Release of version 1.2.2 of the muondetector software.
Some of its features are:

  • controlling the muondetector board that is designed to sit on a raspberry pi
  • creating few nanosecond precise timestamps of signals using a GPS module
  • sending the data to a server
  • monitoring and configuring the daemon via a GUI
  • showing satellite positions and availability, signal rates, pulse height spectrum and more in the GUI

How to install:
You can compile it yourself obviously. But if you don't want to, there are some binaries for the raspberry pi (armhf 32bit processor architecture), for the latest Ubuntu (64 bit) version and for windows (64 bit).

For windows you can download the zipped muondetector-gui folder from here.

For the raspberry pi you can add our repository. Just type in the console:
wget -qO - https://archive.muonpi.org/muondetector.public.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c "echo deb https://archive.muonpi.org/raspbian buster main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/muondetector.list"

For amd64 Ubuntu you can install the gui:
wget -qO - https://archive.muonpi.org/muondetector.public.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c "echo [arch=amd64] deb https://archive.muonpi.org/ubuntu bionic main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/muondetector.list"

When there is a new version available you will automatically install it when you do 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade'.

or install from files:
Download the shared libraries named "libmuondetector-shared_1.2.2_....deb" and "libpaho-mqttpp_1.2.2...deb" for every system involved (not needed for windows).
Download the daemon for the raspberry pi named "muondetector-daemon_1.2.2....deb".
You may download the GUI named "muondetector-gui_1.2.2...deb" for whatever system you want to use.
To install a ".deb" file just use "sudo apt install ./[package-name].deb" or on older systems "sudo gdebi ./[package-name].deb".
Using this method: install the shared libraries first (not needed for windows), then install the other packages.
Have fun!
