  778. <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;In the advanced landscape of sensing technologies, Pulsed Coherent Radar (PCR), Traditional Radar, and LiDAR have unique approaches to object detection and environmental mapping. These technologies not only differ in their operational mechanics and applications but also in their physical size ranges, which can significantly influence their integration and use in various settings. Let's dive deeper into their characteristics, including an added focus on their size dimensions, to understand their operational contexts better.&lt;/p&gt;

  782. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  783.  
  784. &lt;h3&gt;Signal Type: Radio vs Light&lt;/h3&gt;
  785.  
  786. &lt;p&gt;The main difference between these technologies is whether they use radio waves or light waves for detection. While both radio waves and light are part of the electromagnetic spectrum&lt;/p&gt;
  787.  
  788. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PCR and Traditional Radar&lt;/strong&gt;: Utilize radio waves for detection, with a nuanced difference in their signal processing.&lt;/p&gt;
  789.  
  790. &lt;ul&gt;
  791. &lt;li&gt;PCR employs short, pulsed radio waves, enriched with specific frequency and phase information for enhanced detail.&lt;/li&gt;
  792. &lt;li&gt;Traditional Radar operates with continuous or pulsed radio waves but lacks the detailed phase information found in PCR.&lt;/li&gt;
  793. &lt;/ul&gt;
  794.  
  795. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LiDAR&lt;/strong&gt;: Uses light waves, typically from near-infrared lasers.&lt;/p&gt;
  796.  
  797. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/home_page_posts/1/0/5/3/6/PCR-Radar-LiDar-1Artboard_2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  798.  
  799. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  800.  
  801. &lt;h3&gt;Principle of Operation: Unveiling the World&lt;/h3&gt;
  802.  
  803. &lt;p&gt;PCR and Traditional Radar share the principle of measuring the time-of-flight of radio waves to gauge distances.&lt;/p&gt;
  804.  
  805. &lt;ul&gt;
  806. &lt;li&gt;PCR leverages phase differences for improved detection and resolution.&lt;/li&gt;
  807. &lt;li&gt;Traditional Radar relies on time-of-flight, without phase information, for target detection.&lt;/li&gt;
  808. &lt;/ul&gt;
  809.  
  810. &lt;p&gt;LiDAR mirrors this time-of-flight measurement but utilizes light pulses for precise distance mapping.&lt;/p&gt;
  811.  
  812. &lt;h3&gt;Key Differences: Ranging Beyond Range and Resolution&lt;/h3&gt;
  813.  
  814. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Range&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
  815.  
  816. &lt;ul&gt;
  817. &lt;li&gt;PCR offers focused sensing capabilities up to several meters.&lt;/li&gt;
  818. &lt;li&gt;Traditional Radar excels in extensive range detection, from kilometers to hundreds of kilometers.&lt;/li&gt;
  819. &lt;li&gt;LiDAR operates effectively within a range from centimeters to hundreds of meters, suited for detailed proximity sensing.&lt;/li&gt;
  820. &lt;/ul&gt;
  821.  
  822. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resolution&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
  823.  
  824. &lt;ul&gt;
  825. &lt;li&gt;PCR provides superior detail through phase information, outperforming traditional radar in resolution.&lt;/li&gt;
  826. &lt;li&gt;Traditional Radar is less effective at short ranges, where higher resolution is needed.&lt;/li&gt;
  827. &lt;li&gt;LiDAR leads in resolution, thanks to the shorter wavelength of light, facilitating high precision in object identification.&lt;/li&gt;
  828. &lt;/ul&gt;
  829.  
  830. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/home_page_posts/1/0/5/3/6/PCR-Radar-LiDar-1Artboard_3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  831.  
  832. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Object Penetration&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
  833.  
  834. &lt;ul&gt;
  835. &lt;li&gt;PCR can penetrate certain materials like fabrics and thin walls, offering unique applications in surveillance and object detection.&lt;/li&gt;
  836. &lt;li&gt;Traditional Radar's effectiveness varies, with its ability to penetrate materials depending on the specific frequency and power used.&lt;/li&gt;
  837. &lt;li&gt;LiDAR, on the other hand, struggles with material penetration as light waves are easily blocked.&lt;/li&gt;
  838. &lt;/ul&gt;
  839.  
  840. &lt;p&gt;Cost remains a factor as well, with PCR and LiDAR offering unique advantages in material penetration and detail, respectively, at varying cost implications.&lt;/p&gt;
  841.  
  842. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/home_page_posts/1/0/5/3/6/PCR-Radar-LiDar-1Artboard_4.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  843.  
  844. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  845.  
  846. &lt;h3&gt;Dimensions: Fitting into the Physical World&lt;/h3&gt;
  847.  
  848. &lt;p&gt;The physical size of these technologies plays an important role in their application and deployment:&lt;/p&gt;
  849.  
  850. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PCR&lt;/strong&gt;: Generally compact, PCR devices are suited for small-scale applications, such as handheld devices or embedded systems in vehicles, where space is at a premium.&lt;/p&gt;
  851.  
  852. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Traditional Radar&lt;/strong&gt;: Varies significantly in size, from small portable units to large installations like those used in air traffic control towers. Its size is often dictated by the need for larger antennas to achieve long-range detection.&lt;/p&gt;
  853.  
  854. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LiDAR&lt;/strong&gt;: The size can range from small modules integrated into smartphones and consumer gadgets to larger units mounted on vehicles for autonomous navigation. The complexity of LiDAR systems, including the need for precise optical components, often influences their size and integration challenges.&lt;/p&gt;
  855.  
  856. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/home_page_posts/1/0/5/3/6/PCR-Radar-LiDar-1Artboard_5.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  857.  
  858. &lt;hr /&gt;
  859.  
  860. &lt;h3&gt;In Conclusion...&lt;/h3&gt;
  861.  
  862. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PCR&lt;/strong&gt; is notable for its high resolution and ability to penetrate through materials, packed into a relatively compact size suitable for consumer electronics and indoor applications.&lt;/p&gt;
  863.  
  864. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Traditional Radar&lt;/strong&gt; is the choice for long-range detection, scalable in size from handheld devices to massive installations, versatile across various industries.&lt;/p&gt;
  865.  
  866. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LiDAR&lt;/strong&gt; stands out for its exceptional resolution and precision in object identification, with size variations accommodating everything from mobile phones to autonomous vehicles.&lt;/p&gt;
  867.  
  868. &lt;p&gt;The selection between PCR, Traditional Radar, and LiDAR hinges not just on their operational capabilities but also on considerations like the available space for their integration and the specific requirements of the intended application. This comprehensive understanding aids in making informed decisions for leveraging these technologies to their fullest potential.&lt;/p&gt;

