What we do

There was a post a few weeks ago about the electronics/robotics world and why we frustrate ourselves to do what we do.
This morning I flipped on the light in the electronics bay, fired up all of the test gear and powered up our latest prop project. The two transceivers synced right up and I could smell the soldering iron warming up.
At that moment I knew the answer to the question. I stepped back and looked at all of the gadgets, displays and tools and thought 'how incredibly cool this is to be looking into a world of electrons flying around on command and today I will change their course at will.'
That's why I do what I do.

I like what your bench setup too... great selection of test equipment to get the job done.
You mentioned transceivers, are they associated with that latest Prop project you also mentioned or are you powering up your bench remotely?

The transceiver/propellor is a pet project is what I have been working on for several months. Linx makes some very cool little modules that boast 10Kbps at 3,000' LOS.
They run on 3.3 volts and are pretty much completely self contained. Given my own issues with remote control rovers and the constant requests for a longer range RF solution on the forum here, I've been trying to get these transceivers to perform to spec. I'm getting close but like all RF applications, there's a certain voodoo element that is active this week. I had really wanted to be publishing some performance characteristics a couple of weeks ago. I think I'm getting close.
This morning we finally were able to start reliably sampling signal strength.
