Getting the Code
----------------

.. code::

  git clone https://github.com/dawsonjon/PicoSSTV.git


Documentation
-------------

For technical details refer to the `technical documentation <https://101-things.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sstv_decoder.html>`__.

3D-Printed Enclosure
--------------------

A 3D printed enclosuer can be found `here <https://github.com/dawsonjon/PicoSSTV.git>`__, including stl files and FreeCAD design files.


Install Arduino Pico
--------------------

The SSTV code is written in pure C++, but a demo application is provided as an `Arduino sketch <https://github.com/dawsonjon/PicoSSTV/tree/main/sstv_decoder>`__. The `Arduino Pico <https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico>`__ port by Earle Philhower is probably the easiest way to install and configure a C++ development environment for the Raspberry Pi Pico. Its possible to install the tool and get up-and running with example applications in just a few minutes. Refer to the `installation instructions <https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico?tab=readme-ov-file#installing-via-arduino-boards-manager>`__ and the `online documentation <https://arduino-pico.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__ to get started.
