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

This bundle contains the popular Elektor Sand Clock for Raspberry Pi Pico and the new Elektor Laser Head Upgrade, offering even more options for displaying the time. Not only can you "engrave" the current time in sand, you can now alternatively write it on a glow-in-the-dark foil or create green drawings.
Contents of the bundle
Elektor Sand Clock for Raspberry Pi Pico (normal price: €50)
Elektor Laser Head Upgrade for Sand Clock (normal price: €35)
Elektor Sand Clock for Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi-based Eye Catcher)
A standard sand clock just shows how time passes. In contrast, this Raspberry Pi Pico-controlled sand clock shows the exact time by "engraving" the four digits for hour and minute into the layer of sand. After an adjustable time the sand is flattened out by two vibration motors and everything begins all over again.
At the heart of the sand clock are two servo motors driving a writing pen through a pantograph mechanism. A third servo motor lifts the pen up and down. The sand container is equipped with two vibration motors to flatten the sand. The electronic part of the sand clock consists of a Raspberry Pi Pico and an RTC/driver board with a real-time clock, plus driver circuits for the servo motors.
A detailed construction manual is available for downloading.

Elektor Laser Head Upgrade for Sand Clock
The new Elektor Laser Head transforms the Sand Clock into a clock that writes the time on glow-in-the-dark film instead of sand. In addition to displaying the time, it can also be used to create ephemeral drawings. The 5 mW laser pointer, with a wavelength of 405 nm, produces bright green drawings on the glow-in-the-dark film. For best results, use the kit in a dimly lit room. Warning: Never look directly into the laser beam!
The kit includes all the necessary components, but soldering three wires is required.
Note: This kit is also compatible with the original Arduino-based Sand Clock from 2017. For more details, see Elektor Magazine 1-2/2017 and Elektor Magazine 1-2/2018.
Book: Mastering the Arduino Uno R4
Based on the low-cost 8-bit ATmega328P processor, the Arduino Uno R3 board is likely to score as the most popular Arduino family member, and this workhorse has been with us for many years. Eleven years later, the long-overdue successor, the Arduino Uno R4, was released. It is built around a 48 MHz, 32-bit Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller and provides significantly expanded SRAM and Flash memory. Additionally, a higher-precision ADC and a new DAC are added to the design. The Uno R4 board also supports the CAN Bus with an interface.
Two versions of the board are available: Uno R4 Minima, and Uno R4 WiFi. This book is about using these new boards to develop many different and interesting projects with just a handful of parts and external modules. All projects described in the book have been fully tested on the Uno R4 Minima or the Uno R4 WiFi board, as appropriate.
The project topics include the reading, control, and driving of many components and modules in the kit as well as on the relevant Uno R4 board, including
LEDs
7-segment displays (using timer interrupts)
LCDs
Sensors
RFID Reader
4x4 Keypad
Real-time clock (RTC)

Arduino Uno R4 WiFi
The Arduino Uno R4 is powered by the Renesas RA4M1 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 processor, providing a significant boost in processing power, memory, and functionality. The WiFi version comes with an ESP32-S3 WiFi module in addition to the RA4M1, expanding creative opportunities for makers and engineers.
The Arduino Uno R4 runs at 48 MHz, which provides a 3x increase over the popular Uno R3. Additionally, SRAM has been upgraded from 2 kB to 32 kB, and flash memory from 32 kB to 256 kB to support more complex projects. Responding to community feedback, the USB port is now USB-C, and the maximum power supply voltage has been raised to 24 V with an enhanced thermal design. The board includes a CAN bus and an SPI port, enabling users to reduce wiring and perform parallel tasks by connecting multiple shields. A 12-bit analog DAC is also provided on the board.

Die Hochfrequenztechnik ist eines der Gebiete, auf denen man auch heute noch eigene Ideen in die Tat umsetzen kann. Unzählige Schaltungsvarianten mit besonderen Zielsetzungen geben Raum für sinnvolle Experimente und Projekte. Vieles kann man nicht einfach kaufen. Detektorradios ohne eigene Energiequelle, einfache Röhrenempfänger mit einem Hauch von Nostalgie, die ersten Empfangsversuche mit dem Software Defined Radio oder Spezialempfänger für den Amateurfunk, all dies lässt sich mit wenig Aufwand realisieren.
Lange Zeit war das Radiobasteln der Einstieg in die Elektronik. Inzwischen gibt es auch andere Wege, vor allem über Computer, Mikrocontroller und die Digitaltechnik. Allerdings kommen die analogen Wurzeln der Elektronik oft zu kurz. Die Radiotechnik eignet sich besonders gut als Lernfeld der Elektronik, weil man hier mit den einfachsten Grundlagen beginnen kann. Aber auch die Verbindung zur modernen Digitaltechnik liegt auf der Hand, wenn es z. B. um moderne Abstimmverfahren wie PLL und DDS oder um moderne DSP-Radios geht.
Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick und stellt eine Sammlung einfacher Projekte vor. Der Autor möchte Sie dabei unterstützen, eigene Ideen zu entwickeln, eigene Empfänger zu entwerfen und sie zu erproben.
Schaltungen, Software und Empfangspraxis
Die Kurzwellen-Empfangstechnik entwickelt sich ständig weiter. Im Mai 2007 wurde von Elektor das "Software Defined Radio mit USB-Schnittstelle" vorgestellt. Ziel war ein möglichst einfacher Empfänger, der durch den Einsatz geeigneter Software überzeugende Empfangsergebnisse liefert. Die benötigten Programme stehen auf der Elektor-Website und im Internet gratis zur Verfügung. Schon nach wenigen Monaten hatte dieser neue Empfänger eine weite Verbreitung gefunden. Zahlreiche Software-Autoren unterstützten das Projekt. Auch Bedienungshinweise, Erweiterungen sowie Tipps und Tricks findet man im Netz.
Die Vielfalt der Möglichkeiten erschwert die Orientierung. Deshalb wurde dieses Buch geschrieben. Das Ziel ist ein Überblick über Aufbau, Software und Bedienung des SDR. Außerdem werden Selbstbauprojekte vorgestellt, die es erlauben, mit geringsten Kosten eigene Empfänger zu entwerfen; denn das Thema entwickelt sich laufend weiter...
