But you can also use the name of the Pi in many cases, this can be under preferences and Raspberry Pi configuration in the host name box.Link / Image posts are now sent to the Mod Queue before appearing. Likely starts with a .x or 10.x.x.x this is what you want. This will give you an IP4 and an IP6 address. You you do not know your IP address type:
Next map the drive as you would normally on your PC or Mac, you should be able to navigate to your newly created share.
Therefore the above permission give FULL control.įollow the instructions to set password. Restart what is needed using the following so changes take: Therefore 7 is the combination of permissions 4+ 2+ 1 so can read, write, and also can execute, 5 is 4+ 0+ 1 read, no write, but can execute. You can always go back to this file to make changes and to add other shares or change the share permissions.įor chmod ( permissions) just remember that 4 stands for reading rights, 2 stands for write, 1 stands for execute, and 0 stands for denied or no access. Use the arrow to navigate down, Control-X to exit and Y to save. The name shared can be replace with the name you want to use. Next edit the config file:Īdd these lines at the BOTTOM of the file: This can be named anything and location can be different as well, just make sure you remember it. Next you either create the share or make note of the location you want to share in the next step.
Sudo apt-get install samba samba-common-bin To add a Samba Server to your Raspberry Pi is pretty straight forward: If you would like to share a folder on your Raspberry Pi to be able to access it on your PC or Mac, you will need to install something called Samba. If you are like me, and you just let this unit run all the time dedicated to decoding images are they are coming in, you should likely map a folder to your regularly used PC/Mac so you can view your downloads anytime without having to login to your pi all the time.
If you want to take this a bit further, here is info on how to add Meteor-M 2 deoder to it using GNU radio: Once you reboot, schedule per instructions on the original setup page, you will have 3 images in the decodes folder plus the Wav audio file. You can call this up with sudo nano receive_and_process_satellite.sh once you are in the /home/pi/weather/predict folder if you follow the setup via the link above. usr/local/bin/wxtoimg -m $-map.png -e HVCT $3.wav $3_HVCT.png In the file receive_and_process_satellite.sh change the last line before fi to this: In the script, make the following changes if you want to have the color images from the NOAA satellites: Note: Since this was written, predictlooks a little different. I have based by install in large part on this instruction set but made a few changes/improvements to it. The Airspy (~ $100) works a LOT better of course.
I had good luck with $15 dongles of course some may work better. Construction of the Antenna type I use, can be found here:Īn SDR dongle will be needed, nothing fancy. Some said they had luck with the V-Dipole (Think of an old fashioned TV rabbit ear antenna), but I had terrible luck with these personally. I use a home built QFH ( Quadrifilar Helix) Antenna with a preamp but you can accomplish this with a lot less. There is a lot of information about this on the web. You will also need a capable antenna to receive. My 2 cents, play it safe! You will also need a way to power it (5V power supply or USB port with enough current) and perhaps a case if you are building it for long term use. Be careful with larger cards as they are not officially supported and I had issues with running 64GB cards. I would recommend a 32GB Micro SD storage card as you will need to store the images and so on. To build a NOAA weather satellite you will need a Raspberry Pi 3 or better. Much like Satellite TV satellites such as DirecTV and so on. The GOES Satellites are geostationary, meaning, they appear to be in a constant position in the sky as they move at the same speed as earth. Needless to say, you are dealing with more losses and different hardware on the GOES. NOAA satellites are around 137MHz and GOES satellites are around 1.6GHz range.
NOAA Works on a lower frequency then GOES, less hardware is required, antenna can be built at home from wire coat hangers (not kidding) or a single trip to home depots Plumbing department. These builds receive IMAGES of the weather vs. If you want to do this withouta Raspberry Pi, check out my other page on how to receive NOAA Weather Satellites here: The NOAA weather satellites are the generation weather satellites prior to the GOES satellites (See build article for Raspberry Pi GOES Satellite receiver) but is actually easier and cheaper to get started with and can be done many ways and on any budget.
