      Hello guys,

      I would like to know how can we generate RF waves with customizable frequency. For example the generic RF modules which we get in the market operates at a frequency of 433MHz. But I wanna make a transmitter and receiver pair that can operate on freqeuncy that can be customized by me. How can I do it? Please guide me. Thanks in advance..!!

        Hi @kowshik1729,

        This is an interesting question, Traditionally we are using mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc to build a radio communication system and it's tightly coupled with hardware. And there are many types of frequency modulation like FM, AM, FSK, LoRa etc.

        (Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio)

        To generate a different band we need to use a specific combination of mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulator, also most of the scenario we only use a specific frequency to communicate in cost-efficient ways like 2.4 GHz for WiFi and Bluetooth but we use different modulations like GFSK in BT Classic and DSSS, FHSS in IEEE802.11 etc. And building many different combinations of mixers, filters, amplifiers are not cost-effective and economic.But using the SDR (Software Defines Radio ) we can achieve this,

        A basic SDR system may consist of a personal computer equipped with a sound card, or other analogue-to-digital converter, preceded by some form of RF front end. Significant amounts of signal processing are handed over to the general-purpose processor, rather than being done in special-purpose hardware (electronic circuits). Such a design produces a radio which can receive and transmit widely different radio protocols (sometimes referred to as waveforms) based solely on the software used. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software-defined_radio)

        So as an answer to your question, yes we can generate radio frequency but it's high cost and not economical, also with the help of the SDR system we can solve the issues.

        You can also try SDR via online using https://eshail.batc.org.uk/nb/ , it was hosted at Goonhilly Earth Station in Cornwall, England.

          In the world of advanced optics and laser technology, Optical Grade diamonds are the new standard. Made with CVD (chemical vapor deposition) technology, these lab grown diamonds have high clarity, thermal conductivity and light transfer. The USA is leading the way with these diamonds, where industries from aviation to telecom have already used them. Not like mined diamonds, Optical Grade CVD diamonds are engineered for perfection, for high-tech applications across industries.

          What Are Optical Grade Diamonds?

          Optical Grade diamonds are CVD diamonds For very high precision and very pure materials.

          Ultra-High Transparency – Near perfect light transmission across UV, visible and IR spectra. Superior Thermal Conductivity – Fast heat dissipation for high power lasers. Minimal Inclusions & Defects – Critical for optical clarity and performance.

          In the USA, industries are moving fast to Optical Grade lab grown diamonds for their reliability and performance. Interested in Optical Grade diamonds for your application? Learn how CVD technology is changing the face of optics in the USA!

          Signal Hunt: An ESP-NOW Workshop & Treasure Hunt

          Hello everyone! We’re planning on organizing a two-phase event that explores device-to-device communication using ESP-NOW protocol :

          Workshop: Participants learn to build and program ESP32-based receivers with a web interface that directly exchange signal data using ESP-NOW for RSSI-based distance approximation.

          Signal Hunt Competition: Equipped with these receivers, participants will track hidden ESP32 transmitters scattered around the campus, each with distinct point values.

          Current hardware setup:
          Reciever(one per team):
          Esp32 ~ 360rs
          9v battery = 20rs
          9v battery clip= 5rs
          buck converter (MP1584 or LM2596) ~ 45rs
          Perfboard + male to female berg strip ~30rs
          Total per reciever ~ 460rs
          Transmitters :6
          Components same as recievers = 460*6~2760rs

          (using non-rechargeable batteries to reduce cost,
          will using a 7805 voltage regulator IC be a viable way to reduce cost further?)

          We’d love your suggestions on ways to simplify hardware, reducing the cost, secure partnerships and funding, or enhance the interactive elements. Thank you, looking forward to any ideas that can help make the event engaging and successful!

          I am trying to set up a janus webrtc to stream an RTSP to an HTML page.
          I have followed the getting-started steps by Janus-gateway official github repo.

          Since I am new to web development. I do not understand how to host the Webrtc server. can anyone guide me to set up an HTML page that can display a video stream from an RTSP server using janus webrtc?

        • @zainmuhammed Can try capturing the GPS when the device is starting the loop instead after joining the LoRaWAN and see?

          You can put the GPS value on top of the loop or setup function.

          Also, what kind of gateway are you using? Is it configured okay, OTA is done?

        • @salmanfaris Today I tried after connecting a 18650 cell,
          WhatsApp Image 2024-04-12 at 10.40.06_c7d1947e.jpg WhatsApp Image 2024-04-12 at 10.40.05_897b8bb6.jpg
          Data getting in console after integration of both lora and gps.
          3f45cfe7-0061-4328-8c55-ef0a73385203-image.png
          here you can see that GPS value is 0,0. also in my previous post you can see that GPS value is not reading.
          Also the status LED is active after it is connected to the satellite.
