Airbud

There's no rule that says that UAVs can't measure antenna patterns!

Pi Setup

This on Raspbian Lite OS on a Raspberry Pi 4 and Python 3.7.

# Install prereqs
sudo apt install python3-venv python3-pip librtlsdr-dev \
  rtl-sdr libatlas-base-dev libopenjp2-7 libtiff5

# Set up venv
cd ~/airbud
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Install reqs
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Turning Pi into an Access Point

You want to be able to connect to the Pi wirelessly in the field. You should have the Pi plugged into ethernet to configure this (duh).

Starting it

./bin/airbud

Check it out at http://localhost:5000/.

There's also an example systemd airbud.service file provided if you want it to run as a service.
