#Wavebubble 2013#

Taking inspiration from Lady Ada's original Wavebubble RC1 & RC1a as well as the Wavebubble 2010. The core idea with this updated version is to make it easier to construct & program.

##Building One## As Radio Frequency (RF) jammers or inhibitors legal status varies from region to region there is a good chance that Wavebubble 2013s will never be available to buy as a finished product. Nor is it likely that they will be available as a kit. However by releasing the files it should be possible to build one for personal use.

###The Ingredients###

• ATMega32u4 - microcontroller to control everything, it's identical to an Arduino Leonardo.
• BQ24090 - smart Li-Ion battery charger, 4 different charge rates; 0mA, 100mA, 500mA & 1000mA
• NE555D - generates a sawtooth that will sweep the voltage controlled oscillators though the frequency bands.
• AD8402 - digital pot to change the sweep
• LT1935 - boost convertor with internal FET
• LMX2433 - dual wide band PLL
• ROS-1300+ - voltage controlled oscillator, 300MHz to 1300MHz
• ROS-2700-1819+ - voltage controlled oscillator, 1300MHz to 3000MHz
• GALI-84+ - wideband RF amplifier
• MIC2506 - dual power switch, used for powering VCOs & PAs

The full list of parts required will be listed in the Bill of Materials (BoM) in the Hardware folder.

###Build Instructions### There are none at present. However typical surface mount guidelines apply, start with the smallest pitch devices and finish with the larger devices. The Wavebubble 2013 is designed as a single sided board so it should be possible to solder in a reflow oven.

##Using One## to do

##Support## Try the Arduino forums for problems relating to programming and burning the bootloader.

Try the Adafruit Wavebubble forums for problems relating to the hardware.

##Credits## Thanks to Lady Ada for the original design as well as the regular posters in the Adafruit Wavebubble forums.
