The CISSTM Satellite (Version 2), this is our satellite created using Python (and possibly a bit of C). Our satellite is capable of getting the distance of an object using the RSSI and the light speed.
Download the project
git clone https://github.com/CISSTM/SatelliteV2.git
cd SatelliteV2
Firstly, install pip3 (the Python package manager).
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install python3-pip
Then install the requirements.
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
If there's a permission error, then you could use:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Run the satellite software by using:
python3 src/main.py
We've build our satellite using these components:
- Raspberry Pi Zero WH
- APC220 (should work with any serial 433 sender)
- BMP280
- BNO055
- DS1307 (for getting accurate time, not used with python, but connected to raspbian directly)
- RF69HCW (for localizing efforts)
