Arduino Satellite Communication

Ardusat is an arduino based nanosatellite based on the cubesat standard.

Arduino satellite communication.

Archive for the satellite communication category. I need one serial interface for a gps module and one for the satellite modem. Gnd gnd vcc 3 3v ce d7 cs d8 sck d13 mosi d11 miso d12. The general public will be allowed to use these arduinos and sensors for their own creative purposes while they are in space.

You will need a clear view of the sky satellite communication typically won t work indoors although i have successfully sent messages from indoors very near a window. It s important that the nrf24l01 module s vcc pin is not connected to the arduino 5v pin as this will damage the nrf24l01 module. Jul 27 2015 03 42 pm. It is a 3 3v device.

My arduino program just lets you input a number from 1 100 using a potentiometer to show how data can be transmitted. Iridium two way satellite communication board easy global comms sep 07 2012 11 42 am just a quick note to say we ve just launched an arduino board called the rockblock a low cost two way satellite messaging unit which can be easily integrated into arduino projects using usb or serial interfaces. Planet arduino is or at the moment is wishing to become an aggregation of public weblogs from around the world written by people who develop play think on arduino platform and his son. Hello i want to do a project with satellite communication and i search for a shield that can send and receive messages via satellite communication.

Do u know some shield the i do not. Arduino is the language of makers. If you ve never coded before we ve included a full step by step guide on how to program your satellite. We ve been having lots of fun over the last few weeks playing with a revolutionary new satellite communications device by rock 7 called the rockblock i say revolutionary because when you hook it up to an arduino and this is super easy you can inexpensively send and receive short burst messages for the first time from anywhere in the planet.

For power i m using a portable 5v supply. I used a samd21 microcontroller the sparkfun samd21 mini breakout board is a great choice because it is more powerful than a simple arduino uno and it has more hardware serial interfaces. The rockblock provides the 9602 with an antenna and an 0 1 header with power and data connections. The header includes an ftdi compatible serial interface that you can connect directly to almost any microcontroller or via ftdi basic breakout to a computer s usb port.

Mycomm handheld satellite messenger. Your ambasat is fully arduino compatible and code is written using c c. You might want one for serial communication to some other device too. We will write two different arduino sketches for this project.

At the heart of rockblock is an iridium 9602 satellite modem.
