The Great Outdoors
● Project can been made portable by use of USB Power packs● 30Ah USB Power Pack ($40 to $50)
– https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IN9N2JA● Out of the shack, basement,etc and into
– Parks– Trails– Even mountain top
Whats a Raspberry Pi?● Raspberry Pi is SBC
– Single Board Computer
What is Arduino?– Arduinos are a microcontroller development board.
Some other SBCs
● Nano Pi http://www.nanopi.org/ ● Banana Pi http://www.banana-pi.org/ ● Orange PI http://www.orangepi.org/ ● Beaglebone http://beagleboard.org/
Some other microcontrollers
● PIC http://www.microchip.com/ – Used in Byonic APRS trackers– And now the ATMEL used in Arduinos
● http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/atmega328p
● Freescale http://www.nxp.com/ – Used in Argent Data System APRS trackers
● Basic Stamp http://www.parallax.com/● Lego Mindstorm robots

SBC verses MicrocontrollerGenerally…
● Microcontroller– runs single program– Fast boot– small memory– Slow clock speed– Lower power
● SBC– Multiprogram– Larger memory– Fast but needs more power
Microcontroller Applicatons
● APRS Trackers● Digipeaters● Weather Station● Telemetry● Data collection● Signal Generators
– Or Basically ...
SBC Applications
● Web server● APRS Display● Word processing● Media Center
Interfacing to sensors
Actuators
Programming
● SBC– Python– C/C++
● Arduinos– C/C++ like
