Hi All


Having an initial juice board running .... 

i am thinking of a sort of reference SBC running @Linux to support the higher sample rates and number of rx slices of the radioberry.

Searching for a better RPI...

Are there ideas?

How about a Tinker Board 2S ?

Hi Johan,
Maybe it's worth paying attention to the ODROID N2 +.

A year ago I tested N2+ and the declared higher performance than RPI4 was confirmed.
The purchase prices for N2 and PI4 are similar.

PS. Skimmer operators from Germany praised its use.

Hi All,


I took some time searching for a computer for running the radioberry together with the juice board. 

Decided to go for a Refurbished mini pc

ThinkCentre M900

Processor:Intel Core i5
Processor type:i5-6500T CPU @ 2.50GHz
Internal 8GB


Dimensions (W x D x H)
(inches) : 1.36" x 7.20" x 7.05"
(mm) : 34.5 x 182.9 x 179

6* USB 3.0

Audio in and out.

Making the computer dual boot; using W10 and Ubuntu linux.

Also a big advantage is to make use of a large computer screen; also a screen useable for normal
computer work no need of additional (small) screens. 


For controlling the radio i bought an MIDI controller a behringer cmd pl-1; active support 
to use with pihpsdr and other software!


The juice board is now also working with the radioberry preamp board (setting bias and measuring temperature and 
current) ; running @W10 and Ubuntu.

The initial version gateware can be found at https://github.com/softerhardware/Hermes-Lite2/tree/master/gateware

C-part is coming soon... like to refactor some before publishing.

Next weeks i will make a second version of the juice board. 

Hope this makes sense...at least for me!
