amazing project ! well done ! inspiring to see it this morning the youtube algo recommended it for me. I was thinking what would be a budget way of creating this ? maybe a $20 SDR instead of the hack rf , seems to be a waste of the hack rf to use it as a lamp :)) I think the way you did must have cost you over $1k. Thanks for the inspiration !
I do think most people implementing something like this, especially in the exact way this one was implemented would really just be interested in the Wi-Fi ranges.
When I was doing wireless stuff we'd show customers the output of RF analysers to show that even with their wifi turned off their spectrum was packed full of noise.
Having a large viceral display of this would quickly enlighten them.
You do not need a full SDR to make a waterfall. The nrf52840 can function as a coarse spectrum analyzer, because it lets you tune to any frequency within its range, and then measure the approximate received signal strength over a period of time[0]. I have tested this myself, and it works pretty well. The only downside compared to an SDR is that it can only listen to one frequency at a time, so it will sometimes miss short signals.
I know it can switch frequencies, but I predict it wouldn’t make a very pleasing visualization if the updates are slow, but maybe you are right it would look fine for this implementation which is already far off from a waterfall
I'm personally especially interested in 'Latent Reflection'. I've tried to make something similar never got to a point where I was happy with the output the AI model gave me.
Lots of tuning to get the model to not immediatly spiral into nonsense. But small models are getting better by the minute, maybe i'll revisit it with a better model and share all the code
That'd be really appreciated. For me it just kept repeating the same phrase or just started reflecting on the prompt itself for a sentence or two after which it started spouting random nonsense like a pasta recipe.
