Air Pump and Solar Panel for Small Pond Aeration
This video describes an air pump and solar panel combination that does an excellent job aerating a small pond. The links to the air pump and solar panel are provided below. Note that I can't say how long the recommended pump will last before it fails, since I've only recently started using it (November 2024). However, it works so well for aeration and is inexpensive enough that replacing it yearly won't break the bank. Regarding the solar panel, it is rated at 12 watts at 14 volts. However, it has a built-in voltage regulator that limits the output to about 2.5 watts at 5 volts (in direct sun). I live in California where we have mostly sunny days. If you need the pump to work on dark/cloudy days, you will need a solar panel with a higher power output than the one recommended. Since I recorded this video, I have measured the actual output pressure of the air pump. It fluctuates between 4 and 5 psi about once per second.

UBLOX GPS waveform jitter: experiment shows the cause
มุมมอง 1.7K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
There are 2 different situations that result in signal jitter from uBlox GPS, as follows: Situation 1: Jitter happens whenever the chosen output frequency does NOT divide evenly into 24 MHz (where 24 MHz is the frequency of the uBlox onboard TCXO). This jitter happens because the uBlox can only produce these "odd" frequencies by mixing "even" frequencies of different wavelengths. Note that this...

    • @philipgiacalone5605
      @philipgiacalone5605 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I just measure the output pressure of the pump with an accurate gauge and it is producing a pressure that fluctuates between 4 and 5 psi about once per second. That means it can push air to a water depth of about 9 feet maximum. So I would imagine it will still work well and produce a good stream of bubbles at about 4 or 5 feet depth. The additional back pressure may reduce the longevity of the pump but I don't know that for sure. I've had this system for just a few weeks. It is still working like new and I expect it will make it thru this frog season (4 months) without a problem. The way I think about it is that the pump is cheap enough to replace each year, if needed. And I have not found a solar aeration system anywhere that does such a good job. Good luck with your pond and let me know if it works for you.

      The software is displaying the 16 bit return values from the accelerometer and not the actual acceleration in g's. The accelerometer is a 16 bit device so it returns values within that range. The acceleration values and resolution of these return values depends on how it is configured (it can be configured to measure a maximum of 2 to 16 g's). Once that is configured, multiplying by the appropriate scale factor will yield the acceleration in g's.

I also measured it on a counter in stats mode (HP53131A, Ref from a FE5680 Rb standard) over 100 cycles with a 1s gate time and got: Fmin = 11,999,999.975Hz, Fmax = 12,000,000.039Hz - high time was min = 40.7ns max = 43.2ns - since 1 tick of the 48MHz clock is about 20ns this is likely just noise from my quickly hooked up test setup.

      @@TrimeshSZ Thanks for that added info. Very interesting, indeed. If the tick period of the LEA-M8T's clock and oscillator is spot-on with the GPS time period, then the jitter problem would disappear (for frequencies that divide evenly into 48 MHz). It's curious how they could achieve that. Another experiment you might try is heating the LEA-M8T and see if jitter returns. Seems to me the output frequency would still be controlled by the physical properties of the oscillator. So if the frequency changes while the GPS timebase doesn't, jitter should return. BTW, all of this playing around with GPS signals has been out of curiosity and for fun. It's an interesting topic, imo, and I appreciate learning from your results, too.

    Got the same results with my Rigol DHO804 (hacked to 100MHz). The real bandwidth was roughly 150MHz, which is also what the default probes are rated for. The maximum rise time I got with a NanoVNA H4 was 2.3ns, which is in accordance to the bandwidth test I did. My biggest problem with the DHO804 is the lack of dots display, vector display can look really ugly sometimes and it's a shame when they've got a display that can show multiple colour intensities at the same time.

    Does the uBlox provide a digital signal that tells that the frequency is GPS synchronized and not just a local XO ? or one has to query the status over the serial interface for that?

