RasPiTracker

This is the SW for my raspberry pi model a based high-altitude balloon tracker.

It operates the following sensors on i2c:

  • ublox max7q gps
  • bmp085 barometric sensor
  • adxl345 accelerometer
  • hmc5883 magnetometer

On the SPI:

  • MCP 3002 A/D converter to measure battery voltage

On the pwm output:

  • two DS18B20 one wire thermometers

On the UART:

  • one NTX2B with 300 bd RTTY

On the PWM output:

The picam is used to collect hi resolution images on the sd card as well as video snippets of 2 min length. Low resolution images are transmitted via ssdv. ssdv functions are from https://github.com/fsphil/ssdv

The i2c SW driver comes from here: http://www.byvac.com//downloads/Pi/bcm2835_i2cbb.zip and is needed since the pi hardware does not support clock stretching which is required for the gps chip.
