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). This is the full kit which includes the PNICorp RM3100 sensor board, two berg pin strips to fit to the RM3100, the two board magnetometer board set, two RJ-45 connectors, a tall 2×20 berg stand-off header for an RPi (from Adafruit, typically ID:1979, https://www.adafruit.com/product/1979), and two berg pin jumpers. Of the board pair, the local board is fitted to the RPi board, connected via an Ethernet cable to the remote board fitted with the RM3100 sensor, buried in the ground. 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, 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.
