<p>> GPS is also unreliable in Ukraine, especially near the front line.<p>There are GPS antennas that physically can block out signals that are not coming from the sky with a huge amount of decibels. Maybe Aliexpress has some of them in stock? This was heavily ITAR-ed but this ban was lifted recently.<p>Other option: try to sync against the DCF77 signal from Germany. Not only the beep-beep-beep time signal but also the integrated phase modulation. Jamming VLF is difficult. 77KHz is in the range of ADCs.<p>Then make a voter: if GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/Beidou is available prefer them, if not fall-back to DCF77. If this fails: free-running.</p>

<p>That's not even complicated.<p>You can use ESP32 with GPS modules and their PPS signals. The PPS signal from the module  often has has a roughly precision around 60ns against the global GPS standard.<p>With that signal you can PID-control an internal timer of the ESP32 - which then can be used to timestamp audio frames. Send that to a central host over Wifi and you can use your standard localization math.<p>The trick is to use the internal ESP32 10MHz hardware which automatically kicks timestamps into a register if a GPIO does something. Not using high-level C constructs that must eat their way through x API layers.<p>This  costs like 20€.</p>

<p>You’re considering whether it would be possible - and perhaps quite elegant - to use an XY‑scanner to raster‑scan the end of an optical fiber across a prism, disperse the light, and then capture the resulting spectrum with a CCD line sensor.<p>With that setup, each pixel on the line sensor would effectively record the full spectral content of the light at that scanned position, all in a single acquisition.</p>

<p>As a computer engineer I usually copy reference schematics and board layouts from datasheets the vendors offers. 95% of my hardware problems can be solved with it.<p>Learning KiCad took me a few evenings with YT videos (greetings to Phil!).<p>Soldering needs much more exercise. Soldering QFN with a stencil, paste  and oven (or only pre-heater) can only be learned by failing many times.<p>Having a huge stock of good components (sorted nicely with PartsDB!) lowers the barrier for starting projects dramatically.<p>But as always: the better your gear gets - the more fun it becomes.</p>
