How about the very low tech bell? I know of one person who clips a very small cowbell on the dog when he is not working. Or to get a little higher tech a remote control alarm of some type. I don't think that the radio receivers would work. The receivers would be too close together to accurately identify the direction. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Sexton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 5:49 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] radio direction finding project
I'm working on a project for a friend. She wants to be able to train dogs off leash and she has to be able to know where the dog is. My idea is a belt with eight tactile feedback units spaced equally around a belt and A radio transmitter for the dog to wear. Some sort of direction finding antanna. Maybe each of the eight units could be receivers and a micro processor could determine which one is receiving the stronger signal. Any ideas at all? How could I go about developing something like this. What are good sources for parts, etc. David [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ If you would like to join the Blind Computing list, then visit the following address for more information: http://jaws-users.com/mailman/listinfo/blind-computing_jaws-users.com For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
