@gischethans "Sometimes curiosity and a willingness to learn is all it takes to fix something that initially looks complicated" - Impressed!
Those terminal blocks definitely needed a replacement and worth going with IP67 cabinet if this is outdoor.
someone built an OPENSOURCE MILITARY RADAR that tracks multiple targets up to 20km away
its called AERIS-10, full github repo schematics, PCB layouts, FPGA code, python GUI, everything under MIT license
commercial phased array radar starts at $250,000. military surplus is $10,000-50,000 but its decades old analog junk with no electronic beam steering
this does electronic beam steering at 10.5GHz, pulse compression, doppler processing, multi-target tracking on a real time map
two versions: 3km range with patch antenna array, 20km range with 32x16 slotted waveguide array and GaN AMPLIFIERS
custom frequency synthesizer, 16 front-end chips, FPGA doing all signal processing, GPS and IMU for ACCURATE target coordinates when the platform moves
all gerber files included so you can order the PCBs and build it yourself
one person built what defense contractors charge a quarter MILLION for and open sourced it
@ab_agarwal17 @Tejasvi_Surya That's the whole point. Cycling is cool as well until the roads get progressively choked up. A new luxury needs to get defined :)
@gischethans Damn! I was just starting to crawl by then. How do you think has the hobbyist techie/hacking open-source culture trend numbers moved over the years?
@abhijit86k Run on Meta Llama 3; 8B parameters - this is what it had to say. Wondered by how some points are specific....You have to say if this has any weight?
@hasheddan Yaay! This is a rockstar board. @ATaylorFPGA introduced me to this in 2021.
These are what I remember (PYNQ-OS, Petalinux, Vivado, Vitis, Using overlays in Jupyter Notebook)
We are thrilled to announce Astrome's successful field demonstration of multi-point 5G connectivity. This cutting-edge wireless backhaul solution impressed DOT officials DDG (SRI) Robert Ravi, Director (SRI) Deepak, and AGM (SRI) Alex.
