Receiving Weather Satellites on a Raspberry Pi or Linux

This NOAA Weather satellite setup on a Raspberry PI 4 using Raspberry OS either 32 or 64 bit was shared by TekMaker on Youtube!

I do the step by step setup for the Raspberry PI OS 32 bit version, but it should equally work for the 64 bit version as I have done it previously. All you need is an SDR, aerial and a Raspberry PI 4 with Raspberry PI OS installed and about an hour to do it.

I show you how to install rtl-sdr drivers, GQRX, GPredict and WxToImg and set up automated recordings.

These instructions will work for any Debian/Ubuntu distro too including 64 bit

Check out more in depth details on TekMakers blog!
