I started BPS.space almost 7 years ago in the fall of 2015 with the goal to propulsively land a model rocket. I had no background in aero, EE, coding, etc so it took a lot of trial and error, but today I finally stuck the landing 🚀🎉

So you all remember back in 2020 when I had that thread on the cheap as chips $20 HDMI capture card that BLEW UP big time? Well guess what? I'm back with another, this time it's next generation and better than before! x.com/Ascii211/statu…

It's time! Kerbal Space Program is free on Epic Games Store from now until January 12th at 8am PST

Saw a boat today

For any spacecraft, there's one system that unifies them all: avionics. In our latest engineering video learn how we approach avionics at Astranis.

I think I've got a way to modulate (D)BPSK at the clk_hstx frequency with a configurable divider to set datarate and it uses 0 CPU cycles (only DMA and PIO). I preordered some pico 2s so I'll test it out when they come in.

Today on things that shouldn't be used as SDRs: the HSTX peripheral on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2. I'm using it to transmit a clock output at 150 MHz, then using DMA to toggle a bit that inverts the output, which makes BPSK. It makes an absolute mess of the spectrum, but it works.

I've been working on a fun project recently

As someone who does not have to imagine being a student graduating from UMD last week with a degree in aerospace engineering (I am one), I would appreciate it if fox news did not presume to know how we feel
