-====== Radio2pi Workshop content ======
-----
-===== Radio2pi toolbox =====
-A general workshop on radio broadcast with a pibox, that deconstructs all the tools used for the pibox, that can be of help to build another architecture, fork the pibox or understand better what's inside.
-===== installation of Raspbian system on R-pi =====
-==== start from scratch ====
-Step 1: Install Raspbian system on the SDcard download the image on your computer https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ insert the sd card in your computer then follow the instructions here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/
-Step 2 : connect to Raspberry on the same network introduce the SD card in the Raspberry pi connect ethernet cable then plug power To connect to Raspberry on the same network : Search devices connected to network on port 22 (default port for SSH connection) on macOSX : $ ifconfig You will get your network ip, ex. 192.168.1
-Then with 'nmap', find devices connected to the network with port 22 open If you don't have nmap on MacOSX, you can get it here : https://nmap.org/dist/nmap-7.12.dmg
-<code>     $ nmap -p 22 --open 192.168.1.*</code>
-Then, find your Raspberry Pi ip on the nmap result and connect to your Raspberry on ssh for example :
-<code>     $ ssh pi@192.168.0.49</code>
-Step 3. raspi-config, update/upgrade
-<code>   $ sudo raspi-config</code>
-Recommended 1. change passwd (optional) 2. international > language, timezone 3. verify boot option B1 console user login
-then update the system (1 mn)
-<code>   $ sudo apt-get update</code>
-and upgrade the system (can last a few minutes)
-<code>   $ sudo apt-get upgrade</code>
-step 4. LIBRAIRIES install utilitaries: libavtools (avconv) sox oggfwd libsndfile1-dev
-<code>   $ sudo apt-get install libav-tools sox oggfwd libsndfile1-dev</code>
-to see the documentation of each library:
-<code>   $ man sox
-   $ man libav-tools ...</code>
-===== PI_FM_RDS =====
-installation & test PiFmRds, explore the fonctions, test with a track mp3, wav, with a stream, listening on several frequencies (limit : 88 to 108 Mhz)
-Step 1: Download PiFmRDS :
-<code>   $ mkdir /home/pi/downloads
-   $ cd /home/pi/downloads
-   $ wget https://github.com/ChristopheJacquet/PiFmRds/archive/master.zip
-   $ unzip master.zip
-   $ cd PiFmRds-master/src
-   $ sudo make clean
-   $ sudo make</code>
-try pifm_rds
-<code>   $ sudo ./pi_fm_rds -freq 108 -audio sound.wav</code>
-try a stream for ex. http://stream.p-node.org/billiejean.mp3 and adapt pi_fm_rds path to your pi it can be different
-<code>   $ avconv -i http://stream.p-node.org/billiejean.mp3 -f wav - | sudo ./pi_fm_rds -freq 108.0 -audio -</code>
-Step 3: Copy a file from your harddrive to play it
-using scp
-check manual
-<code>   $ man scp</code>
-basic syntax :
-from your computer (open a new terminal):
-the structure is : $ scp filepath user@ip:/path
-example:
-<code>   $ scp /home/user/Desktop/sound.wav pi@192.168.1.132:/home/pi/downloads</code>
-be cautious when using it => it as it may erase files !
-then from the pi terminal
-<code>    $ ls path _of_the_folder_where_your_file_is</code>
-About RDS broadcasting: https://github.com/ChristopheJacquet/PiFmRds
-== FM_Transmitter ==
-Step 1: installation and test with fm_transmitter
-<code>   $ cd /home/pi/Downloads/
-   $ sudo apt-get install make gcc g++
-   $ wget https://github.com/markondej/fm_transmitter/archive/master.zip
-   $ unzip master.zip
-   $ cd fm_transmitter-master
-   $ make</code>
-Step 2 : try
-<code>   $ sudo ./fm_transmitter -f 108 -r star_wars.wav</code>
-from a stream read by avconv
-<code>   $ sudo apt-get install libav-tools
-   $ avconv -i http://stream.p-node.org:80/billiejean.mp3 -ac 1 -ar 22050 -f wav - | sudo ./fm_transmitter -f 108.0 -</code>
-FM Transmitter is more stable than PiFmRds, for streams broadcasting. There is a lot of others softwares like these ones. Let see an other one :
-===== RPITX =====
-installation and test rpitx
-RPITX is able to broadcast on sstv, am fm etc .. from 130 kHz to 750 MHz. documentation : https://github.com/F5OEO/rpitx "all you need to do is plug in a wire antenna to Pin 12 (GPIO 18) on the GPIO port and run the PiTx software by piping in an audio file or image for SSTV."
-coderequisite : libsndfile1-dev (already installed before)
-install git
-<code>   $ sudo apt-get install git</code>
-then install ritpx
-<code>   $ cd /home/pi/Downloads/
-   $ git clone https://github.com/F5OEO/rpitx
-   $ cd rpitx
-   $ ./install.sh</code>
-test riptx
-FSQ mode
-<code>   $ sudo ./testfsq.sh
-   $ sudo text fsq => change (nano testfsq.sh repalce test with helloworld for ex.)</code>
-FM Mode broadcast on 108
-<code>   $ sudo ./testfm.sh</code>
-AM Mode
-<code>   $ sudo ./testam.sh</code>
-etc ...
-===== GQRX =====

