I have been using the Wigle Android app for a while now but wanted to build a Kali/Raspberry/Kismet device. I have a spare Raspberry Pi3B and GPS unit so just needed a battery pack and some USB WiFi dongles.
First attempts were recorded to USB memory stick but later replaced by configuring the device as an access point and using SSL to login and retrieve files.
I have made it more compact and removed the USB hub which was unstable. I feel like there should be an SDR included in here ?
Stopped off this weekend at Ampthill Access Point. OHL supply.
Bit more work today tinkering and tiding up the flight cases.
I have replaced and combined the Radio Cabinet and the Radio Bag with flight cases.
The cabinet took up a lot of space and was near impossible to move around due to weight. I can now divide the equipment, and weight, up into several flight cases. Change is frequent and its now a lot easier to move the cases around and modify the configurations etc.
The current three sections are Mesh, Radio and Network. “Mesh” at the top has the AREDN Node and the Raspberry Pi Servers and the Mesh Mikrotik Router. “Radio” in the middle has the SIMOCO radios and the Yeasu FT-857D. “Network” at the bottom has the Main Mikrotik Router, the Dev Servers and the switches.
Whilst out walking in the neighbourhood I think I found one of the City Fibre equipment cabs (first 2 pics). Not to be confused with the smaller fibre distribution cabs (second 2 pics). Always poke my camera in an open cab !
Not of birds or pretty views but things of interest to me. I wonder if others do the same ?
I have switched off nearly everything locally. Disappears as soon as aerial is disconnected so isn’t internal or coming through the power lines. Arrrgh !
Not as easy as I first thought receiving NOAA images. Going to need more fiddling I think.
Why do you have to disassemble the whole dash to get to the wiper wheel house ?!!
