Discussion for non Joggler hardware / software including software for devices that share similarities with the O2 Joggler Hardware. This section has been opened for discussion of things like the settings up the EMGD drivers on other hardware using Ubuntu, as discussion of this has been banned at the official Ubuntu Forums.
Base Hardware:
1 - RPi2-3 or Joggler
2 - SDR USB dongle
3 - antenna
Started project with a V-Dipole antenna (below picture) which is highly directional and does work.
The V-Dipole antenna is around 21" and looks like a TV antenna in a horizontal plane. It is small.
The antenna below is omnidirectional and a bit larger at 4 feet high.
Base Software
1 - 3 bash scripts
2 - OS can be Jessie, Stretch or Ubuntu
Basically the bash scripts create a schedule when the NOAA weather satellites pass overhead and then captures the pictures sort of like a fax machine line by line via sound. If you listen to the satellite it sounds a bit like a clock with tones.
It is the antenna in this project.
