We have two presentations for August: Software Defined Radios; Intro to
Amazon Web Services.
Topic: Software Defined Radios
Speaker: Schuyler St. Leger
Description: Software Defined Radio (SDR) provides the perfect low-cost
method to explore the world of RF (Radio Frequency.) SDR is a flexible
radio system that utilizes software instead of specialized hardware to
decode radio signals. It can investigate a wide frequency range and
decode many different RF protocols. This talk will provide a basic
understanding of SDR. It will then discuss some of the available and
affordable hardware and software tools for exploring SDR. If time allows
a live SDR demo will be included.
Bio: Schuyler St. Leger is a young maker. His passion for technology
started at a very early age. His interests include 3D printing,
electronics, hardware and software programming, software defined radio
(SDR), robotics, computers, and tech innovations. Schuyler regularly
speaks and teaches on these subjects. He dabbles in many software and
hardware technologies including 3D CAD tools (Autodesk Inventor and
123D, SketchUp, and SolidWorks), LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python, Processing,
Scratch, Linux, Arduino, and LEGO Mindstorms. He enjoys designing and
making things as well as taking apart nearly everything to understand
the details of how they work. He shows his projects at various maker
events worldwide. Schuyler is a member a FIRST Robotics Competition
team, Team Caution Robotics, and also a member of HeatSync Labs,
Phoenix’s hackerspace.
His motto is “Don’t be afraid to break something!”
