But we can also exploit the fact that computer speaker and microphone can actually also work with ultrasonic frequencies that are inaudible to human ears, this way we can also transmit information over sound that we can’t hear.Ģ. The encoded audible tones played through the speaker are susceptible to humans and it sounds like a tiny piece of digital bird song, hence the name “chirp”.
#Transmit data tv
This enables Chirp to be used on any consumer device that has a speaker and microphone in it, like mobile phones, Laptops, PA system etc and can transmit information even through YoutTube stream or TV broadcast.
#Transmit data Bluetooth
In contrast with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth which uses Radio frequencies, Chirp encodes data in tones that can be played (transmitted) using any computer speaker and received through any computer microphone without the need of having any additional hardware like RF chips. What is the technology behind chirp and how does it work?Ĭhirp is a way to transmit information using sound waves. The answers for which is encapsulated belowġ.
Daniel Jones - CTO of Chirp, to discuss few questions. To know more about Chirp and its possible applications, Circuit Digest approached Dr. It can also be used in microcontroller platforms like ARM and supports development platform like ESP32 and Raspberry Pi. The SDK is cross platform and already supports Android, iOS, Windows and python among others. The SDK encodes the data into a unique audio stream and plays it through the device speaker, this audio stream then can be picked up by any device using a microphone and decode it, to obtain the actual message. On top of that the SDK is platform independent and also supports low power data communication. While there are already a lot of options to select from like BLE, NFC, RFID, LoRa, Sigfox etc, a company called Chirp has developed an SDK that allows exchange of data over sound by simply using the device speaker and microphone without the need of paring. With the electronics buzz towards IoT, Machine to Machine Communication and Connected devices, design engineers are on constant hunt to find a sublime mode of communication technique to exchange information between two electronics device.
