Program and Build Raspberry Pi 5 Based Ham Station Utilities with the RTL-SDR The RTL-SDR devices (V3 and V4) have gained popularity among radio amateurs because of their very low cost and rich features. A basic system may consist of a USB based RTL-SDR device (dongle) with a suitable antenna, a Raspberry Pi 5 computer, a USB based external audio input-output adapter, and software installed on the Raspberry Pi 5 computer. With such a modest setup, it is possible to receive signals from around 24 MHz to over 1.7 GHz. This book is aimed at amateur radio enthusiasts and electronic engineering students, as well as at anyone interested in learning to use the Raspberry Pi 5 to build electronic projects. The book is suitable for both beginners through experienced readers. Some knowledge of the Python programming language is required to understand and eventually modify the projects given in the book. A block diagram, a circuit diagram, and a complete Python program listing is given for each project, alongside a comprehensive description. The following popular RTL-SDR programs are discussed in detail, aided by step-by-step installation guides for practical use on a Raspberry Pi 5: SimpleFM GQRX SDR++ CubicSDR RTL-SDR Server Dump1090 FLDIGI Quick RTL_433 aldo xcwcp GPredict TWCLOCK CQRLOG klog Morse2Ascii PyQSO Welle.io Ham Clock CHIRP xastir qsstv flrig XyGrib FreeDV Qtel (EchoLink) XDX (DX-Cluster) WSJT-X The application of the Python programming language on the latest Raspberry Pi 5 platform precludes the use of the programs in the book from working on older versions of Raspberry Pi computers.

Dit boek gaat over de Raspberry Pi, en over het programmeren in C. De programmeertaal C en het besturingssysteem Linux (Raspbian) passen uitstekend bij elkaar. Alles wat we nodig hebben om in C te programmeren wordt meegeleverd met het besturingssysteem van de Raspberry Pi. In dit boek leert u hoe C gebruikt wordt met de Raspberry Pi, en krijgt u een overzicht van de taal. WiringPi is een softwarebibliotheek voor de Raspberry Pi waarmee C hardware-uitbreidingen kan benaderen. Die bibliotheek wordt gebruikt om sensoren uit te lezen en om extra hardware aan te sturen. U gaat experimenteren met LED’s en schakelaars, met motoren, met geluid en met sensoren voor temperatuur, luchtdruk, en luchtvochtigheid. Met een Linux-systeem kunt u een webserver maken, inclusief interactieve websites met PHP en WiringPi. Daarom is ook een beknopt overzicht van HTML en PHP in het boek opgenomen. In de voorbeelden worden sensoren via het web uitgelezen en worden apparaten bestuurd. In het laatste voorbeeld wordt een temperatuurlogger gemaakt. Die meet elk kwartier de temperatuur. Een tabel met de meetwaarden kan via het web worden uitgelezen. Alle voorbeeldprogramma’s kunnen worden gedownload van de website van Elektor.

Develop innovative hardware-based projects in C The Raspberry Pi has traditionally been programmed using Python. Although this is a very powerful language, many programmers may not be familiar with it. C on the other hand is perhaps the most commonly used programming language and all embedded microcontrollers can be programmed using it. The C language is taught in most technical colleges and universities and almost all engineering students are familiar with using it with their projects. This book is about using the Raspberry Pi with C to develop a range of hardware-based projects. Two of the most popular C libraries, wiringPi and pigpio are used. The book starts with an introduction to C and most students and newcomers will find this chapter invaluable. Many projects are provided in the book, including using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to establish communication with smartphones. Many sensor and hardware-based projects are included. Both wiringPi and pigpio libraries are used in all projects. Complete program listings are given with full explanations. All projects have been fully tested and work. The following hardware-based projects are provided in the book: Using sensors Using LCDs I²C and SPI buses Serial communication Multitasking External and timer interrupts Using Wi-Fi Webservers Communicating with smartphones Using Bluetooth Sending data to the cloud Program listings of all Raspberry Pi projects developed in this book are available on the Elektor website. Readers can download and use these programs in their projects. Alternatively, they can customize them to suit their applications.

This book is all about building your own DIY home control system. It presents two innovative ways to assemble such a system: By recycling old PC hardware – possibly extending the life of an old PC, or by using Raspberry Pi. In both cases, the main system outlined in this book will consist of a computer platform, a wireless mains outlet, a controller and a USB webcam – All linked together by Linux. By using the Raspberry Pi in conjunction with Arduino (used as an advanced I/O system board), it is possible to construct a small, compact, embedded control system offering enhanced capacity for USB integration, webcams, thermal monitoring and communication with the outside world. The experience required to undertake the projects within this book are minimal exposure to PC hardware and software, the ability to surf the internet, burn a CD-ROM and assemble a small PCB.

Mit RPi-basierten Tools und Messgeräten Amateurfunkstationen bauen und programmieren Obwohl viele Funkamateure immer noch mit klassischer HF- und Mobilfunkausrüstung arbeiten, ist der Einsatz von Computern und digitalen Techniken inzwischen sehr beliebt. Heutzutage kann jeder für ca. 40 € einen Raspberry Pi-Computer kaufen und fast jede Amateurfunk-Software auf dem 'RPi' ausführen. Die RTL-SDR-Geräte sind bei Funkamateuren sehr beliebt, weil sie sehr preiswert sind und viele Funktionen bieten. Ein Basissystem kann aus einem USB-basierten RTL-SDR-Dongle mit einer geeigneten Antenne, einem RPi-Computer, einem USB-basierten externen Audio-Eingangs-/ Ausgangsadapter und einer auf dem RPi installierten Software bestehen. Mit einer solch einfachen Einrichtung ist es möglich, Signale von etwa 24 MHz bis über 1,7 GHz zu empfangen. Dieses Buch richtet sich an Funkamateure, die lernen wollen, wie man mit dem Raspberry Pi elektronische Projekte baut. Das Buch eignet sich für die gesamte Bandbreite von Anfängern bis hin zu alten Hasen im Amateurfunk. Die schrittweise Installation des Betriebssystems wird mit vielen Details zu den gängigsten Linux-Befehlen beschrieben. Einige Kenntnisse der Programmiersprache Python sind erforderlich, um die im Buch beschriebenen Projekte zu verstehen und zu bearbeiten. Zu den im Buch entwickelten Beispielprojekten gehören eine Stationsuhr, ein Signalgenerator, der Entwurf eines Transistorverstärkers, der Entwurf eines aktiven Filters, ein Morsezeichen-Übungsgerät, ein Frequenzzähler, ein HF-Meter und vieles mehr. Für jedes Projekt werden das Blockdiagramm, der Schaltplan und der vollständige Python-Quellcode angegeben, einschließlich der vollständigen Beschreibung der Projekte. Neben der umfassenden Behandlung von RTL-SDR für Amateurfunk fasst das Buch auch die Installations- und Gebrauchsanweisungen der folgenden Amateurfunkprogramme zusammen, die Sie auf ihrem Raspberry Pi ausführen können: TWCLOCK, Klog, Gpredict, FLDIGI, DIRE WOLF, xcwcp, QSSTV, LinPsk, Ham Clock, CHIRP, xastir und CQRLOG.
