I think even coaxial cable to led is bad.
It reduces EMI polution, but the inductance of wires is high, so fast current 
changes are impossible.
Place the LED as close to driver ic as possible.
Then try some data flow test and tell us the distance from transmitter to 
receiver, where is not any packet loss yet.
A standard ronja distance is about two meters, which corresponds to 1400m with 
optics.

hi,
i just realized that,

   y^=1<<(dodekahedron[i]-1);

equals to

for(i=0;i<5;++i)
   y|=1<<(dodekahedron[][i]-1); /* shift 1 to positions */
y=~y;

....
0xff==(unsigned)-1 ^ 12 clears place where 12 has 1' bits
dodekahedron[][i] ~= dodekahedron[][j] <=> i~=j

 Good work, We've all been looking for some alternative...
   
   Can you include the schematic of the circuit  on your blog too.
   
  You've mentioned 74hc245, but the pic has some other components too? 
   
  Thanks

Subject: [Ronja] Analogue silly question...
Message-ID: <25604380.321202440272323.JavaMail.root@scalix>

Hi all,
Before I even ask it I know this must be a stupid question....

The issue of using analogue transmission has been asked and answered before.

My question however is thus :-

Is is not possible to hack apart a wireless access point (a GPL friendly one such as the wrt54gl) and drive the laser from the radio interface's tx and interface the rx ?

This should resolve the power calibration issues as this will have already been designed for in the radio interface.

Could this not provide a cheap way to get faster (22meg+) links ?

Now please tell me where I've gone wrong ......

Cheers

Matt

Be careful when installing Ronja on or around chimneys to not block the chimney opening. 

Here someone in Germany put some kind of carton over chimney to prevent rain from pouring down the chimney and a gravid lady died and her husband was seriously injured because carbon monoxide stacked in their apartnemt (unfortunately in German only):

Subject: [Ronja] Analogue silly question...
Message-ID: <2044542.431202445475450.JavaMail.root@scalix>

I understand that ronja currently uses a pulsed encoding that means that you cannot push ofdm over it as is.

My question is more a can you not drive the laser in varying strengths ?

My understanding of the limitations are that they are in the "how do you know what power you should have" at the receiver as a baseline for decoding an analogue encoded transmission.

It's my thinking that this problem has already been solved with the wifi radio design.

So can the rx and tx of a ronja "like" system be analogue ?

If so does the encoding present any speed benefits or greater "spectrum" efficiency ?

I know nothing and every question I ask proves it.

Cheers

Matt

This will not work, since a 802.11g access point uses OFDM for the 
modulation of the signal, this is incompatible with ronja. Also signal 
feedback for power calibration (for reducing link speed) will not work, 
since this is indended to work with radio signals and not ronja, simply 
because with ronja you get it all or you get nothing. With radio signals 
you get more when the signal strength increases, thus less noise, so you 
can modulate more on the frequency.

Patrick

P.S.
On further reading I realise that the maximum available bandwidth for the tx design is currently about 16Mhz - just enough for 10Meg.

With analogue using 50% power as the centre of the frequency with +/- 25% as the gives a required change of 50% which should increase the bandwidth to 32Mhz (with 54g @ 20Meg needing 22Mhz).

As far as I can see the limit would be with the rx unit sensitivity..........

Hey everyone,

  It has a rise time of 7ns and a half angle of 30 degrees at 2.1 volts.
   
  Please let me know if this may be used as an alternate to HSDL-4230.
   
  Thanks

Hey Saad,

You can never completely trust used parts. Best you could do is buy a
lot of extras and then test each of them before using them. Since they
are next to impossible to find, I'm open to using any I can find.

Regards the IR diode, someone else more knowledgeable than me will reply
:)

You can use them if they were pulled out from sockets, i. e. not soldered and absolute maximum ratings were not exceeded during their lifetime.

If they are desoldered, do not use them. The Ronja manual says always: "Use new components, not desoldered". AFAIK
desoldered components can be easily unreliable.

I don't know if this helps, but in openwrt the router can be
configured in such a way, that the wlan-device sends from one adaptor
and recieves from the other. See options txantenna and rxantenna.

I only have low power HPWTs, but I have lots of them. I have the 
hsdl-4220. The 4230 was available from Farnell last I checked.

Hi Saad,
i tested this led, see:  http://www.ok1mjo.com/all/wifi/Infra_LED_HSDL-4230  .
I buy in http://www.gme.cz/cz/index.php?page=product&detail=511-149 .
17,- Kc = ~ 0.7 EU = ~0.9 USD

And in international shop (maybe)  :  http://www.ges.cz/?page=index&or=sort&ipp=12&lang=en&cur=EUR&inc=detail&gesid=GES10404762

  Hello everyone,

  I've  tried contacting Ondrej Tesar on his email and on his mobile.... but no reply from either one,,,

  Is their anyone else here who might have this led with him, or even the hsdl-4230??

