Description
This is the magnetometer board set for the Tangerine SDR project initiative. There are two boards in the kit (remote and attaching to the Raspberry Pi).
This product is only the bare board pair, 2 1×7 berg pin headers, and 2 RJ45 connector. You must purchase or acquire a PNICorp RM3100 board on your own. You must supply an RPi unit (3 or 4 should work well…)
You likely will need a tall 2×20 berg stand-off header for an RPi (from Adafruit, typically ID:1979, https://www.adafruit.com/product/1979). We supply this part with the full kit, but not the bare board.
When you place a PNICorp RM3100 on this board, you have a fully functioning MagPi unit.
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.”
This special sale price should be of interest to Grape 2 people, perhaps.
The magnetometer can be deployed with an RPi, and it will contribute data to the PSWS data collection network.
