TechMinds: Building a DIY Standalone SDR with a Raspberry Pi, 5-Inch TouchScreen, SDRplay RSPdx and the PiHPSDR Software

Over on the TechMinds YouTube channel, Matt has uploaded a video showing how he created a DIY standalone SDR using an Elecrow 5-inch touchscreen display, Raspberry Pi 5 and an SDRplay RSPdx. The software he uses is PiHPSDR, which is compatible with the SDRplay and RTL-SDR dongles.

In the video, Matt shows how to set up the hardware, the Raspberry Pi OS, and the required software and drivers. He then shows the setup running PiHPSDR and the various settings and features available in the software.

Yesterday i installed pihpsdr, exactly following the instruction in this video. The install gave no trouble but when i open the icon and search for my rspdx it is not recognized. With command lsusb i see the rspdx in the list…and with sdrconnect there are no issues. So….do i need another api file or what? Does someone has ideas? 73 Gert PE1RTC

Hello OM…I was looking for another RPi project using an SDR dongle and I found your video! This looks like a great DIY. I wonder if it could be output to a flat screen TV? All the best. 73 de wa4chq

I suspect that it’s only for small screens. 73
