      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.

          Hi everyone,

          I recently left my 9-to-5 corporate job after almost a decade to chase something I’ve always dreamed about—starting my own food business. It started small: just a cloud kitchen running out of a rented space, late nights testing recipes, early mornings handling orders, and zero regrets so far.

          Now, with some loyal customers, decent growth, and a lot of love from the community, I’m slowly working toward turning this little kitchen into a walk-in café. It’s a scary, exciting step—but I want to do it right.

          That brings me to this post. As we grow, I want our team to look as professional as we feel. We’re in the market for good-quality chef coats for kitchen staff—something that’s breathable, durable, easy to wash, and doesn't look sloppy after a long day. Style matters too, since we’ll be customer-facing soon.I found a brand called Lintex online. They seem pretty legit, offer kitchen uniforms, long sleeve chef coats, and even frontdesk uniforms (which could be useful later). Their site looks solid, but I’ve never ordered uniforms before, and I’m a little nervous about fabric quality and fit.

          Has anyone here ordered from Lintex before? Would love to hear your suggestions. Thanks in advance!

          I'm an Oral-Maxillofacial Surgeon working with a trauma hospital and academic setup in Delhi. We get our 3D models, from Curewith3D, a dedicated 3D lab equipped with FDM and SLA 3D printers, focused on presurgical planning and patient-specific modeling.

          We routinely use 3D printed anatomical models, especially for complex facial reconstructions, TMJ cases, and orthognathic surgeries. They’re invaluable for surgical rehearsals, resident training, and most importantly, patient education. When patients can physically hold their jaw model and understand the procedure, consent becomes more informed and anxiety levels drop.

          As for printing surgical instruments or implants, we’re cautious. While the 3D orthopedic implants we design are precise and patient-specific, their final manufacturing still goes through standard biocompatible grade processes. Like in most regions, concerns about sterilization, structural integrity, and litigation prevent experimental tools from entering the OR directly. That said, the potential for custom joint replacement implants and 3D knee replacement implants in underserved areas is enormous. We see 3D printing as a huge enabler in low-resource and humanitarian settings.

          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!
