AIS base station using Raspberry Pi
This project aims to make a AIS base station using Raspberry Pi. When in production, the base station will send the AIS data to AIS Hub, a free AIS network.
The project is sponsored by University of Helsinki.
At the moment the base station will log all incoming data to text files.
Project will use following hardware components:
- Raspberry Pi rev 1
- BLiSo, a Button and LED module for RaspBi (show free disk & activate shutdown)
- A025 easyAIS receiver
- USB-serial dongle
Software components:
- aisdispatcher, ARM glibc version. Decodes raw NMEA data to AIS information.
- WiringPi2-Python, a Python library to BLiSo
- Install
aisdispatcherto/usr/local/bin - Install
WiringPi2-Python - Execute
