Antennas The board has a PCB antenna for the 2.5 GHz ISM Band, for stand alone operation on the Camp Area. For other frequencies the use of an external antenna is highly recommended. Internal Antenna Have a look at Internal Antenna for more details on the internal antenna.

I would like to buy/get a rad1o Oh that's easy, just buy a camp ticket and you will get your rad1o at the camp site! There is no independent sale right now because we only produced about 4500 badges for the camp's visitors. As many people are asking how to get one, RFguy thinks about organizing a second production run. Be aware that one unit might cost about 200-300 EUR because sponsoring by chip manufactures is not applicable this time. The display and the rechargeable battery won't be includ…

SORRY, the Camp 2015 SDR Challenge is over! Go to to register and see the list of challenges. The download file for the first challenge is here: The GSM challenge might be buggy. If you are unsure, just hold off on the answer. The Challenge closes on Day 4, 21:00 at the muCCC village. Be there if you participate.

Known Issues Version 2015-06-23 (What you got on CCCamp) Powering off the WS2811b LEDs is not working Due to a mistake late in the day, the power off transistors for three LED groups are not working (T801-803).Solder 0 Ohm resistors there and disconnect the battery to power off the badge (otherwise, the LEDs are consuming 0.5 mA in stand by)

While rad1o is mainly a SDR it was also designed to act as a digital name badge. On first boot you can set your nickname to be displayed as text. Using the preloaded module image you can display custom images or animations on the LCD. Create a static image

How to properly solder the LED's To solder the LED's properly you have to do a few things. There are mainly two things you have to care of, the wiring and the capacitors.So we will add some thin wires, capacitors and of course the LED's to the rad1o.

RGB LEDs update the software Optional, not fitted in camp version LED Port Location Color / Type RGB801-808 P8_0 6 on Antenna and 2 in the lower area of the PCB RGB / WS2812B Datasheet These are RGB LEDs with their own microcontroller, so all LEDs can be programmed individually. They are daisy chained, first the two in the lower area of the PCB and then six on the antenna on the top. So if you don't want to add all LEDs, or want to…

More details about the hardware Intro We want to encourage you to tinker with your rad1o. Write your own software or build a pluggable hardware. Surprise with your creative ideas! Several people contacted us about producing rad1o for other occasions. All necessary information is on github and we're happy to help.

The original circuit tries to use an n-channel MOSFET as a high-side switch (i.e. switching the positive supply) for the LEDs. This doesn't work, because to turn the MOSFET on, the gate of the MOSFET would need a voltage about 2V higher than the source of the MOSFET, which is the supply voltage of the LEDs (~4V). But the gate is connected to Vcc, which is 3.3V. Duh.

The first idea was born in summer 2014, the development of the badge at muCCC started early in 2015. We got some nice contacts to various chip manufacturers and got a lot of parts by sponsoring, which made it possible to get this idea to life. Team:

troubleshooting

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2016-12-26T23:26:45+00:00

Troubleshooting Work in progress! The display is not showing anything (in sunlight) Make sure to cover the chip of the display with something light tight (permanent marker, dark nail polish etc.).(This is not an actual light sensor, but open silicon which in the normal use of the display would be covered by a case. Not adding the paint should not damage the display but you won't enjoy it)
