From the project
Synchronized wireless audio recording system
zeus-le is a system to allow a set of wireless digital audio recorders to maintain sub-sample accurate time synchronization over indefinite periods. A central node broadcasts periodic synchronization packets over Bluetooth LE, which are received by an arbitrary number of recording nodes. The recording nodes use a digital phase-locked loop (PLL) to keep the audio sample clock in sync with the reference. The PLL is implemented using a Kalman filter and linear quadratic regulator.
