Apptober: 2020 Edition
WHELP I don’t know why I expected October to go differently than the rest of this year but I’m still somehow shocked at how much I did NOT get to. My poor Apptober project may not have gotten the love it deserved this year, but sometimes that’s just how the raspberryPi crumbles.
RTL-SDR: Tinkering With Radio Waves
On the upside I did enjoy my brief dive into the research-hole of learning about Software Defined Radio. AdaFruit especially has some excellent resources that are very accessible to beginners:
Getting Started with RTL-SDR and SDR-Sharp and CubicSDR
Build a radio scanner from a RaspberryPi
I don’t know why tuning into radio stations using software is so much fun considering you can get a handheld radio scanner pretty much anywhere... but somehow it is.
And Now: Sleep
So that’s it, a happy little research project for this year’s Littlest Apptober.
Shoutout to everyone struggling with the motivation and energy to finish projects right now, may your expectations for productivity be tempered with judicious self care 😉
