NERP is not exclusively Raspberry Pi, the small computer and embedded systems interest group at Pumping Station:One in Chicago. NERP meets every other Monday at 7pm at Pumping Station:One, 3519 N. Elston Ave. in Chicago.
Syed Karim is the founder of Outernet, which is a satellite-based digital library service. Outernet takes content from the web and broadcasts it from six different geostationary satellites. The file delivery service is free to receive and most of Outernet’s code is open source. Plans to build a Raspberry Pi-based receiver can be found here.
“I’ll have a few slides, more for context, but would prefer if presentation was more of a conversation than a presentation. I’ll go over the general concept, content chain, and various types of receivers, including the newly designed Beaglebone Black derivative, which includes an on board DVB-S tuner, wifi module, and LiFePO4 charging circuit”
