WooHOO! I just did it on 3 of my Pi's! 2 Pi4's * a Pi3. It worked, after I made sure I edited the script to eliminate SDRPlay (I use RTL-SDR's)... I didn't have need to install the SDRPlay api to get my stuff going. Thanks for a great instructional vid. :-)
-
Thanks Kevin! I compiled Sdr++ on my RPI4 and it now works with my SDRPlay RSP2.

Hi Kevin, Thank you for this video. I failed to get the modified script to run so I followed your Command Line instructions which worked great. Like you, I found some dependencies missing but through your guidance worked my way through the problems. I now have SDR++ running on my Pi4. Thanks again. Brian.

I absolutely love these types of videos from you!

Great video. Your screen capture software is using 93% of one core, so SDR++ should be OK in normal use. Also, your Raspbian is so old that it's no longer called that! It's now Raspberry Pi OS. The new OS also supports booting from an SSD drive on a Pi 4, which is much faster than a SD card. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks so much!

Worked perfectly with the quick mods you mentioned to the library. Installed on Pi 4 with a 4β touchscreen. Thanks for the video and instruction.

Kevin, thanks for making this happen. It's nice to see a "real" usefull and comprehensive SDR control program running on a Pi4. I had SDR++ running on Win10 and the Pi version is a real asset. Thanks to you and Alexandre for all the efforts!

Despite being an absolute beginner to Linux/Raspberry I got it to work. I connected the ADALM Pluto. After reducing the bandwidth to 1Mhz, reducing the audio rate and disabling the waterfall the Pluto is working fine. The Arm processor can not keep up with the default settings. Greetings from Greece.

Thank you for your efforts here Kevin, I will try this on my Pi as a result of your encouragement
-
Love it! Thanks for sharing Kevin. Got to love Linux and got to love those Pi's!!
-
Thanks for your work & working with the author! This makes my day!
-
Thank you Kevin for a job well done. It's a pleasure to have a great SDR program running on my Pi 4 working with my AirspyHF+.
-
Excellent video. Thanks for fleecing all these things out!
-
Thank you for putting this together, I cant wait to do this for my sdrplay duo.

1/21/2022 - I don't see anything referencing his GIT in his RPI script. Glad you emphasized about what you added and included your changes in the description of your video here.

7:29 the terminal offers 'tab completion', you can just type the first few characters of a filename (enough to uniquely identify the file) and press the TAB key and the terminal supplies the rest of the filename ;-)

Hi, enjoyed the video Kevin, many thanks. Still learning here. From Nr Liverpool UK

Thanks for video building sdrpp, regards from Argentina, Bahia Blanca. LU4EOU

Haha Ironically.. I wrote a script to do this also.. I mentioned to Alexandre he should have an RPI build script. π He's pretty smart.. very busy.. Definitely support the SDR++ Patreon

πππππ Great! Thanks!
