I enjoy thinking and doing. Not necessarily in that order.
Hey folks, I'm between the pastries and the coffee!

And, more importantly, I get to talk about Open Research Institute openresearch.institute between two totally amazing people. What a fantastic opportunity from @amsat-dl.org

Torture test of #OpulentVoice protocol in the image below, 46 hours and counting.

This minimum shift keying open source implementation has stable Costas loops and delivers the bits over the air. Thank you team!

Here is an updated diagram of our Earth-Venus-Earth communications proposal. Use Zadoff-Chu sequences and coherent and non-coherent integration to recover the message sent. Might take an hour or more to send a message using EVE, but we think it can happen.

Today we Celebrate our Sixth Anniversary!

Thank you to our volunteers and community for our continuing success in open source digital radio work.

We could not have achieved all of what we have done without your generosity, expertise, and enthusiasm.

Bluesky sent me a note. I was apparently #461,803 on here, which is in the first 10%. I would not have guessed that, since I figured I was late to the party when I got an invitation from @nondim.com

It's been a good experience so far.

I write about open source digital radio & regulatory justice.

Two tiles lit and firmware ready for more.

Time for #Tessellation is an interactive textile and electronics project exploring the connection between math and music.

The Time for Tessellation quilting and RGB LED project had the first lit tile tonight. Things are coming together for this prototype. Larger quilt planned after all the lessons learned sink in from this proof of concept. These super fun PCBs from #Hackerboxes.

Center block is an Opulent Voice transmitter. This is the block diagram from the Pluto SDR HDL reference design. This work is done in collaboration with the University of Puerto Rico, and if all goes well with that mission, Opulent Voice part of a rocket launch in August 2024. #opensource #stem

Time for Tessellation #quilt prototype tile layout below. This is an exploded #tessellation, and so far, it's my favorite, because it shows more of the quilt top. #hackerboxes control tile goes in the center.

I am going to do the anchor points, using a historical sail eyelet model.