  2043. <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Today &lt;a href=&quot;https://pointonenav.com/&quot;&gt;Point One Nav&lt;/a&gt; is officially launching support for GIS product creators, surveyors, and GIS professionals on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://pointonenav.com/polaris?utm_campaign=Sparkfun&amp;amp;utm_source=blog&amp;amp;utm_medium=survey&quot;&gt;Polaris RTK Network&lt;/a&gt;. To reach centimeter level accuracy, they’ve invented automatic assignment of datums and base stations. You connect to a single mount point, one time, and they make sure your devices are referencing the closest base stations and the appropriate local datum.&lt;/p&gt;
  2044.  
  2045. &lt;p&gt;In the video below, Point One shows how Polaris brings survey-grade precision to the Sparkfun RTK Facet. You can connect to Point One’s centimeter-accurate network in minutes - no more slogging through complicated credentials!&lt;/p&gt;
  2046.  
  2047. &lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;center-block text-center&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;flex-video-wrap clearfix&quot;&gt;

  2050.  &lt;/div&gt;
  2051. &lt;/div&gt;
  2052. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2053.  
  2054. &lt;p&gt;Connect to a single mount point and Point One’s Polaris RTK network intelligently assigns you to the closest base station and provides results in the relevant datum for your continent or country. You can access survey-grade RTK through your Sparkfun RTK Facet, untethered by constraints of geography or region. Additionally, Point One’s GraphQL API takes an afternoon to integrate with your device.&lt;/p&gt;
  2055.

