This Repository will have the code for Raspberry or Orange Pi for Balloon
This project has the code for the Baloon telemetry system used in Bacar5
This code generate a CW and GPS APRS telemetry on the 2m Band using Giga Technology SDR transmitter board.
The Raspberry Pi hat TX board detaiils is avalible here http://www.giga.co.za/ocart/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_82&product_id=296
This system can also be used for a fm Repeater on the baloon
How dose it work?
The Application is using direwalf, cw, gpsd, rpitx to create the APRS and CW message. If you add rtl dongell you can cortole the system as well.
What Applications do you need to install for telemetry to worK?

  1. Install direwalf
  2. Install cw
  3. Install alsa loopback
  4. Install gpsd
  5. Install sox
  6. Install rpitxi
  7. Install RTL-SDR
    What harware do you need for this project?
  8. Raspberry Pi 2 - 3 use the A as it use less poer from Giga Terchnology
  9. RTL dongle if you want to controle the Pi reomtely via APRS from Giga Technology
  10. Battery pack and managemen system From Giga Technology
  11. USB GPS from Giga Technology
  12. SDR Raspberry Pi transmitter hat from Giga Technology
  13. Rubber duck Antenna for Hat and one for Rtl dongle.
  14. Temprature sensor.