  And does the ronja shop that sells PCB have these leds too?

  Thanks All,

  Saad

Hello Saad,

To me it seems it could be used directly, and that it could
even support a 100 Mbit rate (with some equalization).

Where can you find it retail? I have not found it.

Message-ID: <3722a3330802190707n73b16c75r9841fee7bff90ab7@mail.gmail.com>

Hi people,
100 Mbps open source FSO, I think would revolutionize the wireless link
scene.
I am really confused as to what is really holding back the development of
100 Mbps RONJA, even when every thing is open source and free.
I start this thread to exactly pin point the problems of a 100 Mbps RONJA.
Let us reach to a conclusion as to what exactly must be modified.

Let us start with the LED,
1. To transmit at 100 mbps,we must find an LED which can switch on and off
in 1 ns.

So what else is on the list ?

Hi Gullik,
   
   I found it at a local shop (Karachi - Pakistan), this was the only fast led they had. 
   
   Went there looking for the Hsdl-4230.
   
   By the way Clock advised me that it might be a laser and will require a different drive circuit, any idea, how we might proceed with that.... and i wasn't able to find any safety Class specification of this led in the datasheet... anybody know how we might do that?
   
  Regards,

Yeah you are right, there have been discussions in the past, people have
discussed lasers etc even FPGA. I thought if we would enumerate the problems
and the changes required, it would be easy for people to start making
changes to the design. Different people could work at different problems and
then could combine the solution, very much like growth of the Linux kernel,
in the true spirit of open source.

Deepak

Hi  Bruce,
   
  Nice of you to reply. By the low power ones. do you mean the ML...Md or Rh series?
   
  It seems that the Hsdl-4230 is no longer in stock, thats what the distributor said..... when i checked the farnell site, it showed two columns, one showing some pieces in stock whereas the other said they are no longer in  stock.
   
  Any way, can you plz tell me you where will you ship these leds from, and what would be the approx cost of that... and ofcourse of the leds themselves...
   
   
  Best Regards,

Hey Deepak,
   
  2. Need equally fast photodiode and 74xx ics
  3. faster ne592 alternate as it only works at 10nS
  4. we might be able to use the bf908 since it supports upto 1 GHz.

The fact that I have to go to work? Anyone has resources to pay one developer fulltime?
But don't expect immediate 100Mbps even in that case, I would first fix bugs on the 10Mbps before starting with 100Mbps :) First bugs, then features.

that's not neccessariliy true. if you wanna use 2-level encoded signals like now ,you'd run into several problems.
first is you would have to change the encoding of the MLT3 signal to 2-level signal which is suited for optical transmission. in easiest case manchester code.
which would result in a 0.5ns signal-time. which again would require about as few as 0.2 or even less rise/falltimes. from my experience this is not possible with LED's at all.
in any case this would require an almost complete re-design of the entire electronics ending up in a by far ways more comlicated circuit.

second option is to stick with the MLT3 signal delivered from the networkcard. this leaves you signal-times of (correct me if i'm wrong )  ~30ns which is still ad the edge of LED's capabilities. right now ronja is at 50ns. so the LED's would require risetimes of 15ns  or less .difficult to find but still possible.though this would require you to redesign most of ronja,too. but it would spare you from transcoding the signal twice.
you would need to build a current-controller for the LED's which is capable of switching the driving currents very fast and accurate. maybe even over-drive it and use a monitor-diode to get a light-output feedback.
on the receiver side you would need to build a 3-level receiver.. as it happens i was sorta bored recently and i draw a rough shematic of such a thing.
it basically divides the 3-level input signal into 2 2-level signals which can be easily compared against the half of the average signal AC.
it doesnt look very trustworthy and requires a lot more additions to actually work in real-experiments. but the simulation on this tiny idea worked quite well. so at least it's a start.

feel free to improve it -> http://home.arcor.de/positiveelectron/files/MLT-3-receiver.png

ronja sorta already has a MLT3 line transmitter to match the IEEE standarts of link-integrity bursts. so the efforts on this end would be comparebly small.
all in all the require changes are tons of work. but at least within the range of technical posibilitys.

just my 2 cents on all of this. but if you got intrested feel free to ask for more :)
i'm also quite intrested in speeding up ronja a little^

I could be convinced to fund / find funding for a 100Mbps Ronja.

How much would it take?

