MeteorRadiometer | A low-cost meteor radiometer

MeteorRadiometer is a Python library typically used in Internet of Things (IoT), Arduino applications. MeteorRadiometer has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. However MeteorRadiometer build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

the goal of this project is to make a low-cost radiometer for fireball observations. the current goal is to have 16-bit data from a photodiode sampled at 500 hz which would show high-frequency characteristics in the fireball’s lightcurve. you can find more information (imc paper, presentation, schematics) in the "docs" folder. feel free to contact me if you have any questions. current status: sampling the radiometer at 500 hz with 16-bits of data. the data is recorded via a python script, and the 10.24 seconds of recorded data (time equivalent to 256 video frames @25fps) is saved to disk or shown on a graph. the software scripts are still very "rough" and not user friendly. some knowledge with the arduino platform is required - so i would recommend you try out some basic arduino stuff first if you haven’t already. if you have the arduino development software installed, you need to put the "ad770x-master" library from the github page to "c:\program files\arduino\libraries" and then upload the "meteorradiometerarduino.ino" to your arduino uno device. here is the link to one raw night of observations in the csv format: you can
