The micro video camera arrived yesterday. It is very small! The image is good and the transmission is great. ( I would think it is perfect for a rocket...)
I'll be putting it together over the next few days, then show it to my doctors. I haven't mentioned this yet to them, so I think they will be very interested in it, when they see it complete and ready to go.
Micro electronics are pretty neat. This LED I have been testing for the headlight has been burning for almost two days on a half-dead 3 volt button battery. Today (after tending to SHX-15B orders) I will be testing the video camera on 6 volts running off two 3 volt button batteries.
I am designing a tracking array, basically two cardboard tubes with wire wrapped in a spiral around the tubes. They will be in a simple PVC pipe rack, both tubes parallel to the ground, one will be in front of me perpendicular to my frontal plane, the other tube at 90 degrees of the first and to my side. They will be directional and pick up the signal being broadcast by the probe. A simple meter will show the signal strength, and would be used to determine the probes location.
Another way would be to use a stud finder, but I trigger them anyway, just point on at me close enough and it goes off, so that probably won't work. (I am one of those people that can get a florescent tube to flash by rubbing my hand over it. )
Maybe I'll set up a webcast and show the world what I am like deep inside...
I'll post a few pics shortly.
