SA818

Raspberry Pi compatible, SA818 radio node

My new radio node that I designed last month is back from production at jlcpcb. Designed in Romania and built in China 😁. This is my first attempt using jlcpcb for the entire manufacturing chain, from PCB creation to part selection and assembly.

New radio node

Today I finalzied the designed for my new Raspberry Pi Zero-based radio node. Designed around SA818 and CM108B sound codec, will replace my old dead-bug style radio node that I used for so many years.

A Si5351 DIY oscillator project

I have some Si5351 chips that I never used for any projects. I purchased them from Mouser, I believe for an APRS project, long-standing and overdue. That APRS project I started some time ago but I never completed and maybe I should strongly consider to complete. But this is another topic.
