Step 3 – Plug the USB on the SDR (Part A) into any USB slot on your Raspberry Pi.
Installing Software and Testing Your Kit
Set up your Raspberry Pi using your SD Card or the SDL SDCard and either use a monitor, ssh into the
Raspberry Pi or use VNC. Use one of the many Raspberry Pi Tutorials to get to this point.
Before you follow these steps, you must have the WeatherRack2 and the Indoor Temperature/Humidity
Sensor assembled and powered up with batteries.
Step 1 - If you are using the SDL SD Card, skip to Step 5.
Step 2 - If you have your own SD Card, continue on to Step 3.
Step 3 – Download the SDL Version of rtl_433. Open a terminal window and type into the command line:
cd ~
git clone
https://github.com/switchdoclabs/rtl_433.git
cd rtl_433
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
These steps will take a while to complete. Make sure that the compile succeeded!
Step 4 – Download the SDL WeatherRack2 Raspberry Pi drivers
cd ~
git clone
https://github.com/switchdoclabs/SDL_Pi_WeatherRack2.git
