strayed from the flock





Look at my receiver. Is not it pretty? I bet you would like one just like it. It is swell.







Look at my transmitter. I can wirelessly reach and touch someone. It makes me feel tingly.







I tried to be inconspicuous, but failed. It was a decent shot. At least I recycled.







more of the same.







Wired for action. Boy do I love flocking in Union Square. This was the second wonderful week of flocking with my little gaggle of the DT community.







All I can say is sexy sexy. Look at me. Rawr.







Inside coat pockets are good places to put receivers. If you need a tutorial about how to do such things, I will be more than happy how to explain how I put it in my pocket.







Matt likes to wirelessly control large groups. Matt is very good at this. He plays a lot of video games. He may secretly be a sadistic bastard.







Grrrrr.... Just like wrestle mania, except I'm sideways and I'm wearing my project on a tactical belt. No heavy weight champion of the world title belt for me. I cry myself to sleep at night.







This is the pretty plastic box my reciever found its way into because that is where receivers like to be. In little plastic boxes. I learned that in class I am proud to say. My transmitter is still in a water bottle. Yum.







And here is what the final circuit looks like. You can get your own schematic at rentron.com under the wirless 433MHZ transmitter combo link thing. Ours is basically that with 4 motors being flipped by NPN relays coming off the latches of the 4-bit decoder chip. It is pretty straight forward if you know what you're doing. If you don't, you can ask me, but thats probably a watse of time for us both. You're better off going to Tina's page and checking it out. She is much more interesting.

I do stuff for wireless class. really.





motors in a shirt. woot.







Hug me to make it stop.







a hat with lights.







receiver with transistors and stuff.







transmitter connected to a pic chip that pulls pins high based on which switches are toggled on and off. thesis is a great motivator.







the ravaged remains of a well camoflaged flocking trigger.
