Re: LF: LF and VLF EbNaut

[Domenico IZ7SLZ <iz7slz.domenico@gmail.com>]

LF,

i have accepted the invitation of Paul N1BUG and added many other informations in the folder already shared,  that is now located at

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hb6B-qoV5KOZrw2k2FddRCrqXqOTF3mF/view?usp=sharing

Sorry: for the moments everythings are inside the folder without any link, but there a doc. file with a summary of the contents.

Sorry also for my English and for the block diagram drawn by hand (work in progress).

Hope to receive from interested people questions, corrections and suggestions so the quality of the informations will improve.

Of course,  for vlfrx-tools instructions,  i strongly recommend to read the Paul Nicholson abelian.org website (The Bible !).

I will prepare soon also informations for the EbNaut 'Windows' solution, i.e. all software preparations done here when using EbNaut-rx.exe program on Windows's pc.

Hope your better now and feel ok.

Hi Rob, Joe, EbNaut,

I would certainly like to see a write-up on Joe's setup along with
any relevant schematics if available.

Yours too, Rob, even if (maybe) it is more than needed for LF.

Wasn't someone working on a web site devoted to EbNaut at LF? I
can't seem to find that info now but I'm not fully up to speed
today. I'm semi-down with suspected food poisoning.

If not, I will up my earlier offer. If those who have had success
with EbNaut at LF will share information on what they used and how
they did it, I will offer to host it all in one place. Maybe we
could put together a LF EbNaut FAQ.

73,
Paul
