2.4 GHz? #27

My RC car runs on 2.4 GHz, what should I do?

gideongrinberg commented 4 years ago

@anishanne I have this issue too. 2.4 GHz is 2400 MHz, which seems wrong for watch.html. Maybe someone else knows. Have you tried 24 MHz or 2400 MHz?

Unfortunately, due to how the signal is generated, the Pi can't generate signals over 250 MHz. In order to get a consistent signal, we need to use the Pi's DMA controller, which is clocked at 500 MHz. Because you need to turn the pin off and on to generate a signal, the fastest you can do as 250 MHz. 2.4 GHz will likely never be possible.
