the missing links in every explanation.? I spent months on it.

I'm very happy with the RPi?for FLDigi for. PSK31 etc, and WSJTX for FT-8, using a Yaesu FT-991a.
Most rescent I bought a ZUM Hotspot for PiStar and find it a lot of fun for digital radio, worldwide with no antenna, just internet.

Good Luck, 73

For remote control of your radio via RPi, see?

I use one for a UHF DVAP USB dongle for D-star and I have one for Flight Aware flight tracking, and I have one with Xastir on it for a portable APRS station. So I have three in use in the shack.

High Altitude Balloon Presentation Replay #zoom

 

If you missed the meeting, we had a wonderful presentation by Bill WB8ELK, audio at times gets a little digital due to the low bandwidth Bill has on top of the Mountain In Huntsville, AL. But we all learned to listen through noise... here is a link to that reply.

DroidStar

 

Just found out about the "DroidStar" smartphone app. It's native to Android Devices and the Google Play Store, but also can be used on iPhone and iOS devices via Apple's "TestFlight" Beta Tester app and following a github link.
?
There's some guy on YouTube that explains how to set it all up, and includes a link to the download.
?
Easy way to get on DMR, DStar, P25, and Yaesu Fusion digital modes using your smartphone. Just passing along the info.
?
Here's a link to the YouTube video showing iPhone set up. If you have an Android it's obviously easier.