My interest in 10Mbps Ronja is more of a 'hobby' level.

Nice demo Martin, is there some chance that documentation, tips or
howtos be available about this project some time in future? Any plans
for some kind of open hardware licence like Ronja is, or it will be
yet another of those projects that inherit Ronja's ideas/hw, show some good
stuff and then go into some factory for big bucks only :) ? No wonder
why Cl always gets upset when ppl start asking about 100mbps or xtra
range versions :)

Hi Vladimir.
Sorry, this development was for one firm from our city.
I must not publish circuit PCB  :(
But....some ideas i am here publish along the years.

In future looking on 1Gpbs..... avalanche photodiode with 200V dc :))) 
roung again  toy gadget.

I'm interested in helping fund 100Mbps Ronja, with the hw designs  
GPLed, *and* in putting units and kits into "production" and offering  
same for sale.

Hi CD930,
Sure dont release the PCB, but you could give us suggestions on improving
the RONJA design to 100 Mbps.
You could point us in the right direction, like the modulation technique to
use, coding technique, or LED used ,or lasers, other pitfalls you
encountered ?
Would you like to support a "free" cause ?

Regards,
Deepak

Sorry...no, maybe later. But...TX,RX is MAXIM chipset, mediaconvertor MARVELL 1108  (before used Micro-Linear), laser is 870nm/10mW and photodiode is PDB-C102.
Tested (tx lens 11cm, rx fresnel lens 20cm) on 2500m. RSSI go to AD and Atmel CPU (LCD and RS232c).

Hi all,
The discussion so far

Saad Shakeel says
    2. Need equally fast photodiode and 74xx ics
    3. faster ne592 alternate as it only works at 10nS
    4. we might be able to use the bf908 since it supports upto 1 GHz.

Thomas Egenhofer says
- Think over encoding technique
    1. 2 level encoding at 100 mbps could run into problems.
    2. 2 level encoding would require rise and fall times of .5ns !
    3. MLT3, coming from the LAN card could be used (30ns), requiring in
rise and fall times of 15ns of LED
    4. It would require redesigning the transmitter
    5. He already has a prototype MTL3 reciever at
http://home.arcor.de/positiveelectron/files/MLT-3-receiver.png

Meanwhile CD930 shows us he already has a 100 Mbps version, but alas the in
the clutches of proprietary license
    He has videos at
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h3hDm32kv4
     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcjaJhMHcNk

and even better people like Jim Thompson are waiting to be convinced to
finance a 100 Mbps version.


What are we waiting for ?

Deepak

Hi all,

Just another passing thought,
since we know that finding LEDs of extremely short rise and fall times(1 ns)
is difficult.
But LEDs of r-f times of 10-20 ns are available
which means that we could increase the bandwidth to 20 or 30 Mbps, without
significant changes to existing circuits.
I think we only need faster ICs for the circuit.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Regards,
Deepak

I heard about someone who replaced twister with someting based on 10/100 eth
switch chip and CPLD and have fixed rate 25 Mbps without modifications to
RX and TX.

What Clock said.

I have a prototype PCB for a 100MHz RX/TX unit but simply have had no 
time to test/tweak/enhance it. LED fall time is the issue so far; I 
know what to do about it, but (payed) work takes precedence over a 
GPLed project.

Why does a 100Mbit Manchester encoded signal (with 10ns per bit) have 
a 0.5ns signal-time? Methinks you are off by an order of magnitude.

sorry.. looks like a zero shifted around in my brain. should be 5ns i
think..

i dont belive you can skipp this if used with 2level encoding^^ also
keep in mind that signal-times of 10ns are quite tricky to handle. even
fast logic can easily produce a delay of up to 15ns which can cause many
problems with signal-timing in general.

This makes no sense to me. Going to a higher encoding level should
trade bandpass for SNR (and linearity) requirements.

It might not be a huge win given the channel characteristics, but
saying that it would need several orders of magnitude more bandwidth
(which is what saying .5ns rise time is saying)

With a proper EQ (which would be easy with an all digital
modulator/demodulator) higher level encoding should work well across
the optical channel.

In dedicated silicon or a larger FPGA, yes. In gates or discrete 
hardware, not so much.

JDB
[ran into this when designing a 100Mbps synchronizer, which is quite 
a bit easier than an EQ. For ASICs this is a solved problem, but I 
wanted/needed to do it in commercially available gates]

Hi all,
I am not very interrested in topic for some time, but I have few fast,  
suitable for 100Mbps, photodiodes. I planned some design with it, but now  
I offer it for experiments to you. It's FCI-HR008  
(http://www.datasheetarchive.com/pdf/1382205.pdf). It has capacitance  
0.8pF at 5V! Price: 1 000CZK (40?) per piece.