  2439.  
  2440.  
  2441. &lt;/div&gt;
  2442. &lt;/div&gt;
  2443.  
  2444. &lt;p&gt;With the release of our Version 1.2 software for our DataLogger IoT products, we continue to add additional functionally to the products capability, as well as fix a number of issues.&lt;/p&gt;
  2445.  
  2446. &lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;center-block text-center&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_DataLogger/tree/main&quot; class=&quot;btn btn-default&quot;&gt;Learn More About DataLogger&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2447.  
  2448. &lt;p&gt;And with the release, we feel we’ve covered all aspects of a 1.1 release – new functionality, feature enhancements, and a wide variety of bug fixes.&lt;/p&gt;
  2449.  
  2450. &lt;h3&gt;New Features and Enhancements&lt;/h3&gt;
  2451.  
  2452. &lt;h4&gt;Log File Download via a Web Interface&lt;/h4&gt;
  2453.  
  2454. &lt;p&gt;To allow access to log files located on the DataLogger IoT device, without requiring the removal of the SD card, a new Web Interface is provided. Once enabled, you can browse the on-board log files of the DataLogger. Clicking on a a filename will download the file.&lt;/p&gt;
  2455.  
  2456. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/home_page_posts/1/0/4/7/1/v010200_webI.png&quot; width=&quot;1000&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2457.  
  2458. &lt;p&gt;Currently file browse and download options are available, but we plan on expanding this feature in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
  2459.  
  2460. &lt;p&gt;Additionally, this feature has the following options:&lt;/p&gt;
  2461.  
  2462. &lt;ul&gt;
  2463. &lt;li&gt;mDNS functionality allowing you to set a network name for a device if mDNS is supported on your network&lt;/li&gt;
  2464. &lt;li&gt;Username/Password authentication for the web interface.&lt;/li&gt;
  2465. &lt;/ul&gt;
  2466.  
  2467. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  2468.  &lt;p&gt;Note: For authentication use - currently some browsers might require a second login depending on settings.&lt;/p&gt;
  2469.  
  2470.  &lt;p&gt;Note:
  2471.  The datalogger requires restarting if the web interface is enabled&lt;/p&gt;
  2472. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  2473.  
  2474. &lt;p&gt;This feature is enabled in settings under the &lt;strong&gt;Preview&lt;/strong&gt; heading.&lt;/p&gt;
  2475.  
  2476. &lt;h4&gt;Startup Command Menu and Delay&lt;/h4&gt;
  2477.  
  2478. &lt;p&gt;To allow start-up time configuration and delay, a &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Startup Menu&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; was added to the system. Now, at startup a short menu is presented for a brief period, allowing modification of the startup options of the DataLogger.&lt;/p&gt;
  2479.  
  2480. &lt;p&gt;Startup Menu options:&lt;/p&gt;
  2481.  
  2482. &lt;p&gt;Pressing the highlighted letter while the menu is active, will change the behavior of the system. This change only affects the current system session.&lt;/p&gt;
  2483.  
  2484. &lt;p&gt;The options include:&lt;/p&gt;
  2485.  
  2486. &lt;ul&gt;
  2487. &lt;li&gt;'n' - Normal startup&lt;/li&gt;
  2488. &lt;li&gt;'a' - Disable I2C device auto load on startup&lt;/li&gt;
  2489. &lt;li&gt;'l' - List the I2C devices supported. This device table is discarded after auto-load&lt;/li&gt;
  2490. &lt;li&gt;'w' - Disable WiFi&lt;/li&gt;
  2491. &lt;li&gt;'s' - Disable preference restore during startup&lt;/li&gt;
  2492. &lt;/ul&gt;
  2493.  
  2494. &lt;p&gt;In addition, the amount of time the menu is displayed is adjustable.  This settings is on the &lt;em&gt;Settings/Application Settings&lt;/em&gt; page, under the &lt;em&gt;Advanced&lt;/em&gt; section.&lt;/p&gt;
  2495.  
  2496. &lt;h3&gt;Quick (!) Commands&lt;/h3&gt;
  2497.  
  2498. &lt;p&gt;The addition of a quick (&lt;em&gt;!&lt;/em&gt;) command system that allows for the direct execution of commands directly from the serial console, bypassing the serial menu system.&lt;/p&gt;
  2499.  
  2500. &lt;p&gt;An example of this is the display of the &quot;about&quot; page for the system. Normally this would require navigating the serial menu system. With the &lt;em&gt;quick&lt;/em&gt; command system, entering the value of &quot;!about&quot; at the serial console will display the about page.&lt;/p&gt;
  2501.  
  2502. &lt;p&gt;The following commands are supported:&lt;/p&gt;
  2503.  
  2504. &lt;table&gt;
  2505. &lt;thead&gt;
  2506. &lt;tr&gt;
  2507.  &lt;th&gt;command&lt;/th&gt;
  2508.  &lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
  2509. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2510. &lt;/thead&gt;
  2511. &lt;tbody&gt;
  2512. &lt;tr&gt;
  2513.  &lt;td&gt;!about&lt;/td&gt;
  2514.  &lt;td&gt;Display the system about page&lt;/td&gt;
  2515. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2516. &lt;tr&gt;
  2517.  &lt;td&gt;!clear-settings&lt;/td&gt;
  2518.  &lt;td&gt;Clear the on board system preferences with a yes/no prompt&lt;/td&gt;
  2519. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2520. &lt;tr&gt;
  2521.  &lt;td&gt;!clear-settings-forced&lt;/td&gt;
  2522.  &lt;td&gt;Clear the on board system preferences with no prompt&lt;/td&gt;
  2523. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2524. &lt;tr&gt;
  2525.  &lt;td&gt;!devices&lt;/td&gt;
  2526.  &lt;td&gt;List the currently connected devices&lt;/td&gt;
  2527. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2528. &lt;tr&gt;
  2529.  &lt;td&gt;!factory-reset&lt;/td&gt;
  2530.  &lt;td&gt;Perform a factory reset - presents a Y/N prompt&lt;/td&gt;
  2531. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2532. &lt;tr&gt;
  2533.  &lt;td&gt;!heap&lt;/td&gt;
  2534.  &lt;td&gt;Display the current system heap memory usage&lt;/td&gt;
  2535. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2536. &lt;tr&gt;
  2537.  &lt;td&gt;!help&lt;/td&gt;
  2538.  &lt;td&gt;List the available quick commands&lt;/td&gt;
  2539. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2540. &lt;tr&gt;
