sigh I really need to come up with a reliable and inexpensive way to power cycle some equipment remotely.
My #raspberryPi is up and running but the two #SDR software defined radios aren't responding even after rebooting the computer. The computer was involuntarily power cycled twice yesterday when the power went out and when the backup generator transferred the house back to the grid after grid power was restored.
Or maybe the SDRs need to be reseated in their USB ports? 🤔
Going for an upgrade on my SDR situation...I currently just have one of the bare cheapest $20 crappy ones that now has a faulty connector (It was using MCX for goodness sake!)
I'm thinking of going for a Nooelec one. Does anybody have any recommendations? preferably below $100AU
SatDump
A generic satellite data processing software.
Decode various satellites with SatDump using your Android device and compatible SDR. Receive #NOAA APT & #DSB, #LRPT, #HRPT, and other satellites, including geostationary ones like #GOES, GK-2A, on-the-go.
A good use case is receiving 137Mhz weather satellites conveniently.
If you are an IT professional, cybersecurity specialist or amateur radio operator in Canada - you might consider signing this petition and contacting your MP - banning a specific manufacturer/model of an SDR (software-defined-radio) is sheer lunacy and not going to stop anyone from stealing cars...
Fun in the sun today playing with this RFM69 radio shield from Adafruit. Vert900 antenna, not the best fit, but seeing nice reception over a distance, even non-LoS. Will test LoS with simple wire antenna.
CircuitPython has come along way, making prototyping easy. As a whole, a great platform for off grid sensor networks and low baud comms.
Endlich, nach sehr langer Zeit kann ich das #rad1obadge mit Abschirmungen, SMA, LED vervollständigen. Jetzt brauche ich nur noch ein entsprechendes Gehäuse. #badge#sdr
