I2C Programming & Scope Detection

Introduction Recently I have been working with various sensors such as a magnetometer, gyroscope and accelerometer for use in navigational systems (Ref.1). All these sensors are accessed using the I2C protocol. Over the past several years I have worked with various HF synthesizers that were also programmed via I2C. I used a Tektronix TDS210 digital… Continue reading I2C Programming & Scope Detection

OpenPlotter – Navigation System on RPi

Introduction OpenPlotter (Ref.1) is a Linux based Operating System that runs on the Raspberry Pi computer. The Raspberry Pi is extremely popular in the education field. It is well documented, compact and requires very little power. This makes it ideal to form the basis of an electronics navigation system for a small craft. Installation The… Continue reading OpenPlotter – Navigation System on RPi
