Vodafone and Lime Microsystems have announced the first in a planned series of annual hackathon events designed to benefit the Telecom Infra Project, focused on developing on top of the LimeSDR powered CrowdCell platform. A part of the Telecom Infra Project, which aims to drive innovation in the telecommunications arena…

This fortnight’s big news was, of course, the successful rescue of 12 children and one adult stranded in a Thai cave by flooding, and there’s a surprise twist in the tale: the rescue was carried out using USB radio transceivers designed by a radio ham. Hackaday explains that members…

Community member Lucas Riobó has, alongside colleagues Francisco Veiras, María Garea, and Patricio Sorichetti, announced a novel use for a LimeSDR: software-defined optoelectronics. “In this work, we propose a general architecture for the implementation of Software-Defined Optoelectronic systems (SDOs),” Lucas explains in the forum post announcing the early-access publication…

The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced a joint project with Lime Microsystems which will see the LimeSDR family of software defined radios used to develop new and innovative satellite communications systems both on ground and in space. “With modern satellite communications, many design challenges are unique, requiring testing…

The LimeSDR General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) Board, designed to make it easier to interface the LimeSDR with external hardware, is beginning its journeys to backers following a minor delay in the assembly process. Designed to expand the LimeSDR’s capabilities, the GPIO Board provides individually-configurable bi-directional level-shifted input/output pins for the GPIO…

Dr. Danny Webster’s Wireless Masterclass series continues with a look at more advanced digital radio concepts and implementations including the detection and reduction of data loss The fourth in an ongoing series of presentations, Wireless Masterclass 4 follows on from the introductory video for those new to digital…

QRadioLink developer Adrian Musceac has shown off how the LimeSDR Mini can be connected to a smartphone for on-the-go software-defined radio reception and transmission, in the latest demonstration update to the Crowd Supply campaign. Using the GNU Radio-based QRadioLink running on an Android smartphone, a USB battery pack,…

BT and Lime Microsystems have launched a competition for all LimeSDR, LimeSDR Mini, and LimeNET users: build a radio access project and pick yourselves up a LimeSDR with official aluminium case plus the potential to publish your creation in the LimeNET app store. Designed to encourage the development of…

Campaign backers eagerly awaiting their LimeSDR Mini boards have something to whet their appetite in the form of a demonstration using SDRangel, the open-source signal analyser and general-purpose transceiver application. In a video posted to the Crowd Supply campaign page and visible to all, Andrew Back demonstrates how Edouard…

The LimeNET crowdfunding campaign has successfully closed its funding run, meaning production will go ahead on the open-source LimeSDR-powered all-in-one base stations, and with the backing of communications giant Vodafone. Just prior to the campaign’s close, Vodafone announced that it would be providing backing for the LimeNET launch and its…

EEWeb’s Paul Dillien has published an interview with Ebrahim Bushehri, chief executive of Lime Microsystems, describing the goal of the LimeSDR and related projects as no less than “to become the Arduino/Raspberry Pi for the wireless engineer.” Paul’s interview with Ebrahim concentrates primarily, and unsurprisingly, on Lime’s ongoing crowdfunding…

For anyone eager to be at the cutting-edge of project development, there’s now an email subscription option which will alert you every time a Myriad-RF project is updated with per-project tracking to keep things entirely on-topic. Build around the official projects pages, the subscription forms now appear at the…
