I know this. That doesn't answer my question. To say that B will circle the wire - does it imply that the iron filings will actually start moving in circles around the wire? Aka will they actually receive a constant angular force? Or will they simple orient themselves in a circular fashion...

Hey everyone, I'm learning about B and H fields in electromagnetic waves and propagation class. Trying to wrap my head around the idea that magnetic fields wrap around current carrying wires. Consider this: If you were to take a clear, hollow cylinder, drill a hole at both ends, run a...

Thank you for your comments so far. @skeptic & FlexGunship: thanks, but certainly your OS can supply data at rates listed on this page? http://usbspeed.nirsoft.net/ Furthermore, wireless networks cards - they must interact with the OS in order to pump data out and haul data in at rates of 54...

The high-speed (USB 2.0) protocol is capable of 480 Mbit/s. How can I send data at these speeds!? This seems like a simple question, but I cannot seem to find a simple answer. Cheers, JoAr

Recent technological advancements in the fabrication of LEDs have made it possible to utilize the visible spectrum as a high-speed communications channel. The potential applications for communication through light are essentially ubiquitous; lights illuminate our homes and buildings, streets…etc...

@ everyone: I'll give everyone a little more background information and our current architecture... What we have at the moment are two laptops. One acting as a transmitter, and another a receiver. On the transmitter side, we're running a simple Visual Basic script that interfaces with the...

Hello everyone, My colleague and I are transmitting serial data over a visible light communication channel. How can we eliminate flicker? - i.e. when the signal is 01000100 the LED is dimmer than 01111011. When long strings of data are sent, it causes the LED to flash and it's detectable to...

When right-clicking any file in Windows Explorer, there's a SEND TO menu. I want to add to this menu. My colleague and I are attempting communication over a visible light channel for our senior year electrical engineering project. What I'm imagining is right-click->Send To->VLC. There will be a...

it comes down to this: how do I send a 3Mbaud bitstream out of the USB port? I have the drivers installed for the FTDI chip, I'm looking for a language where I can actually specify that 3Mbaud is the baudrate...but from what I've seen I cannot find any.

indeed it does mask the usb as a serial port - but from a software side, communicating with the serial port requires that I fit within serial port restraints (within 115,000 baud?)... how can I transfer data at 3Mbaud if the software won't support it?

A colleague and I are in our 4th year of Electrical Engineering and are designing a Visible Light Communication device capable of sending text, pictures, videos, etc over a binary light channel. We are currently using an FTDI chip to interface between the USB and receiver/transmitter. According...

Thanks for your replies, still looking for lots more insight, people please post up! :smile: @berkeman That's precisely the question: "Is it possible to generate photos via RF currents in antennas"... And how would the light be emitted? Would it follow much the same principles of EM...

Hi folks, EM radio signals range in frequencies from a couple Hz up to approximately EHF (30-300GHz)... As we exceed the 300GHz threshold, we begin to approach the infrared section of EM spectrum, and furthermore into the visible light area of the spectrum. My question is, what happens...
