SatNOGS

Last update 2020

SatNOGS is an integral part of the Libre Space Foundation. The project aims to build a global network of satellite ground stations. It is designed as an open source participatory project based on the users operating a ground station that is accessed via a web page for all of the network users. A basic ground station can be made up of commercial off the shelf components that are commonly available with a static omnidirectional antenna, to more complex stations with multiple movable antennas.

The Raspberry Pi (version 3 and 4) is the reference platform for SatNOGS (see our Ansible guide to install SatNOGS on other Linux machines). You can try using various distributions for this                     (eg. Debian/Armbian, Arch, Fedora), but the one we suggest is our custom image based on latest Raspbian.

Alarm Decoder

Last update 2019

There are several ways to start using your AlarmDecoder with the Raspberry Pi. While you can use all of the AlarmDecoder products with the Raspberry Pi, the AD2PI was specifically designed to interface with it directly. If you're attempting to connect an AD2USB or an AD2SERIAL please follow the standard Linux instructions here.

There are a couple of steps involved with getting your AD2PI and Raspberry Pi talking to each other. We've done all the initial footwork and highly recommend downloading the modified Raspbian image below and flashing it to a 8g uSD disk or larger using a simple too such as Etcher or Rufus or following the instructions as described here. If you intend to go with another distribution, or just want to do it yourself, then follow the instructions here to start using your device.

Pi Presents

Last update 2022

Pi Presents is a toolkit for producing interactive multimedia applications for museums, visitor centres, and more.

There are a number of Digital Signage solutions for the Raspberry Pi which are generally browser based, limited to slideshows, non-interactive, and driven from a central server enabling the content to be modified frequently.

Pi Presents is different, it is stand alone, multi-media, highly interactive, diverse in it set of control paradigms – slideshow, cursor controlled menu, radio button, and hyperlinked show, and able to interface with users or machines over several types of interface. It is aimed primarly at curated applications in museums, science centres, and visitor centres.

Being so flexible Pi Presents needs to be configured for your application. This is achieved using a simple to use graphical editor and needs no Python programming. There are numerous tutorial examples and a comprehensive manual.

There are two versions of Pi Presents ‘Gapless’ is the current stable version which you should use. ‘Next’ is now 3 years old and missing many of the refinements and later developments. It is end of life.

Tilt Pi

Last update 2022

Tilt Pi v2 "Buster" SD card image based on Raspberry Pi OS released February 2020. Tilt Pi is a local web server and dashboard that logs your Tilt readings to Google Sheets and a variety of cloud logging solutions. It  runs on all the popular Raspberry Pi models including 3B, 3B+, 3A, 4, and Zero W out of the box with no additional hardware (both have WiFi and Bluetooth). It also works on Raspberry Pi 2 with WiFi and BLE adapters. The easiest way to get started is to download our free Tilt Pi image, write to an 8GB or more SD card, add WiFi settings using our built-in setup app, and insert into a Raspberry Pi.

The Tilt Pi is primarily designed for local and cloud logging. If you would like to hook your Raspberry Pi to an HDMI monitor we have a separate "HDMI" version designed for this purpose. 

Download:

Notes:

To facilitate WiFi and cloud logging setup, we have included a "SETUP.html" file on the SD card. After making your SD card on a laptop or desktop computer, locate the file "SETUP.html" on the SD card named "boot". This file will guide you through creating the configuration files to copy over your SD card to get your Tilt Pi going. Once configured it will connect to your local WiFi network and you'll receive an email with a link to your cloud data log as well as link to your Tilt Pi dashboard to change settings, calibrate, and view data on your local network. If you have had trouble with reliable logging on one of your tablet or phone devices in the past, this is a great option. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi hardware, however there are many options online to purchase in the region you are in. Costs for a basic set up should be under US $40, depending on version purchased. We plan to make continual improvements on this platform:

Piforce-Web

Last update 2017

Piforce-Web is a raspberry pi image which loads creates a wireless access point and re-directs users to a web-page containing images and links to the naomi games which you own, and allows you to netboot these games from your phone/laptop/tablet.

This has the following advantages:

Piforce-Web uses debugmode's triforce tools to load a NetDIMM board with binaries for a Triforce, Naomi, or Chihiro arcade system. No soldering or additional components other than the raspberry pi, a low-cost USB wireless card and a SD card are required, and game selection is via a web page with images.

Using the image is very simple:
