**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

# 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. The optimal length of the wire depends the frequency you want to transmit on, but it works with a few centimeters for local testing.

## 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)

## 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.

||||

@ -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.

||||
### 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)
