ARM’s acquisition of Wicentric and Sunrise Micro Devices has produced the Cordio family of standards-based, sub-volt, radio IP supporting Bluetooth Low Energy. Each Cordio product includes a pre-qualified, self-contained radio block, related link layer firmware, stack and profiles along with guidelines for design, test, integration, qualification, and application development.Cordio aims at ease of integration and delivery

PicCon is a PIC microcontroller based radio controller designed for hidden transmitter hunting. When combined with a radio transmitter, it will produce tone sequences and Morse code messages at user-programmed times. It is completely field programmable via DTMF tones, utilizes EEPROM for all programmed options so they are remembered when power is removed, and is

I happen to be part of the 5% that have the elusive awesome mother-in-law. For Christmas I wanted to make her an “antique radio” that is super simple to operate and that could play some “old time radio” type programming that she listened to when she was a young’n. However, this is neither an antique
