Raspberry Pi Book Hack

Nothing new here, but I was very inspired  by unusual cases others have put together.  This is one of those ‘book safe’ style books you can get at home decor stores (cough, cough, Old Time Pottery).

I dremel’d a 3 inch by 3/4 inch slot in the long side ‘page-edge’ of the fake book.

I’ll warn you,  this particular “book” was made of  dense particle board material and seriously took a while to saw, drill then gouge out the opening. I’ll look for a lighter material for my next attempt. I couldn’t bring myself to deface a real book for this. :)

This will eventually interface with my SDR-IQ using opensource code from the Ghpsdr3-Alex project.

Edit: Looks like the Pi Won’t be powerful enough for handling the SDR-iq, but I have an RTLSDR on the way to take a gander at that, Wish me luck!
