This repository contains a suite of simple Python scripts to use the output of the RTL-SDR rtl_power
command (mostly for radio astronomy in my case). All scripts are independant and their usage and output are detailed below.
Purpose: to draw a waterfall chart from rtl_power
data. Original script for keenerd.
Usage: basic usage python heatmap.py input_file.csv output.png
, call python heatmap.py -h
for arguments breakdown.
Purpose: to convert the output of rtl_power
to a 1D CSV file (grouping by frequency or time). Original script for keenerd.
Usage: basic usage python flatten.py input_file.csv > input_file_1D.csv
, call python flatten.py -h
for arguments breakdown.
Purpose: to plot a flattened csv file.
Usage: basic usage python plot_flatten.py input_file_1D.csv
