    Car Keyboard Rf
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a wireless-controlled car using a keyboard as the remote, with plans to include a camera for live feed. The project is divided into parts, starting with developing a long-range transmitter and receiver aiming for at least 500 meters using FM or VHF/UHF bands. The user intends to utilize a microcontroller on the car and a computer for transmission, considering the implementation of an FSK circuit. There is uncertainty regarding the construction of an FSK circuit, leading to the question of whether a simple FM modulator can be adapted for FSK with a digital input. Resources for USB interfacing and project guidance are also requested.

I have embarked on my first real project of making a wireless controlled car. But here the remote is going to be my keyboard. I am also thinking of mounting a camera on its top for live feed.

Please suggest resources on everything, especially USB interfacing as I want it to be UPnP.

Is no mentor here who could help me achieve my goal?

Anyways, I have decided to break up this project into parts.

The first objective is to make a long range receiver transmitter and receiver.
I aim to get at least 500 meters of range. For this I would be needing FM range or other VHF/UHF band. I plan to use micro-controller on the car and computer on the transmitter side.

So I think, I would need to employ a FSK circuit.

But I am not getting a FSK circuit constuction.

So can a simple FM modulator circuit be used as FSK, if its input is Digital?
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
