Description
This is the magnetometer board set originally developed for use with the Tangerine SDR. There are two boards in the kit (‘remote’ (in the ground) and ‘local’ or attaching to the Raspberry Pi). This is the remote-only kit which DOES NOT include the PNICorp RM3100 sensor board. It does include two berg pin strips to fit to the RM3100, the remote magnetometer board, one RJ-45 connector, and two berg pin jumpers. The remote board is fitted with the RM3100 sensor, and buried in the ground in PVC pipe. You supply an RPi, an Ethernet cable, and PVC pipe to bury the remote board with sensor.
TangerineSDR project was inspired by the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI) in support of the HamSCI Personal Space Weather Station Project (PSWS). Unfortunately, the Tangerine became unrealized due to the COVID pandemic, Intel buying Altera, and other factors.
You need to supply the RPi.
If you have a Grape 2, you can connect the remote board directly to it, and contribute magnetometer data that way.
The magnetometer can be deployed with an RPi, and it will contribute data to the PSWS data collection network.
