Interesting Snippets from 2013-08-01

• HackRF, an open source SDR platform by Michael Ossmann — Kickstarter

  HackRF is an open source hardware project to build a Software Defined Radio (SDR) peripheral. SDR is the application of Digital Signal Processing to radio waveforms. It is similar to the software-based digital audio techniques that became popular a couple of decades ago. Just as a sound card in a computer digitizes audio waveforms, a software radio peripheral digitizes radio waveforms. It's like a very fast sound card with the speaker and microphone replaced by an antenna. A single software radio platform can be used to implement virtually any wireless technology (Bluetooth, ZigBee, cellular technologies, FM radio, etc.).

• InK - Interface Kit

  Ink is a set of tools for quick development of web interfaces. It offers a fluid and responsive grid, common interface elements, interactive components, a design-first approach with ease of use and simplicity at its core. Start integrating Ink in your projects and remove the hassle of building the basics, staying free to focus on what's important.
