Excellent! Glad you are liking it. Thanks for sharing your script.
Could you please also share details of the particular Linux distribution and version you used, and the kernel version? It might be useful to others in case someone runs into problems trying to run the tools.
Hi @Abhishek, thanks.
I’m running Lubuntu 16.04.4 LTS distrib on my old Dell computer, 2Gb RAM. Kernel is 4.4.0. GQRX to perform the capture.
Forgot to mention :
have to run the script as root (or sudo).
setCurrent 0 is enough in most cases. Just using a very short wire as antenna.
Will try later on Rpi.
Regards.
Oh guys I was able to listen FM broadcast on 600.5 MHz for the first time in my life
Just set : mixer mode, mixer freq to 500MHz, mixer current first to 0 then increased to 2.
Stock antenna connected to RF-IN, SDR connected to RF-OUT.
Signal level is very good, but I can see lot of noise all over the band, I will investigate later on this and try other bands.
Attached screenshot: GQRX is displaying real frequency just because I modified “LO” to -500MHz (upper right corner) but the SDR is really listening on 600.5MHz
So yes, MoRFeus is really easy to use and have a big potential for amateurs. Thanks again and enjoy everyone !
Hi Konrad,
both 32, 64bits and ARM version of the morfeus_tools are not compressed.
You have to make it executable once downloaded :
sudo chmod +x ./morfeus_tool_linux_x64
Since I don’t want to flood this post with screenshots, here is an album, will add few results later : moRFeus - Album on Imgur
I added a scan of the wifi band (2.4GHz mixer set to 2GHz) . Just easy to do.
Btw, the morfeus_tool is working well on Rpi3 latest distrib, good news.
Edit:
tested on Raspberry Pi 3B, latest Raspbian v9 "stretch "(13 March 2018) - kernel 4.9.80-v7+ #1098
Write-Host “‘$Date’ moRFeus has been called with ‘$MsF’ and ‘$MeF’”
While ($true)
{
For ($i=$MsF; $i -le $MeF; $i=($i +3000)) { #we jump with 3000Hz for testing purposes as mentioned in the posts above the unit jumps in 3Hz steps
# Write-Host "Value of i'$i' and slept for '$sleep'ms " TEST CODE TO SEE INFINITE LOOP IN ACTION - This consumes a lot of time.
# We would have to hookup a SDR to see the limits of the amount of commands per second the moRFeus can handle
# Here we would call $moRFeus plus the setFrequency argument with variable $i
Start-Sleep -m $sleep
}
}
So anyone with a unit and Windows could further expand on this if need be, we also need to make a loop that runs from $MsF(moRFeus start Freq) to $MeF(moRFeus end Freq) with millisecond steps(if possible nano second) and then stop when told.
I will try this once I am greeted by my unit after work
As soon as moRFeus is the way you want, you should publish it for the Linux Mint Community under utilities. Several of us Linux Mint users should review it excellent.
It shows up in the new packages blurb.