This is surely analogous to the high speed fiber communications such as DWDM.
The current standard here is 10Gb/s per channel. That corresponds to an
electrical bandwidth of at least 5GHz. These optical devices are specified to
10GHz.

The diodes required for this application need to have a very low capacitance.
This capacitance (almost) solely determines the speed of the resulting
transimpedance amplifier. 
A diode's capacitance depends on its area. It also depends on the applied
reverse voltage. However, it would be wrong to use and avalanche diode in
avalanche mode! This diode detects individual photons, and each event has a
'quench time' (it works very similar in principle to a geiger-muller tube)
which means they will saturate with very low ambient light levels!

Avalanche type diodes can be suitable if operated at lower voltage because of
their small area and a wide pIn channel that results in lower capacitance. They
are very expensive however.

The small area for a suitably fast RONJA diode might requires some thought of
the optical system.

I still think the best detector theoretically would be a pyroelectric device.
No suitable affortable devices so far:-(

Hi CD930,
Sure dont release the PCB, but you could give us suggestions onimproving the
RONJA design to 100 Mbps.
You could point us in the right direction, like the modulationtechnique to use,
coding technique, or LED used ,or lasers, otherpitfalls you encountered ?
Would you like to support a "free" cause ?

I am working on a 100 mbps design based on ML6652 and LED driver is MAX3263
and Reciver uses philips SA5211 as transimpedance Amplifier .Will be
releasing first shematics in a day or two . I am planning to use VCSEL laser
to begin with .

Since ML6652 has autonegotiation feature all those will be no problem for
100mbps design . Only problem will be soldering ML6652  which will need
specail facility and might not be possible in a home lab .

ML6652 might look like good choice, but I wouldn't recommend it.
There have been reports of malfunctions and bugs in this chip. In my 
opinion this is because of very noisy enviroment.
As you know, fiber optics (ML6652 standart usage) means,
that manufacturer is not taking into consideration that much noise on 
RX. When some bad packets arrive,
ML6652 can freeze (and will, on ocasions).
I've worked on 100Mbps FSO some time ago, even had chance to speak with 
designer of 10Ghz radio.
He told me about problems with interpreting damaged data, and flows in 
cheap convertors.
My design use for TX - MAX3263,
RX - MAX3657 for TIA, and MAX3645 as limiter.
Convertor based on RTL8305SB, IMHO there are better choices, but only in 
+1000 quanties
Cheap PIN photodiode from Vishay (1,8pF).
This design worked, but never finished.
As for VCSEL, it is good choice, if you find some with enought power.
Than you don't need that MAX3263, basic regulation is sufficient.

BTW, things that have pins visible are easy to solder even on home-made 
board with basic soldering tools,
BGA's are harder :)

Subject: [Ronja] 100 mbps FSO
Message-ID: <50d3ad760802220633k31e7bdi533c3135945b9930@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Kevin ,

I will just have a look at MAX3766 and see if i can modify my schematics . I
was looking for a good limiter and as suggested by Eldis i will try and use
MAX3657 for TIA, and MAX3645 because Philips is not ready to supply me
samples  and haven't seen any cheap limiter from Philips.

My Schematics for ML6652 are already ready just few modifications are needed
and  will try to use the new components as suggested by Eldis and you  . Why
i went for ML6652 is because they have already sent me four samples ... so
don't want to even look at other Media converters.

By the way my luxeon star Tx/Rx with 350mA drive current is working
perfectly as desired and I have put a heat sink for the LED . Clock had
objected to the coaxial from the IC to LED but i measured the impedance of
the cable on Network analyser and its inductance is zero so i am not
planning to remove it since it makes making optical head much simpler . Will
be uplodaing the pictures of my Transmitter and Optical head on my blod
tonight for others to have a look.

Looking forward for more comments

For the rest of the people on ronja,
   
  Sorry for the awkward subject of this mail....., i accidently posted this mail on the list, actually i intended to paste PK Yaduvanshi's email address in the TO; section and by mistake pasted it in the subject, sending it to the list.

Which PCB design is that, btw? I'd happily cut one it would be less trouble.

I stripboarded the Ronja 10M Receiver the other day but I still need to 
debug it. .. and I'm not 100% sure I haven't introduced a bug :-)

Off the top of my head I ended up using BAT46 and I think I need to 
debug R106 for it. The PIN diode is OK, voltage across it increases 
dramatically when I shine 680nm laser pointer into it.

Are there any VCSEL devices available in every street corner electronics shop?

