scrying

Embedded language-based [Scheme] interpreter, power regulation and unmediated antenna (code access). Power regulation/memory/bus connections.

Based on the ATmega128L microcontroller with 512 Kb additional memory.

Allowing less than divine USB connectivity to the CPU board.

For complex wide band signal/data analysis in the spectral domain.

Based on Analog Devices AD8313 chip.

For narrow band spectrum analysis

Formerly, making use of the Cypress CYWM6935 module as a simple spectrum analyser for the 2.4 GHz spectrum. Research is based on the work of Jason Hecker at: http://www.wireless.org.au/~jhecker/specan/

Now a custom PCB using the Cypress CYWUSB6935 IC.

Simple port of wispy-curses (in wispy-tools-1.0 from: http://kismetwireless.net/code/wispy-tools-1.0.tar.gz ) spectrum analysis visualisation to the Cypress CYWM6935:

Global Position log for mapping scrying derives.

Based on the low power Trimble Lassen SQ module.

For amateur geo-physical archeologic practice, based on the FGM-3 sensor from Speake Sensors.

Local Resonance Amplifiers (LRA) are parasitic city devices (PCD) which amplify and dislocate wide band electromagnetic (EM) emissions or signals. [see below]

for mobile, mesh network play within the city

based on Nordic Semiconductors NRF24L01

Independent module for long-term logging of wide-band signals and narrow-band 2.4 GHz spectrum to microSD card (around 1 month on 2x AA batteries or small watch battery) to be deployed en masse (16x) in Berlin in the next months.

Logging wide spectrum RF and tight 2.4GHz wireless spectrum).

Based on ATmega168, Analog Devices AD8313, and Cypress CYWUSB6935.

In the context of the scrying Gijon walk, the platform was used with a simple logging software to map broad spectrum EM field strength within the centre of (old) Gijon surrounding the Pelayo statue. An attempt was made to access both the past and future of this site through speculative appropriation of the techniques of geophysical archaeology and a relation to Burrough's cut up/Hugh Everett's theory of Many Worlds. In practical terms a broadband log periodic antenna was attached to a scrying board equipped with GPS and wide spectrum signal strength board. The platform was attached to the laptop and minicom serial communication software was used to issue logging commands and to make sure the GPS had locked to a signal. The laptop was detached and the board and both local and GPS antenna was carried in a spiral walk around the main square in the rain for around twenty minutes. At this point the laptop was re-attached and minicom again used to download the logged data (position and field strength) to the laptop. The data was cleaned up or massaged, to match a format suiting the gnuplot analysis software and a 2D representational graph of field strength against position was constructed using both GNU Emacs and gnuplot. Rough correlations between the perceived physical structures (a large fountain) and environmental issues (presence of cars surrounding the fountain), as well as possible discovery of several underground fish salting and farming chambers (from Roman times) were also discussed.
