Quick Tour¶

Getting Started with REVA v4.0

Overview¶

REVA v4.0 combines a fixed carrier generator with mathematical packet libraries to produce deterministic packetized waveforms.

Operation typically consists of five steps.

Step 1 — Select the Carrier Frequency¶

The carrier frequency is defined inside the firmware.

Example:

#define CARRIER_HZ 90000

The carrier engine is generated by Timer1.

This frequency remains independent from packet scheduling.

Step 2 — Select the Packet Category¶

The active packet category is also selected inside the firmware.

Example:

#define ACTIVE_PACKET_CATEGORY CATEGORY_GOLDEN_RATIO

Available categories include:

Harmonic
Subharmonic
Octave
Odd / Even
Fibonacci
Lucas
Golden Ratio
Prime

Each category contains multiple packet families.

Step 3 — Upload the Firmware¶

After selecting the desired configuration, the firmware is uploaded to the Arduino Nano.

The hardware platform remains unchanged.

Step 4 — Adjust Parameters¶

Once operating, the front panel buttons are used for runtime control.

Typical adjustments include:

packet frequency,
packet family,
pulse scaling,
gap scaling.

These controls allow fine tuning without changing the carrier engine.

Step 5 — Observe the Result¶

The resulting waveform can be examined using:

oscilloscopes,
spectrum analyzers,
current probes,
differential probes,
external measurement systems.

REVA itself generates deterministic packet structures.

Measurement and interpretation are performed externally.

Definition of an Experiment¶

For REVA v4.0, an experiment is defined by:

Carrier Frequency
        +
Packet Category
        +
Packet Family
        +
Operator Adjustments

Together these parameters determine the final waveform envelope.
