You don't want to be feeding duff data into the system. I have tonight uploaded a version of dump This is a work in progress - the suffix to the file indicates the date it's posted. The following information is mostly from Malcolm Robb, attavionics btconnect com. Please note that this information started as notes in Please let me know of anything you find which needs updating, or could be better explained. It works well, and doesn't provide a significant extra load on the Raspberry Pi. What matters is getting that antenna as high as possible with a clear view all round, ideally outside and not in the loft. Other home-made antennas: coaxial collinearwire collinear. Graham Leighton has reported good results with this home-made antennaand Moonraker and DPD will sell you antennas as well. By the way, don't forget the antenna! The supplied antenna with the TV receiver dongle is not optimised for 1. The Raspberry Pi can meet the requirements for such a small computer, and it's a fun project to learn something about the Raspberry Pi, and a little about Linux. You could also use a USB extender cable but these can be problematic and have length limitations. Typically, you will have a Windows PC running Plane Plotter, but you will want to get the antenna as high as possible with as clear a view as possible to maximise the range you can receive. In the picture above, I show my own Raspberry Pi which I have fitted with a GPS receiver for highly accurate timekeepingalthough this is not essential for this application.Ĭlick for a full-sized image.
You'll find some more notes in Sopwith's blog post. This note is about using a low-cost TV receiver dongle and a Raspberry Pi as a very low cost remote receiver for PlanePlotter and similar programs. Click the picture for a full-resolution animation. PlanePlotter from COAA is a well-established program taking input from a variety of receivers, and which can also operate with Internet sharing.īelow is a sample animated screenshot kindly provided by John Locker showing what PlanePlotter can do.
