The purpose of the Raspberry Pi Station is to provide an all-in-one ready-to-use station for exterior (or interior) 24/24h, 7/7d use-cases, powered by the facility (AC) or solar panels.
It is not meant to be the cheapest possible solution but rather something that is:
- easy to assemble
- by anyone with basic do-it-yourself skills
- using commodity components readily available from one's preferred shack
- with a slight emphasis on reliability and durability for "heavy-duty" use-cases
The demonstrated use-case is a FLARM receiver for the Open Glider Network (OGN), although it can very easily be adapted to an ADS-B receiver, weather station, etc.
