Nick Foster bistromath at gmail.comOK, turns out someone beat us to it a while ago, even going so far as to reverse-engineer the cheesy crypto FLARM put in there to discourage copycats. The PHY is a Nordic nRF905 (+10dBm output), the medium access control is blind random-interval squitter with no two-way communication, and all Onera's vaunted "prediction" logic is being done in an AVR (!). Kids these days... http://pastebin.com/8ke6jnQZ The good news is Manchester-encoded GFSK is dead simple to decode, and the known parameters of the nRF905 make it easy to write a receiver. --n On Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 8:14 AM, Nick Foster <bistromath at gmail.com> wrote: > This is a new one!
