**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.
**rpitx** is a radio transmitter for Raspberry Pi (B, B+, PI2, PI3B,PI3B+,PIZero,PiZerow) that transmits RF directly to GPIO. It can handle frequencies from 5 KHz up to 1500 MHz.
Before you transmit, know your laws. **rpitx** has not been tested for compliance with regulations governing transmission of radio signals. You are responsible for using your **rpitx** legally.
Rpitx is now based on a general Radio Frequency library : https://github.com/F5OEO/librpitx
_Created by Evariste Courjaud F5OEO. Code is GPL_
# Installation
Assuming a Raspbian Lite installation (stretch) : https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
```sh
git clone https://github.com/F5OEO/rpitx

# 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.
Plug a wire on GPIO 4, means Pin 7 of the GPIO header ([header P1](http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals#General_Purpose_Input.2FOutput_.28GPIO.29)). This acts as the antenna.

# 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)
- **Frequency/Time** files *.ft (generally used to easily implement digital modes)
Usage:

## 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).
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
### Single Side Band modulation (SSB)
**pissb** converts an audio file (Wav 48KHZ mono only!) to [SSB](https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/Single_Sideband_Voice) (Upper Side Band right now) and outputs it
to an IQ file.
Assuming your audio file is in your current working directory:
```sh
@ -55,40 +59,39 @@ 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.
### Broadcat Frequency Modulation (FM)
**pifm** converts an audio file (Wav) to broadcast FM using Christophe Jacquet (F8FTK) PiFmRds project fork : https://github.com/F5OEO/PiFmRds
See Readme from this project for instructions.
### Slow Scan Television (SSTV)
**pisstv** converts an RGB picture to a [SSTV](https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/SSTV) .ft file.
The SSTV module will transmit using the Martin M1 encoding mode.
### 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:
You can then transmit on 144.5Mhz (please set a correct frequency to be legal) :
```sh
./pisstv picture.rgb picture.ft
./pisstv picture.rgb 144.5e6
```
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.

### Fast Simple QSO (FSQ)
**pifsq** allows to send a text with the new [FSQ](https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/FSQ) modulation
### 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
### Weak Signal Propagation Reporter (WSPR)
**wsprrpi** allows to send wspr beacon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSPR_(amateur_radio_software)
It uses a fork from James (https://github.com/JamesP6000/WsprryPi) project and adpated to librpitx for frequency ehancement and cleaner spectrum (to be confirmed)
See https://github.com/F5OEO/WsprryPi for instructions
### Variable Frequency Offset (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)