-===== ESPEAK =====
-installation
-<code>   $ sudo apt-get install espeak</code>
-you can check manual :
-<code>   $ man espeak</code>
-first test:
-<code>   $ espeak "hello world"</code>
-change pitch :
-<code>   $ espeak -p 100 "hello world"</code>
-broadcast voice on radio :
-<code>   $ espeak "hello" --stdout | avconv -i - -f wav - | sudo /home/pi/Downloads/fm_transmitter-master/fm_transmitter -f 108 -</code>
-== MINIMODEM ==
-installation minimodem
-<code>   $ sudo apt-get install minimodem</code>
-you can check manual :
-<code>    $ man minimodem</code>
-you have two configurations :
-Tx => to transmit
-Rx => to receive
-first test (transmit):
-<code>   $ echo "my first test" | minimodem --tx 100</code>
-if it doesn't work, try before :
-<code>   $ pulseaudio --start</code>
-write ouput to a .wav file to transmit :
-<code>   $ echo "this is a test" | minimodem --tx 100 -f /tmp/testminimodem.wav </code>
-listen the file you just wrote :
-<code>   $ aplay /tmp/testminimodem.wav </code>
-decode sound with microphone connected to the sound card (the --tx and --rx must be the same value) :
-<code>   $ minimodem --rx 100</code>
-Broadcasting minimodem :
-to broacast on radio using 'echo', 'minimodem' and pi_fm_rds (you need to use '&&' to execute one command after another.
-play in loop
-<code>   $ echo "test" | minimodem -tx 100 -f /tmp/output.wav && sudo ./pi_fm_rds -freq 108 -audio /tmp/output.wav</code>
-play once
-<code>   $ echo "t aaaaaa e aaaaaa zzz" | minimodem --tx 100 -f /tmp/test.wav && sox /tmp/test.wav -t wav - | sudo ./pi_fm_rds -freq 108.0 -audio -</code>
-decode
-with rtl-sdr piped to sox piped to minimodem, structure is: rtlsdr > sox > minimodem --rx 100 on 108MHzFM
-examples:
-<code>   $ rtl_fm -f 108e6 -M fm -s 352k -A fast -r 44.1k -l 0 -E deemp | sox -t raw -r 44.1k -e s -b 16 -c 1 -V1 - -t wav - | minimodem -f 1 --rx 100</code>

-How to use the input on a usb soundcard to broadcast radio :
-First : plug your card To see if your device is recognized :
-<code>   $ dmesg</code>
-<code>...

- Subdevices: 0/1
- Subdevice #0: subdevice #0</code>
-What is interresting here is : 'card 1' 'device 0'
-So to broadcast :
-<code>   $ arecord -r 44100 -D plughw:1,0 - | sudo /home/pi/Downloads/PiFmRds-master/src/pi_fm_rds -freq 108 -audio -</code>
-To see some devices compatible with Rasperry PI / Raspbian : http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals
-create a stream with cat
-coderequisite : be on the same network select a wav file on your computer and stream the file on a distant computer by using the following command structure : $ cat path/to/the/file | netcat ip_adress_of_the_distant_computer port (any port > 1024)
-example :
-<code>   $ cat /home/Downloads/sound.wav | netcat 192.168.1.127 9876</code>
-on mac netcat = nc
-then listen to it on the computer
-<code>   $ netcat -l 9876 | aplay</code>
-With fm_transmitter we need only one channel :
-<code>   $ netcat -l 9876 | avconv -i - -ac 1 -f wav - | sudo ./fm_transmitter -f 108 -</code>
-OK with pifmrds :
-<code>   $ netcat -l 9876 | sudo Downloads/PiFmRds-master/src/pi_fm_rds -freq 108 -audio -</code>