  2541.  &lt;td&gt;!json-settings&lt;/td&gt;
  2542.  &lt;td&gt;For setting the device settings via a serial connection. When this command is sent, the system expects to receive a JSON settings file&lt;/td&gt;
  2543. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2544. &lt;tr&gt;
  2545.  &lt;td&gt;!log-now&lt;/td&gt;
  2546.  &lt;td&gt;Perform a log observation event&lt;/td&gt;
  2547. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2548. &lt;tr&gt;
  2549.  &lt;td&gt;!log-rate&lt;/td&gt;
  2550.  &lt;td&gt;If log rate measurement is enabled, the current log rate is printed&lt;/td&gt;
  2551. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2552. &lt;tr&gt;
  2553.  &lt;td&gt;!reset-device&lt;/td&gt;
  2554.  &lt;td&gt;Reset the device - erasing any saved settings and restarting the device&lt;/td&gt;
  2555. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2556. &lt;tr&gt;
  2557.  &lt;td&gt;!reset-device-forced&lt;/td&gt;
  2558.  &lt;td&gt;Reset the device, but without a Y/N prompt&lt;/td&gt;
  2559. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2560. &lt;tr&gt;
  2561.  &lt;td&gt;!restart&lt;/td&gt;
  2562.  &lt;td&gt;Restart the device&lt;/td&gt;
  2563. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2564. &lt;tr&gt;
  2565.  &lt;td&gt;!restart-forced&lt;/td&gt;
  2566.  &lt;td&gt;Restart the device without a Y/N prompt&lt;/td&gt;
  2567. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2568. &lt;tr&gt;
  2569.  &lt;td&gt;!save-settings&lt;/td&gt;
  2570.  &lt;td&gt;Save the current settings to on-board flash&lt;/td&gt;
  2571. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2572. &lt;tr&gt;
  2573.  &lt;td&gt;!sdcard&lt;/td&gt;
  2574.  &lt;td&gt;Output the current SD card usage statistics&lt;/td&gt;
  2575. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2576. &lt;tr&gt;
  2577.  &lt;td&gt;!systime&lt;/td&gt;
  2578.  &lt;td&gt;Output current system time&lt;/td&gt;
  2579. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2580. &lt;tr&gt;
  2581.  &lt;td&gt;!uptime&lt;/td&gt;
  2582.  &lt;td&gt;The uptime of the device&lt;/td&gt;
  2583. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2584. &lt;tr&gt;
  2585.  &lt;td&gt;!device-id&lt;/td&gt;
  2586.  &lt;td&gt;The ID for the device&lt;/td&gt;
  2587. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2588. &lt;tr&gt;
  2589.  &lt;td&gt;!version&lt;/td&gt;
  2590.  &lt;td&gt;The version of the firmware&lt;/td&gt;
  2591. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2592. &lt;tr&gt;
  2593.  &lt;td&gt;!wifi&lt;/td&gt;
  2594.  &lt;td&gt;Output current system WiFi state&lt;/td&gt;
  2595. &lt;/tr&gt;
  2596. &lt;/tbody&gt;
  2597. &lt;/table&gt;
  2598.  
  2599. &lt;h4&gt;Log Data Rate&lt;/h4&gt;
  2600.  
  2601. &lt;p&gt;The DataLogger system can now measure the data logging rate. Once this feature is enabled, the system will monitor the time between log events. This value is averaged over the latest 10 log events.&lt;/p&gt;
  2602.  
  2603. &lt;h4&gt;System Info in the log stream&lt;/h4&gt;
  2604.  
  2605. &lt;p&gt;The system operational parameters can now be added to log stream. This is useful to monitor system resource uses over time, or just perform general debugging.&lt;/p&gt;
  2606.  
  2607. &lt;p&gt;Currently the following information is provided:&lt;/p&gt;
  2608.  
  2609. &lt;ul&gt;
  2610. &lt;li&gt;WiFi SSID&lt;/li&gt;
  2611. &lt;li&gt;WiFi RSSI&lt;/li&gt;
  2612. &lt;li&gt;Memory Heap free space in bytes&lt;/li&gt;
  2613. &lt;li&gt;SD Card free space in bytes&lt;/li&gt;
  2614. &lt;li&gt;Uptime in MS&lt;/li&gt;
  2615. &lt;/ul&gt;
  2616.  
  2617. &lt;h2&gt;Feature Improvements&lt;/h2&gt;
  2618.  
  2619. &lt;p&gt;In addition to the new functionality, we also took input from our customers (and our own use) to expand and enhance existing features. While a wide variety of small additions were made, a few notable additions include:&lt;/p&gt;
  2620.  
  2621. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Serial Console - Value Display –&lt;/strong&gt; The serial console now shows the current setting value in the menu system. Previously this value was only show once that item was selected.&lt;/p&gt;
  2622.  
  2623. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Serial Console Color –&lt;/strong&gt; Text highlighting and color were added to the serial console output. If your serial console application/command supports it, the menu system highlights key values. This setting is controlled in the &lt;strong&gt;Settings/Application Settings&lt;/strong&gt; section of the settings menu.&lt;/p&gt;
  2624.  
  2625. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Startup Messages –&lt;/strong&gt; Normally a verbose log of startup options and settings are displayed at system startup. The about of information is now controllable - with values of &lt;em&gt;Normal&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Compact&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Disabled&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2626.  
  2627. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved Device Auto-Load –&lt;/strong&gt; A major update to the I2C auto-load device detection logic that improves device detection and address collision prevention.&lt;/p&gt;
  2628.  
  2629. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;General System Enhancements –&lt;/strong&gt; Internal system job dispatch subsystem update to increase performance throughput. Overall decrease in static and dynamic memory usage.&lt;/p&gt;
  2630.  
  2631. &lt;h2&gt;Bug Fixes&lt;/h2&gt;
  2632.  
  2633. &lt;p&gt;We also squashed a variety of defects in the firmware. Some of the more notable issued fixed in this release:&lt;/p&gt;
  2634.  
  2635. &lt;ul&gt;
  2636. &lt;li&gt;Fixed issue with the LED display logic that caused a system crash if the log interval was less than 100ms&lt;/li&gt;
  2637. &lt;li&gt;Incorporate driver updates for greater NAU7802 device output value stability&lt;/li&gt;
  2638. &lt;li&gt;Incorporate driver update for the MMC5983MA device&lt;/li&gt;
  2639. &lt;/ul&gt;
  2640.

