Folks<\/p>\n
I’ve just returned from this year’s Dayton Hamvention, and met up with some folks from Virginia Tech who are successfully using the FCD+ with the Raspberry Pi. Briefly, they are using their RPi’s to allow remote reception from LF to 2GHz. They’re using a recent Raspian Wheezy image together with some code to stream the full 192kHz span over UDP (I guess similar to the code\u00a0that I wrote recently for OpenWRT & the FCD+ together with GnuRadio), plus a version of Alex Csete’s FCDCTL to remotely set the frequency.<\/p>\n
Once I have more details I’ll post a how-to here. I’ve long been convinced that the RPi and the FCD\/FCD+ are perfectly do-able, but I had difficulties with earlier Raspian Wheezy releases and\u00a0its USB stack\u00a0as well as the use of Qt to control the FCD\/FCD+ on the RPi, so I’d been waiting for a more stable software platform which it looks like we now have.<\/p>\n
The FCD+ stock is still good so follow this link<\/a> about ordering details, or to order right now here\u2019s a direct link\u00a0straight to the shopping cart<\/a>.<\/p>\n Many thanks, Howard<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Folks I’ve just returned from this year’s Dayton Hamvention, and met up with some folks from Virginia Tech who are successfully using the FCD+ with the Raspberry Pi.
