Like the look and feel of vintage radio, but want Pandora, internet radio and your own music? This project is for you! Story Inspiration I used to love playing around with my Dad’s big 1940’s Zenith radio, tuning in to stations across America and around the world. The charm of that old Zenith stuck […]

Build a 12/24 hr UTC digital clock using low-cost TM1637 4-digit displays and a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Story Overview Amateur Radio Operators (aka HAM Radio) use 24 hour UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) for much of their operation. I decided to build a digital clock using the low-cost TM1637 4-digit displays and a Raspberry Pi

Be it a boring afternoon, a monotonous job or a lonely long drive FM radio stations have always kept us entertained. While on the contradictory it should also be agreed that sometimes these FM stations get very boring with the RJ blabbering irrelevant stuff or some bugging advertisements and that might have kept you guessing

Objective There is a wide range of applications for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that have been made possible through recent advancements in technology. One application uses a quadcopter for surveillance of a region. In this project, we attempted to automate a quadcopter for tracking targets. The goal was to have the quadcopter continuously follow and hover

Description This project is an APRS iGate for ARISS program‘s digipeater aboard the International Space Station. I have a 2m FM radio tuned to 145.825 MHz. As the ISS passes over my location, the radio passes the received signal from the ISS to a Terminal Node Controller (TNC) that resides atop the Raspberry Pi. The

Description I created my first Raspberry Pi WebSDR receiver in the Fall 2014. I had long intended to setup a WebSDR station, but grad school and work can really keep you busy. The first receiver on the air worked well until a suprise electrical storm popped up while I was away at work and fried

My father-in-law is a musician and a lover of mid-century modern design. I have an obsession with tinkering. Somewhere in that mix lies the perfect gift and the perfect challenge. After taking a couple of trips to antique stores and reading a few Intructables, I came to the conclusion that I should turn an old

The Arduino Fox Hunt Transmitter will be documented in another post, in this post I want to document the Raspberry Pi SSTV Field Day Beacon. The one thing that I don’t like about the Raspberry Pi is that it only has digital input/output logic lines. It has no built in analog capabilities to read voltages,

Xbee Radios I purchased two XBee Series 1 Module (Freescale 802.15.4 firmware) from Adafruit. These are manufactured by Digi and are low-power module with wire antenna (XB24-AWI-001). They have a 250 kbps RF data rates and operate at 2.4 GHz. These radios use the IEEE 802.15.4 networking protocol and can perform point-to-multi-point or peer-to-peer networking , but as configured here, they do not mesh. The Digi

I promised more details in the future about the Raspberry Pi STL build. Well, against all odds, I’m going to deliver! The project exists purely to solve a problem with getting audio between two sites for a hospital radio station. They currently use a costly dedicated line that’s purely analogue. Imagine the old fashioned exchange