  2803. <title>Why L-Band?</title>

  2809. <summary type="html"><![CDATA[We know L-band is the best frequency for GPS, but why? Follow along on our journey through history today as we discuss how satellite navigation as we know it came to be.]]></summary>
  2810. <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;We mention L-band a lot here at SparkFun, from our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sparkfun.com/products/20000&quot;&gt;RTK Facet L-band&lt;/a&gt; to our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sparkfun.com/products/23748&quot;&gt;RTK mosaic-x5&lt;/a&gt;, which boasts triband reception. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sparkfun.com/news/8954&quot;&gt;Recently on the blog&lt;/a&gt;, we discussed the basics of &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt; it is, but didn't get to why we use it - we saved that for today! Buckle in for a history lesson.&lt;/p&gt;
  2811.  
  2812. &lt;p&gt;L-band has been crucial in the development of GPS, helping to transform it from a military tool to the ubiquitous navigation aid we rely on today. Today we'll chart the journey of L-band, from its early adoption in GPS systems to its role in the high-tech positioning hardware we use now. We'll explore how this slice of the radio spectrum has been the backbone of GPS, supporting its growth and ensuring that getting lost is, well, a thing of the past. Ready to get a clearer signal on how the L-band has steered the course of GPS history? Let’s dive in!&lt;/p&gt;
  2813.  
  2814. &lt;hr /&gt;
  2815.  
  2816. &lt;h2&gt;L-Band and GPS&lt;/h2&gt;
  2817.  
  2818. &lt;p&gt;We use L-Band for the United States’ satellite based navigation system, GPS. &quot;L-Band&quot; is a descriptor for the continuous band of radio frequencies from 1 GHz to 2 GHz. So if your radio is transmitting at 1575.42 MHz, you are transmitting on L-Band. The United States' GPS is transmitted on frequencies ranging from 1176.45 MHz (L5) to 1575.42 MHz (L1), while other GNSS constellations such as the European Union's GALILEO and China's BEIDOU, have their own frequencies within the L-Band. This brings up a question: Why do all of these different GNSS systems, from all different countries, use L-Band? What makes it such a desirable band for GNSS?&lt;/p&gt;
  2819.  
  2820. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/home_page_posts/1/0/4/3/7/image2.png&quot; width=&quot;450&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2821.  
  2822. &lt;h2&gt;A Very Brief History of Satellite Navigation&lt;/h2&gt;
  2823.  
  2824. &lt;p&gt;In 1957, the USSR launched the world’s first satellite, Sputnik 1. Sputnik contained a small radio station called the D-200, designed to transmit temperature and pressure information measured by sensors in the body of the satellite. The D-200 ran on three silver-zinc batteries, which kept it transmitting for 21 days, or roughly 314 orbits around the Earth. This telemetry data was transmitted using a very simple and robust protocol; Threshold Encoding for the value, and On-Off Keying for the state. Scientists and engineers predetermined different thresholds of temperature and pressure that would be significant, then set up a bit pattern that corresponded to each threshold. The radio would use On-Off Keying to signal whether each threshold was met or unmet. On-Off keying is a literal communications protocol, where the presence of a carrier wave signifies a one, and its absence signifies a zero. The radio transmitted at 20.005 MHz as a primary, and 40.005 MHz as a supplementary channel. The choice of these specific frequencies reflected a balance between technical feasibility, the need for reliable data transmission, and the desire to facilitate widespread participation in the satellite's tracking and monitoring by both professional stations and radio amateurs worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;
  2825.  
  2826. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/home_page_posts/1/0/4/3/7/Sputnik-stamp-ussr.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  2827. &lt;center&gt;&lt;small&gt; A Russian stamp from 1957 Source: Wikipedia&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2828.  
  2829. &lt;p&gt;The launch of Sputnik signaled (pun intended) the beginning of the space race, and scientists and radio enthusiasts around the world began tracking the signals it was transmitting. William Guier and George Weiffenbach of John Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory were two such scientists. As part of his Ph.D. dissertation in microwave spectroscopy, Guier had access to a high precision radio receiver. Using this receiver, and the nearby WWV Beltsville radio station’s 20 Mhz carrier signal, Guier and Weiffenbach were able to subtract the 20 Mhz WWV signal from the 20.005 MHz Sputnik signal, yielding a 5 KHz signal - which was in the audible frequency range. They could now “listen” to the transmissions from Sputnik. As they listened to the transmission, they realized that the signal was wandering as the craft passed overhead; when it was coming towards their location, the tone started out high, then became lower and lower, until they lost signal.&lt;/p&gt;
  2830.  
  2831. &lt;p&gt;They quickly deduced that they were hearing the Doppler Shift of the signal, a modulation of frequency caused by relative velocities; by playing the audible signal through a wave analyzer, they created a frequency/time table. With this data, they were able to calculate the orbital period of the craft to a high accuracy. With some refinement, this calculation was able to determine all of the orbital parameters of the satellite. This research caught the notice of Dr. Frank McClure, the Director of APL’s Research Center. He realized that this method could be inverted; instead of determining the location of the satellite based on the receiver’s position, the inverted calculation could determine the receiver’s position based on the location of the satellite. Dr. McClure began working on this project, and by the Spring of 1958 had sent out a proposition for a grant project to create a satellite based navigation system for the US Navy; this project would eventually turn into the Navy Navigation Satellite System (NNSS).&lt;/p&gt;

  2835.  
  2836. &lt;p&gt;The NNSS used Transit satellites, and was the first satellite-based navigation system; design for the system began in 1958 and it entered service in 1964. The satellites used for the NNSS transmitted at both 150 MHz and 400 MHz, well below the L-Band, and receivers used the Doppler Effect to triangulate their own position. The primary use of the NNSS by the US Navy was to support its Polaris ballistic missile submarine fleet. However, the accuracy of the NNSS in its original form was low, and only provided a two dimensional latitude/longitude position. There were a total of five Transit satellites, so getting the highest accuracy position fix possible (200 meters) could take over an hour. To improve accuracy, a new component was needed: time. By broadcasting an additional timing signal to receivers, they could add the timing difference between their location and the Transit satellite to the position calculation. Two additional satellites were launched, called Timation satellites, in an effort to solve this problem.&lt;/p&gt;

  2840.  
  2841. &lt;p&gt;The Timation satellites proved to be successful, increasing the theoretical accuracy of the NNSS to 1 meter (though this took multiple days of data collection and expensive receiver equipment to do). In 1967 US Vice President Hubert Humphrey declared that the system was operational for civilian use, where it became heavily integrated into oceanic shipping industries, surveying, and civil engineering; after the release to the civilian world, it became commonly called “Transit” or “NavSat”. Transit had a huge impact on the surveying industry, revolutionizing the tools they used; surveyors now carried Doppler survey receivers, called georeceivers, which were used to establish the WGS 84 reference coordinate system that we still use to this day. In 1974, the Soviet Union began launching its own navigation satellites for a system called Parus. Parus uses the same principle (and similar frequencies) as NNSS, and is still in service as of 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

