| + | |||
| + | The PINGPONG-CDC project is a homebrew USB frequency hopping spread spectrum RF modem ([[FHSS]]). The modem is based on the Microchip 18F2550 and the Semtec XE1205 RF module. The module does not include a MAC or protocol layer. That is what this project implements. The project demonstrates how to write a FHSS MAC layer and use USB to interface it with a PC through CDC and WinUSB. | ||
| + | Since the protocol is not hard-wired, it is easy to change the software to experiment with different protocols. | ||
