OpenTechLab If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time, you’ve probably observed that I’m a big fan of all things open source, especially on the hardware side of things. One area where OSHW seems to be lagging a bit is in the test & measurement department, so it was a very pleasant… Read More Wideband Transmission #10
Arduino in the Cloud I saw a recent post on the Make blog about the new cloud ecosystem for Arduino which has been dubbed Arduino Create. Since this will most likely be the future of Arduino, it seemed wise to get an early look at the platform. It includes quite a few features, but the… Read More Wideband Transmission #9
Another 10 mW WSPR Beacon I enjoy writing up my projects, but it’s much better to get feedback to see that someone was actually able to take my writing and successfully duplicate my project. Via the Etherkit Twitter account, I received this from Tom Hall, AK2B regarding my last posted project: @etherkit 10mw WSPR station… Read More Wideband Transmission #8
More Musings about Etherkit’s Future As I mentioned in my previous post, we are still undergoing a stage of tremendous upheaval in our household. I won’t really know how our new life will shake out quite yet, but I am certain that my time will be more restricted. I think I’ll have a good grasp… Read More Wideband Transmission #7
Happy New Year 2015! 2014 was a bit of a mixed bag here. It’s been a transition year for Etherkit, as I reorganize and reorient the business for a renewed push to get the CC1 and other new products to market. I believe that good things are beginning to happen there. On a personal level,… Read More Wideband Transmission #6
Latest CC1 Progress As you can see from the above photo, I have finished a significant portion of the digital side of the newest CC1 prototype and now I’m on to the receiver section. This weekend I finished my first pass of the audio chain and characterized the gain and frequency response of the chain.… Read More Wideband Transmission #5
It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these. I understand that things have been fairly quiet over here in the last few months, so I wanted to let you all know that I’m not dead yet. I’ve actually been working on Etherkit a fair amount in the background, and that has been eating… Read More Wideband Transmission #4
CC1 Beta Kit For Sale I ended up having one leftover kit from the CC1 beta test and I thought that an experience builder might like to build it. There are a few minor mods to perform to the PCB, so it’s best suited for someone who feels comfortable with that. The (hopefully) final PCB… Read More Wideband Transmission #2
This is the first in a series of blog posts covering a wide variety of topics. In the past, I have used Twitter for my microblogging needs. For a variety of reasons, I’m on a Twitter hiatus right now, so I’ll be using this series to convey some of the disconnected (and possibly connected) random… Read More Wideband Transmission #1