  2844.  
  2845. &lt;p&gt;The NNSS was revolutionary for Naval navigation but provided low accuracy, long waiting periods between position fixes, and required expensive receiver equipment. To solve these issues, new systems were designed. An early (and important) attempt codenamed 621-B, launched in parallel with the Timation project, was designed by the US Air Force during the mid 60’s. 621-B explored many advanced digital signal transmission and processing possibilities, including the concept of pseudorandom noise to increase resistance to jamming and crosstalk with other navigation satellites. The idea with pseudorandom noise was that each satellite could be coded with a Psuedo Random Number (PRN); this number is used to introduce digital noise into the signal in a way that is repeatable without interfering with PRN’s from other satellites. This scheme essentially allows the frequency band to be multiplexed, with many transmitters all functioning in unison.&lt;/p&gt;

  2849.  
  2850. &lt;p&gt;The Global Positioning System, or GPS, was a US Department of Defense project started in the early 1970’s to design a better satellite based navigation system. GPS design was based on lessons-learned from previous designs; the inverse orbital position calculations of Transit, the time corrections of Timation, and the concept of digital signal PRN from project 621-B. One of the key goals was to allow for a four dimensional fix for receivers; to determine latitude and longitude, altitude, and time.&lt;/p&gt;

  2861.  
  2862. &lt;p&gt;The first eleven GPS satellites were launched in 1978. The system was designed to have 24 operational satellites in total, arranged into six different orbital planes to maximize availability and precision. Having multiple orbital planes allows for better geometry between the receiver and the satellites; this geometry lowers the Dilution of Precision (DOP) of the position calculation. The launches were conducted in “Blocks”; the first three Blocks were manufactured by Rockwell International, a total of 39 satellites launched over 19 years. GPS became the first satellite based navigation system to use the L-Band for transmission. Since GPS was launched, many other GNSS constellations have been launched that also use L-Band. This brings us full circle back to the question: Why L-Band?&lt;/p&gt;
  2863.  
  2864. &lt;h2&gt;Why L-Band?&lt;/h2&gt;
  2865.  
  2866. &lt;p&gt;The selection of frequencies for GPS was a complex problem; the cost of satellites and receivers had to be low, the size of equipment small, and the signals detectable at a very long range, through a variety of environments. The Earth's ionosphere presented challenges, as well as rain and snow. The chief architects and developers of the system were Bradford Parkinson, Roger Easton, and Ivan Getting; but the engineering that decided the frequency to use was done by Frank Butterfield of the Aerospace Corporation.&lt;/p&gt;
  2867.  
  2868. &lt;p&gt;Butterfield wrote a paper in 1976 titled &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA030164.pdf&quot;&gt;Operating Frequencies for the NAVSTAR/Global Positioning System&lt;/a&gt;&quot; which laid out what frequency would work best for the GPS system, and why. A quote directly from that paper's Summary section explains it very clearly:&lt;/p&gt;
  2869.  
  2870. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2871.  
  2872. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  2873.  &lt;p&gt;The NAVSTAR/GPS navigation signal frequency choices are constrained on the low side by performance limitations and by frequency allocation actions of earlier years. They are limited on the upper side by the cost of satellites in orbit.&lt;/p&gt;
  2874. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  2875.  
  2876. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2877.  
  2878. &lt;p&gt;Most radio band allocations at that time were below the 1000 to 2000 MHz L-Band, such as FM radio (88-108 MHz), HAM radio (1.6-1240 MHz), Broadcast Television (44-294 MHz). Being higher than these widely used frequencies, there would be much less interference to sift through to find the weak GPS signals, which would allow for a more precise and accurate fix. An additional problem with lower frequencies is that they experience more pronounced effects of ionospheric propagation delay; that is, as they encounter the ionosphere, they experience reflection, refraction, diffraction, and scintillation. Some of the electromagnetic energy is reflected at the boundary layer between vacuum and ionospheric plasma, bouncing back into space.&lt;/p&gt;
  2879.  
  2880. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/home_page_posts/1/0/4/3/7/image3.png&quot; width=&quot;450&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
  2881. &lt;center&gt;&lt;small&gt;Source: Ionospheric Monitoring and Prediction Center&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2882.  
  2883. &lt;p&gt;This boundary layer also causes refraction and diffraction, altering the speed and direction of propagation, similar to a laser “bending” as it shines through an aquarium. Scintillation is an effect caused by density variations in the plasma; these density variations cause different amounts of refraction in the wave, causing parts of the wave to overlap and interfere constructively or destructively. This interference causes the electromagnetic power of the carrier wave to fluctuate.&lt;/p&gt;
  2884.  
  2885. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2886.  
  2887. &lt;dl class=&quot;dl-horizontal&quot;&gt;
  2888.  &lt;dt&gt;The Ionospheric Effect&lt;/dt&gt;
  2889.  &lt;dd&gt;The ionosphere has an inconsistent electron density, and the electron density determines many properties of how the radio wave behaves as it passes through.&lt;/dd&gt;
  2890.  
  2891. &lt;/dl&gt;
  2892.  
  2893. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2894.  
  2895. &lt;p&gt;The interaction with the ionosphere causes signal group delay, a signal processing term for the propagation delay introduced by refraction. As the wave encounters a change in the refractive index of the medium it propagates through (such as moving from a vacuum into ionospheric plasma), the transmission velocity changes. This change of velocity changes the angle of propagation as well; this is a classic example of Snell’s law and Conservation of Momentum.&lt;/p&gt;
  2896.  
  2897. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2898.  
  2899. &lt;div class=&quot;row&quot;&gt;
  2900.      &lt;div class=&quot;col-md-6&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/home_page_posts/1/0/4/3/7/image9.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  2906.  
  2907. &lt;p&gt;An interesting attribute of radio waves (and light in general) is that as they pass from one medium to another, the wavelength changes (because of the change in velocity) while frequency remains the same. It follows that the angle of refraction is inversely proportional to wavelength; as the wavelength of light decreases, the refractive index increases, causing the angle of refraction to become smaller. The lower the frequency chosen for GPS signals, the greater the refraction angle would be, the worse the accuracy of the system would be.&lt;/p&gt;
  2908.  
  2909. &lt;p&gt;If lower frequencies introduce greater error, why not choose a very high frequency signal? Well, wavelength also determines how well the signal can pass through or around various media. Very high frequencies would not be able to penetrate well through miles of rain and snow, through tree canopies, through the roof of a car.&lt;/p&gt;
  2910.  
  2911. &lt;p&gt;The system needed to be robust, able to function in all sorts of environments and locations. A secondary reason was cost of equipment. Receivers needed to be cheap enough for large scale production, and this project was already demanding a large budget given the planned 24 GPS satellites. Reliable high frequency components were very expensive, and were even more expensive to launch into space.&lt;/p&gt;
  2912.  
  2913. &lt;hr /&gt;
  2914.  
  2915. &lt;p&gt;So there you have it, why L-band is used for Satellite Navigation - we needed to balance the priority for a high frequency that would be impervious to interference in the ionosphere and from our environment, while also balancing cost of equipment.&lt;/p&gt;
  2916.  
  2917. &lt;p&gt;The process of allocating L-band frequencies for GPS signals was like a high-stakes game of Tetris, but instead of fitting blocks together, it involved fitting a myriad of global interests and technical constraints into a coherent spectrum policy. The L-band is a sweet spot for satellite communication due to its balance between range and precision. However, it's also prime real estate for other services, leading to a complex and often contentious allocation process. The process involved intricate negotiations and regulatory wrangling, often mediated by international bodies like the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). These organizations had to balance national security concerns, given GPS's origins as a military technology, with the burgeoning potential for civilian applications that could revolutionize navigation, agriculture, and more.&lt;/p&gt;
  2918.

