The Transient Array Radio Telescope (TART) is a low-cost aperture synthesis array developed by the elec research group at the University of Otago
The tart software and hardware designs are released as open-source designs and are licensed under the GPL v3.
The authors of the first version of the TART are Tim Molteno, Charles Shaw, Max Scheel and Phil Brown. Enquries about the TART should be addressed to Tim Molteno (tim@elec.ac.nz).
The TART hardware is designed using a combination of KiCAD (newest boards) and CadSoft's Eagle package. These designs are located in the hardware folder.
The TART uses an FPGA to synchronize data from each receiver. The code for this in the Verilog language is in the hardware/papilio/tart_spi/verilog directory
Software for operation is predominantly written in python and contained in the software/python directory. This installs the tart python package that contains all the necessary code.