      Using the serial interface is likely the easiest way, by parsing the NMEA messages, as you likely already know. I understand that uBlox also supports a binary UBX Protocol that can be accessed via UART. This provides a UBX-NAV-STATUS message with a field to indicate whether there is a valid GPS fix. I'm not sure which uBlox devices support this protocol or whether is is enabled by default. Just for reference, here is some more info about these two approaches: Using NMEA -------------------- The "Fix Quality" field in the $GPGGA message indicates whether or not a valid GPS fix has been obtained (Fix Quality values: 0: Invalid, 1: GPS fix, 2: DGPS fix). Example NMEA messages: 1. NMEA Message with a Valid GPS Fix $GPGGA,123519,4807.038,N,01131.000,E,1,08,0.9,545.4,M,46.9,M,,*47 2. NMEA Message without a Valid GPS Fix $GPGGA,123520,,,,,,0,00,99.99,,,,,,*48 List of NMEA fields from the `$GPGGA` sentence, in order with definitions: 1. **Sentence Identifier** (`$GPGGA`): - **$GPGGA**: Global Positioning System Fix Data 2. **UTC Time** (`hhmmss.sss`): - **123519**: Fix taken at 12:35:19 UTC 3. **Latitude** (`ddmm.mmmm`): - **4807.038**: Latitude in degrees and minutes (48 degrees 07.038 minutes) 4. **North/South Indicator** (`N/S`): - **N**: North 5. **Longitude** (`dddmm.mmmm`): - **01131.000**: Longitude in degrees and minutes (11 degrees 31.000 minutes) 6. **East/West Indicator** (`E/W`): - **E**: East 7. **Fix Quality** (`x`): - **1**: Fix quality (0 = invalid, 1 = GPS fix, 2 = DGPS fix) 8. **Number of Satellites** (`xx`): - **08**: Number of satellites being tracked 9. **Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP)** (`x.x`): - **0.9**: Horizontal Dilution of Precision 10. **Altitude** (`x.x`): - **545.4**: Altitude above mean sea level in meters 11. **Units of Altitude** (`M`): - **M**: Meters 12. **Height of Geoid Above WGS84 Ellipsoid** (`x.x`): - **46.9**: Height of geoid (mean sea level) above WGS84 ellipsoid in meters 13. **Units of Geoid Height** (`M`): - **M**: Meters 14. **Time Since Last DGPS Update** (`x.x`): - **(empty)**: Time in seconds since last DGPS update (blank if not available) 15. **DGPS Station ID** (`xxxx`): - **(empty)**: DGPS station ID (blank if not available) 16. **Checksum** (`*hh`): - **47**: Checksum for the sentence Using UBX Protocol ----------------------------------- The UBX Protocol provides a UBX-NAV-STATUS message that includes a "gpsFix" field to indicate the GPS fix status. Example UBX-NAV-STATUS Message: UBX-NAV-STATUS iTOW: 123456789 gpsFix: 3 fixStat: 0 flags: 0x01 ttff: 4000 msss: 5000 gpsFix values and meaning: 0: No Fix 2: 2D Fix 3: 3D Fix 4: DGPS Fix 5: Time-only Fix

    I have found it difficult to remove enough solder with the sucker to actually break the mechanical attachment between parts and a board. I had better success with the technique of adding solder and using a copper wire to keep the whole set of pins hot.

    6:07 RE THE OVERSHOOT Hi mate, i was gonna say, ARE YOU USING YOUR SCOPE PROBES Are they on 10x - if YES.. Good Are you using the positive on the conductor - if YES... Good WAIT FOR IT... Are you using THE GROUND CLIP- if YES....... BAD Try this as a first troubleshooting method to determine i the overshoot or inductive ringing is the circuit or your probes There is a small springy wire attachment that comes with scope probes. Disconnect your GROUND Lead and take off the Positive Hook part to reveal the raw tip. Attack the negative springy thing THEN TEST IT AGAIN You'll likely find that a lot of that overshoot was as a result of your scope probe's Ground Lead. let me know

    1:43 i was just gonna say don't use Delay (that will cause blocking) use vTaskDelay() classic issue on Arduino, You start on delay, it doesn't work , so you turn to millis, then that doesn't work and you're stuck solution...... ESP32, FreeRTOS and vTaskDelay

    as you said "IT'S A START" and... GODDAMMIT i am going to continue this I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THE FOLLOWING WAVEFORMS Sine Square Rectangle (with Configurable Duty Cycle) DC Pulse Triangle Sawtooth Noise I want all of them (but let's start with just Sine , Square and Rectangle) to have a Max Frequency of 500MHz. Adjustable manually via a P.O.T. I want all of them to have Amplitude Adjustment manually via a P.O.T. I want all of them to have PHASE OFFSET Ability (Where applicable) Adjustable manually via a P.O.T. I want to have DUTY CYCLE Adjustable manually via a P.O.T. I want to have Modulations, AM, FM, FSK, PSK Adjustable manually via a P.O.T. I think this might be interesting to work on.

    Is it possible to generate cosine in gigahertz? Is it possible to make an RF PLL oscillator in gigahertz?

    • @philipgiacalone5605
      @philipgiacalone5605 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, you can use GNU Radio Companion to create cosine signals over 1 GHz with the HackRF. It likely can only simulate a PLL.