  2921. &lt;center&gt;&lt;small&gt;This is the entirety of the spectrum, allocated for certain types of communications and applications&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2922.  
  2923. &lt;p&gt;The allocation was not just about finding an empty slot in the spectrum; it was about ensuring that the frequencies used for GPS would not interfere with existing services and would be protected from future encroachments. This led to the establishment of specific frequency bands for GPS use, with careful consideration of technical parameters like signal strength and interference thresholds. As GPS technology evolved and became integrated into virtually every aspect of modern life, the importance of these allocated frequencies only grew. The process also set a precedent for how global spectrum allocation could be managed in the face of competing interests and technological advancements. In essence, the allocation of L-band frequencies for GPS was a masterclass in international cooperation, technical analysis, and forward-thinking policy-making.&lt;/p&gt;

  3058. &lt;p&gt;It's time to supercharge your next project with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sparkfun.com/products/24243&quot;&gt;SparkFun RA6M5 Thing Plus&lt;/a&gt;! Clocking in at 200MHz, the RA6M5 is a high-performance microcontroller from Renesas that is perfect for real-time applications. This translates to smooth responsiveness, lightning-fast data processing, and the ability to handle complex calculations – perfect for bringing your creations to life!&lt;/p&gt;
  3059.  
  3060. &lt;p&gt;The familiar Feather-footprint and Qwiic connector makes it easy to connect the RA6M5 Thing Plus to a wide range of sensors and accessories with a simple plug-and-play approach. Thanks to the 2MB of built-in Flash memory and a convenient microSD card slot, you'll also have ample space for your code and data.&lt;/p&gt;
  3061.  
  3062. &lt;p&gt;The RA6M5 Thing Plus isn't just powerful; it's versatile, too, because it's built for both ease of use and advanced applications. With 512kB of SRAM, 21 general-purpose pins, and an additional 16MB of Flash memory, it offers the flexibility to tackle even more demanding projects. While the default Arduino core might not utilize every feature, experienced users can explore the microcontroller's full potential to create impressive applications.&lt;/p&gt;
  3063.  
  3064. &lt;p&gt;Please be aware that while the SparkFun RA6M5 Thing Plus offers some pins that are 5V tolerant, it primarily operates at a 3.3V logic level. The board also features Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity, thanks to the DA14531MOD module (also from Renesas). When actively transmitting, the DA14531MOD sips a mere 4mA and can operate from a small coin-cell battery. The firmware provided on the module features Renesas' SmartBond™ - CodeLess™ AT command set. Therefore, users only need to send AT commands to configure a Bluetooth connection without reprogramming the module.&lt;/p&gt;
  3065.  
  3066. &lt;p&gt;In conclusion, the RA6M5 Thing Plus is ideal for makers who crave power and ease of use. Its extensive features and user-friendly design make it the perfect platform to turn your ideas into reality!&lt;/p&gt;

  3435. <summary type="html"><![CDATA[Recently published on DigiKey's maker.io, Shawn Hymel extends the capability of the Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) by adding the Coral Dev Board Micro to enable object detection.]]></summary>
  3436. <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Last year we released the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sparkfun.com/products/22230&quot;&gt;Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP)&lt;/a&gt;. The platform has experienced widespread adoption already and as people finish the &lt;a href=&quot;https://xrpusersguide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/course/introduction.html&quot;&gt;Introduction to Robotics activities&lt;/a&gt;, they want to do more with their robot - add Qwiic sensors, add GPS, modify or add to the chassis....&lt;/p&gt;
  3437.  
  3438. &lt;p&gt;To take his XRP to more advanced levels, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/c/ShawnHymel&quot;&gt;Shawn Hymel&lt;/a&gt; has added object detection. Essentially, he removes the line-following sensor and the ultrasonic distance sensor in favor of the Coral Dev Board Micro. Ultimately, he wants his XRP to identify a basket, pick it up and deliver it to a target zone marked with tape. We thought this was a super fun way to build onto the XRP. Take a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://youtu.be/jd1S5uw5Keo&quot;&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

