Description

This is the magnetometer board set originally developed for use with the Tangerine SDR. There are two boards in the kit (remote and attaching to the Raspberry Pi).

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 unrealizble due to the COVID pandemic, Intel buying Altera, and other factors.

You need to supply the RPi.

If you have a Grape 2, I believe that you can connect the remote board directly to it, and contribute magnetometer data that way.  However, we only sell ‘board sets’, and you only need the remote board.  It is true that you could populate a few locations on the non-remote board, and turn it into a remote board.  We don’t have the parts, but the technical info is available.  Add/change some headers, put in a very tiny chip, and I think “Bob’s your uncle.”

The magnetometer can be deployed with an RPi, and it will contribute data to the PSWS data collection network.
