Wifi broadcasting Chip?

Crash1hd

Hello All,

 

I am very new (and I do mean new) to the modding community, I have an idea for something but I really dont know where to start.  The biggest challenge is the following.

 

Does anyone know of a chip  (I not even sure if this is possible) that broadcast / pulses a unique signal?

 

Thanks in advance

  • The problem here is that for say a phone or tablet to pick it up you would be using either WIFI or Bluetooth since these are already included with the phone. A more power efficient solution for this simplistic app would be a small 433MHZ transmitter module and a small low power controller to squark out the unique code but you would then need to make a reciever for the whole thing which is more involved.

     

    Probably the simplist way of doing this would be  a Bluetooth module and acontroller to send the ID then pair with it and the phone.

     

    The BT modules are around the £3++ range depending on where you get them from and the exact spec,

     

    Personally I would go for my solution above if you are doing more than one or two devices ...would make acool project !

    Basically a low-jack that you phone/tablet can trace...

     

    Bluetooth and 433MHZ transmitter wouldn't be able to trace it's location world wide...