Does ML6652 transmit the autonegotiation information over the optical link? If yes,
how?

Its the same case with HPWT superflux LEDs and I doubt any online shop even
sells it these days!! If some one does minimum order is for 100 dollars!!

I have discovered a bi-level DC-nulled modulation that has better efficiency than the
formerly patented IBM 8B10B, which has only 80%. Namely 90% exactly. And doesn't have excessive requirements on the codec. Maximum run length of identical bits is 10 bits.

That means 1Gbps optical Ethernet could be upgraded to 1.125Gbps probably without a change in the PHY or Ronja Manchester 10Mbps could be upgraded to 18Mbps without a change in the PHY. The same for all the other numerous technologies that use 8B10B,
see the Wikipedia article on 8B10B.

Does anything like this already exist? If not, I could try to make a contract with someonethat he can patent it, sell the patent to proprietary designs only, give irrevocable rights to all open source designs, and pay a fulltime salary to me for the rest of my life. Then I could go developing Ronja :)

Anyone interested?

Otherwise I can write an implementation and publish it to constitute a prior art which makes sure it's unpatentable ;-)

Are you also interested in helping fund debugging the 10Mbps Ronja, releasing
the not yet released designs I made and then doing 100Mbps? If yes, how much
$$$ can you fund?

Yeah, we all live in 21st century, and use standart SMD instead of that

It is that hard to figure out? even non-english speaking person wouldn't

I doubt that, have you seen any?


BTW, ML6652 does NOT have to transmit autonegotiation, in fact it is 
hard coded to some mode.. 
at least thats what I remember from studying DS.

There are various modes of operation of ML6652 and by varying the applied
voltage to two pins namely Speed and Duplex to Vcc/2 the IC can be
configured into autonegotiation mode .

Standard SMD is OK for hand soldering as long as it's not too fine pitch or BGA.
It's actually less fuss than the TMD, according to my experience. SMD fortunately
doesn't mean the chip is buggy :)

When I designed Ronja, I bought HPWT-BD- in my corner shop in Prague. Now you can
order from Ondrej Tesar. But I agree, this is one thing that should be probably improved.

Thanks for pointing that out, I knew that it is changeable, but it is

Hello

Look this switch based on RTL chipset    http://lan.neomontana-bg.com/cs8p.php

This switch have  bandwith limit on each port (upload/download)  
128Kbit, 256Kbit, 1MBit, 2Mbit, 4MBit, 8M

Price is only 13$

It is possibly  RONJA 10MBit  work in 20 or 40 Mbit with this swich ?


P.s

sorry for my bad English

Unfortunately, I don't understand the cyrillic letters. If the switch can be switched
into a fixed mode 10Mbps full duplex, either by software or by soldering a jumper,
it is usable. Otherwise your Ronja link will run at 10Mbps half duplex (that doesn't 
mean it will be unusable, just the performance will not be good).

  Hi Gullik,
   
   I found it at a local shop (Karachi - Pakistan), this was the only fast led they had. 
   
   Went there looking for the Hsdl-4230.
   
   By the way Clock advised me that it might be a laser and will require a different drive circuit, any idea, how we might proceed with that.... and i wasn't able to find any safety Class specification of this led in the datasheet... anybody know how we might do that?
   
  Regards,
   
  Saad

Thanks for the pointer.

Sounds like it's yet another OpenRRCP compatible switch ASIC, and 
there's plenty of those around:
    http://openrrcp.org.ru/hardware

I'm wary of RRCP -- it seems that it's completely disabled on most new 
hardware, and even when it hasn't been fused out, soldering pullups to 
TQFP packages is a pain in the behind.

For more practical FSO-ISP use, needing another external microcontroller 
to do RRCP to SNMP in such a design, (for it *is* the standard), is also 
a pain in the behind, leaving aside the consideration of the time cost 
for writing software to do that.

Anyway, to get back to what clock said.

This is a store-and-forward switch ASIC. Realtek sheets state clearly 
the bandwidth throttling uses 802.3x flow control as its throttling 
mechanism rather than early drop.

802.3x PAUSE should "just work" over a RONJA link, but of course it 
assumes the guys at the other end of the link are in your Ethernet 
broadcast domain -- which might be too much network intimacy for some 
individuals.,

I believe this capability however is independent of its ability to 
generate 10MHz link beat, which is what RONJA requires, and this is what 
clock was getting at.

Actually what's more worrying about RRCP switch ASICs is the buggy VLAN 
support, and the lack of 802.1d spanning tree support; there is a 
proprietary Realtek loop detection protocol, but why couldn't they just 
have done 802.1d? But I drift off topic.
