Testing day

The whole team did work yesterday on the testing phase of our self-made Yagi Antenna. It was a day of hard work, but we managed to make our antenna to work.

We built and developed our antenna aiming to receive data from at least 1.5km distant points. The results were extremely positive, as we received strings of data when the transmitter and the receiver were more than 2km separate.

We used our CanSat kit to transmit some recognizable data. We programmed the Arduino board to emit known strings. These strings were got by the antenna, and the spectrum received was transformed by software in a PC, making these available as readable data.

The testing place was the Royal Seat of San Lorenzo de El Escorial for the transmitter:
