Latest results showing five-by-five return signal. (A) shows the #radar in a stationary position, no movement. (B) shows the radar gimbal moving in ad-hoc directions validating clear echo reception. #electronics #hardware #hacking #embedded #software #firmware #robotics #drones

@0xor0ne @Claroty Is it possible to follow you on mastodon social?

Testing out the new patch #antenna 📡with the #radars analog frontend and data acquisition #electronics.

[ProjectTheia @projectheia]

VSWR of 1.9 (~11% reflection), need to work on coaxial feed coordinates. 🧭

[ProjectTheia @projectheia]

Mixed up the XY-axis on the previous build.🤦

[ProjectTheia @projectheia]

Missed the target, 2.39GHz, luckily nothing a tweak of an oscillator can't fix. 😉

10x microstrip antennas ready for testing. 📡

Latest #Radar antenna design for reduced BoM costs and fine tuning for the target frequency. 💪 #GnuOctave simulations show five-by-five.🤞Here's hoping it survives the VNA gauntlet. https://t.co/2iwoE3pDx8

Nope, we’re not just winging it! But we did successfully deploy and latch the first of our two primary mirror wings. 😎

These side panels, folded back for launch, each hold 3 of Webb’s 18 mirror segments. Next up: our final wing! https://t.co/xnaWZXYiSx #UnfoldTheUniverse

#Electronics component shortage
🥺, time to focus on needlework🪡🧵. Prototype project patch. 📡

[ProjectTheia @projectheia]

The current #electronic component shortage is out of this world! 🤪

[ProjectTheia @projectheia]

Completed 🥳 the upgrade to the #radar comms module, allowing live 4G data streaming from #Robotic test platforms. 🚁

[ProjectTheia @projectheia]

Due to a lack of I/O interfaces on the previous dev-board, I've had to level up with an #Intel #MAX10 #FPGA #Development kit. 🦾 Super excited to get my hands dirty this week.
