Raspberry Pi used as a beacon transmitter

rpi-beacon-transmitter

[m0xpd] got his hands on an inexpensive AD9850 DDS Module from eBay but needed a way to control it. He took inspiration from the projects that used a PIC microcontroller, but decided to add his own twist by using a Raspberry Pi to build a multi-mode beacon transmitter. At the center of this breadboarded circuit lies the green AD9850 module. To its left is a level converter he built to get the … [Read more...]

Hellduino: Hellschreiber radio transmissions from an Arduino board

hellschreiber-from-arduino

[Mark VandeWettering] was experimenting with a simple transmitting circuit and an Arduino. The circuit in the project was designed by [Steve Weber] to broadcast temperature and telemetry data using Morse Code. But [Mark] wanted to step beyond that protocol and set out to write a sketch that broadcasts using the Hellschreiber protocol. This protocol transmits glyph images, which are decoded as … [Read more...]

[Scott] made a single-chip Hellschreiber on earth

Hellschreiber

[Scott Harden] is drilling teeth by day and designing radios that send secret messages by night. He's set his sights on the Hellschreiber protocol which was used by the Germans in World War II along with their Enigma encryption system. The protocol is a viable alternative for transmitting and receiving code in environments with too much background noise for other communication systems. His … [Read more...]
