**rpitx** is a radio transmitter for Raspberry Pi (B, B+, PI2, PI3 and PI zero) that transmits RF directly to GPIO. It can handle frequencies from 5 KHz up to 500 MHz.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
# Installation
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/F5OEO/rpitx
|
||||
cd rpitx
|
||||
# make sure to have access to the internet to download packages
|
||||
# or download and install them manually (libsndfile1-dev and imagemagick)
|
||||
./install.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Hardware
|
||||
Plug a wire on GPIO 18, means Pin 12 of the GPIO header ([header P1](http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals#General_Purpose_Input.2FOutput_.28GPIO.29)). This acts as the antenna. The optimal lenght of the wire depends the frequency you want to transmit on, but it works with a few centimeters for local testing.
|
||||
|
||||
# Short manual
|
||||
## General
|
||||
**rpitx** is the main software to transmit. It allows to transmit from:
|
||||
- **IQ** files *.iq (can be generated by external software like [GNU Radio](http://gnuradio.org/)).
|
||||
- **Frequency/Time** files *.ft (generally used to easily implement digital modes)
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
```
|
||||
rpitx [-i File Input][-m ModeInput] [-f frequency output] [-s Samplerate] [-l] [-p ppm] [-h]
|
||||
-m {IQ(FileInput is a Stereo Wav contains I on left Channel, Q on right channel)}
|
||||
{IQFLOAT(FileInput is a Raw float interlaced I,Q)}
|
||||
{RF(FileInput is a (double)Frequency,Time in nanoseconds}
|
||||
{RFA(FileInput is a (double)Frequency,(int)Time in nanoseconds,(float)Amplitude}
|
||||
{VFO (constant frequency)}
|
||||
-i path to File Input
|
||||
-f float frequency to output on GPIO_18 pin 12 in khz : (130 kHz to 750 MHz),
|
||||
-l loop mode for file input
|
||||
-p float frequency correction in parts per million (ppm), positive or negative, for calibration, default 0.
|
||||
-d int DMABurstSize (default 1000) but for very short message, could be decrease
|
||||
-c 1 Transmit on GPIO 4 (Pin 7) instead of GPIO 18
|
||||
-h help (this help).
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Modulation samples
|
||||
Some modulations are included in this repository and can be easily extended. These scripts create files which can be used by rpitx.
|
||||
Some output in IQ (like ssb) other in FT (like sstv).
|
||||
|
||||
### SSB modulation
|
||||
**pissb** converts an audio file (Wav 48KHZ mono only!) to SSB (USB right now) and outputs it
|
||||
to an IQ file.
|
||||
Assuming your audio file is in your current working directory:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
./pissb audio48mono.wav ssbIQ.wav
|
||||
```
|
||||
You could then transmit it on 50MHz (please set a correct frequency to be legal)
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo ./rpitx -m IQ -i ssbIQ.wav -f 50000 -l
|
||||
```
|
||||
A sample script `testssb.sh` is included.
|
||||
|
||||
### FM modulation
|
||||
**pifm** converts an audio file (Wav, 48KHz, 1 channel, pcm_s16le codec) to Narrow band FM (12.5khz excursion) and outputs it to a .ft file.
|
||||
Assuming your audio file is in your current working directory
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
./pifm audio48mono.wav fm.ft
|
||||
```
|
||||
You could then transmit it on 100MHZ (please set a correct frequency to be legal)
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo ./rpitx -m RF -i fm.ft -f 100000 -l
|
||||
```
|
||||
A sample script : `testfm.sh` is included.
|
||||
|
||||
### SSTV
|
||||
**pisstv** converts an RGB picture to an SSTV .ft file.
|
||||
If you have a JPEG picture 320x256 you can convert it to an RGB picture with:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
imagemagick convert -depth 8 picture.jpg picture.rgb
|
||||
```
|
||||
You can then transform it to a .ft file with:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
./pisstv picture.rgb picture.ft
|
||||
```
|
||||
And then transmit it to 100MHZ (please set a correct frequency to be legal)
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo ./rpitx -m RF -i picture.ft -f 100000
|
||||
```
|
||||
A sample script `snapsstv.sh` grabs a picture from a PiCamera and then transmits it on 50.105 MHz.
|
||||
|
||||
### FSQ
|
||||
**pifsq** allows to send a text with the new FSQ modulation
|
||||
It is still under development.
|
||||
A sample script `testfsq.sh` allows to send a text with FSQ
|
||||
|
||||
### VFO
|
||||
A **VFO** mode is provided to allows precise frequency resolution.
|
||||
For example to set a carrier on 100MHz (please set a correct frequency to be legal)
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo ./rpitx -m VFO -f 100000
|
||||
```
