  • Blog 6 – Developing for the Red Pitaya STEMlab 125-14 PRO Gen 2

    obones

    In my roadtest application, I suggested that I could go as far as running rtl_433 directly on the RedPitaya, inside its Linux OS and talking directly to the FPGA like the original apps are doing. For this, one would need to compile both the FPGA part...

    One of the easiest way to exercise the analog frontend of the Red Pitaya STEMlab 125-14 PRO Gen 2 is by feeding it a known signal and see how it is perceived. For this,t he oscilloscope app is the best candidate. After starting the app, I plugged the...
