Very nice! I was wondering what rendering engine is used behind the scenes?

A flat fee on-demand self-driving/rental electrical car service with total driving distance of 500km/mo.
Unfortunately the article does not provide an explanation how the GPIO transmit function was achieved, but most probably it was based on prior art here:

It started with piFM [1] where the possibility was explored to modulate the internal PLL Raspberry Pi with FM and output it on pin GPIO4. This was then further refined and a PWM phase and amplitude modulation technique was applied which made it possible to generate SSB signals [2]. Based on this rpitx [3] was then created which made it possible to basically modulate any type of signal, enabling to use a raspberry pi for analog and digital broadcasts, and to replace key fobs for RF smart plugs and other wireless devices. So yes, it is possible..

Love to use this in my projects. Anyone aware of a C implementation?

This is a javascript tool that gives insight in what modulation does on the I/Q constellation: https://pa3fwm.nl/tools/modulation.html
