AndAMR is an Android app that allows you to pull data from RTLAMR (An itron ERT monitoring application) and display it in a nice ScrollView on your screen.

We accomplish this by sending the RTLAMR data via UDP packets from Userland (an app that allows us to run a chroot linux environment on our phone) to the app running on the same device. Although you could run it from a remote system if you wanted to.

Setup is fairly straight forward, you can check out the video but essentially do this.

  • Install Userland or another chroot app
  • Start an RTL-SDR blog driver app with port 1234
  • Run the following script

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SarahRoseLives/AndAMR/master/run_in_userland.sh
chmod +x run_in_userland.sh
sh run_in_userland.sh
