+## arduino_ad9851.ino
+
+Arduino program to actually transmit the data generated by `encode.py` using
+an AD9851 module.
+
+**Note**: if you use the square wave output (QOUT1 or its inverse QOUT2),
+make sure to tune the comparator voltage to achieve a reasonable duty cycle.
+If followed by a class E amplifier this is about 45% for maximum power output
+(anywhere near 50% should be OK). I use a DC voltmeter and approximate the
+duty cycle with V/5, so that a measured 2V reading translates into a 40% duty
+cycle.
+
+You could of course also take either of the sine wave outputs (ZOUT1, ZOUT2)
+and amplify or feed directly into a low-pass filter to the antenna.
