P-HAB ( High-Altitude Balloon) & GPS Tracker

 for Raspberry Pi - 3B B+ Pi Zero, Pi Zero W

 
 

1. uBLox Max-7Q  with Radiometrix NTX2B

2. uBlox NEO-M8T  with Radiometrix NTX2B

3. uBlox NEO-M8T  with Radiometrix MTX2

 

The NEO-M8T concurrent GNSS modules deliver high integrity, precision timing in demanding applications world-wide. Support for BeiDou and GLONASS constellations enables compliance with national requirements. Enhanced sensitivity and concurrent dual-constellation reception extend coverage and integrity to challenging signal environments. Survey-in and single SV timing reduce timing jitter, even at low signal levels, and enable synchronization to be maintained with as few as one single satellite in view. Support for low duty cycle operation reduces power consumption for battery-powered applications.
u-blox timing products include timing integrity measures with Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) and continuous phase uncertainty estimation. They feature high dynamic range radios with both analog and digital interference mitigation, supporting applications in wireless communications equipment.

Highlights:
• Concurrent reception of GPS/QZSS, GLONASS, BeiDou
• Market leading acquisition and tracking sensitivity
• Optimized accuracy and availability with Survey-in and single-satellite timing
• Minimized power consumption with low duty-cycle operation
• Maximized reliability with Integrity monitoring and alarms
• Multi-GNSS Raw data, IMES Message data

GPS antenna & FM antenna &

USB SDR Encoder (RTL2832U-based DVB-T devices (RTL-SDR)

 


the eduhab.py send GPS location, tmp102, DS18B20, BMP085, DHT22 information through FM UHF Transmitter,  the eduhab.py have 3 commands

eduhap.py -s   short data stream mode  send GPS location and BMP085 Temp only ,

                        but all logs save to SD card

eduhab.py -p             send data  also take photos every 30sec

eduhab.py -c  prid      change the data stream "twick" to "prid"

  Tracking using a SDR software defined radio (SDR)io (SDR)

 

  Run sdrsharp.exe and you will see the following window:

 

 

 

 open DL-Fldigi, click Configure → Sound Card Click Capture → SDR(Virtual Audio   Cable)

  You should now be able to click on the payload as normal and decode :