  4440. &lt;/ol&gt;
  4441.  
  4442. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/home_page_posts/1/0/3/0/6/Screen_Shot_2024-04-01_at_6.34.29_AM.png&quot; width=&quot;250&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  4478.  
  4479. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/home_page_posts/1/0/3/0/6/Pop-Up-2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4480.  
  4481. &lt;hr /&gt;
  4482.  
  4483. &lt;p&gt;As we reach the end of our enlightening journey with 'Tech Guru Tom,' it's time to address the colossal elephant in the room: the deliberate obscuration of these groundbreaking truths by the titans of Big Tech.

They want you to keep buying different cords until you own nothing except cords. They already robbed us of the floppy disk, what else will they take from us? Tom's hacks, with their empowering simplicity and potential to disrupt the status quo, pose a direct threat to their dominion.&lt;/p&gt;
  4486.  
  4487. &lt;p&gt;Tom asserts that these tech behemoths have engaged in a systematic campaign to suppress the kind of knowledge that could democratize technology and place the power back into the hands of the users. By keeping the public in the dark about the true potential of simple, yet effective tech solutions, they maintain a monopoly on innovation and keep the masses tethered to their costly ecosystems.&lt;/p&gt;
  4488.  
  4489. &lt;p&gt;But in exposing these secrets, Tom does more than just offer handy tech tips; he challenges each of us to question the narratives we’ve been sold and to seek out truths that lie beyond the glossy veneer of corporate tech propaganda. His mission is to unveil the realities that Big Tech has obscured, illuminating a path toward a more open, accessible, and user-empowered technological future.&lt;/p&gt;
  4490.  
  4491. &lt;p&gt;So, as we bid farewell to Tech Guru Tom and his arsenal of tech hacks, let us carry forward the torch of inquiry and skepticism. It’s time to peel back the curtains, question the motivations of the technological elite, and reclaim the autonomy and potential that technology should rightly afford us all. The truths are out there, and thanks to Tom, we're now a step closer to uncovering them.&lt;/p&gt;
  4492.

  4495. &lt;p&gt;If you read this far, Happy April Fools Day. For your personal safety, please don't do any of these hacks.&lt;/p&gt;

  4618. &lt;p&gt;Forget ultrasonic and infrared sensors; the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sparkfun.com/products/24540&quot;&gt;SparkFun Qwiic Pulsed Coherent Radar Sensor - Acconeer XM125&lt;/a&gt; brings powerful 60GHz radar technology to your projects. This sensor isn't limited to surface detection; it can see through walls, cabinets, and even pockets (depending on the material), making it perfect for unique applications. Measure distances with millimeter precision, detect motion, the speed of an object, or even gestures!&lt;/p&gt;
  4619.  
  4620. &lt;p&gt;The XM125 boasts an impressive range of up to 20 meters, allowing you to create long-range sensing projects. Despite its power, the sensor has remarkably low in power consumption, which is ideal for battery-powered applications. The real magic lies in the sensor's ability to do more than measure distance; the XM125 can differentiate between stationary objects and moving targets using pulsed coherent radar. This means you can sense an object's presence and how fast something is moving!&lt;/p&gt;

You program the OpenMV Cam in high level Python scripts (courtesy of the MicroPython Operating System) instead of C/C++. This makes it easier to deal with the complex outputs of machine vision algorithms and working with high level data structures. But, you still have total control over your OpenMV Cam and its I/O pins in Python. You can easily trigger taking pictures and video on external events or execute machine vision algorithms to figure out how to control your I/O pins.&lt;/p&gt;

  5225. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sparkfun.com/products/24114&quot;&gt;SparkFun GNSS L1/L5 Breakout - NEO-F10N, SMA&lt;/a&gt; is a standard precision GNSS board with meter-level positional accuracy. The NEO-F10N uses the L1/L5 bands instead of the more commonly seen L1/L2 bands. Utilizing the L5 band, the NEO-F10N delivers improved performance under challenging urban environments. The L5 signals fall within the protected ARNS (aeronautical radio navigation service) frequency band, leading to less RF interference.&lt;/p&gt;
  5226.  
  5227. &lt;p&gt;This breakout supports the concurrent reception of three GNSS constellations: GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou. The proprietary dual-band multipath mitigation technology from the u-blox F10 allows the module to choose the best signals from both bands to achieve a significantly better position accuracy in challenging urban environments than with the L1 band alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  5228.

  5268. <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;SparkFun’s headquarters is located in Niwot, Colorado, which is just outside of Boulder and about 30 minutes from Denver. Our headquarters is where we ideate, design, and manufacture our boards (we also ship all over the world from this location). Colorado is home to one of the fastest growing tech communities with a mix of  large companies (Lockheed Martin, Ball Aerospace, Arrow Electronics…), smaller companies like us, and startups everywhere. &lt;a href=&quot;https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;amp;l=en&amp;amp;o=3824485-1&amp;amp;h=286915965&amp;amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cyberstates.org%2F&amp;amp;a=State+of+the+Tech+Workforce&quot;&gt;In a 2023&lt;/a&gt; report, the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) found that Colorado is expected to add the highest total of net new jobs in tech and that, currently, more than 8% of the state’s workforce is employed by tech companies, which is the 5th highest concentration nationally.&lt;/p&gt;
