I want to make a USB thing that connects to the computer and sends out digital data over a 2.4 Ghz channel. So that would be something like a router. Those signals would be read by another module somewhere else which would not be a computer, but would have a 2.4 thing too and a power supply.
I understand first I have to learn how to make an embedded system that controls a USB interface to the computer. Once I have a certain byte out of the computer to that little Microprocessor sitting outside, its ready to send that data to the 2.4Ghz section of the same board so the byte can be sent out into the air and received wirelessly by the other 2.4 Ghz embedded module. Bi-directional.
I can probably learn how to do the USB embedded thing but I could not find anything on the internet on how to build a 2.4ghz system. I saw some 900Mhz stuff but I dont want to use that. Also I dont want to use stuff thats already been built and is being sold by companies. I've seen some of them. I want to put it together myself on a circuit board.
I'm doing this for experience to get ready for an embedded career. I have a pretty extensive education in electronics, microprocessors and such. I've just been out of touch with the EE field for a few years but I can still do it.
Any pointers on how or where I can start?
