Part 1 - July 11, 2001
My first project in my illustrious pursuit of cool gadgets and blowing stuff up will be a radar gun. (Ramsey is down right now, but you can see what the kit's about here. Keep checking to see if Ramsey's back up.)
Maybe we can find out Tux's terminal velocity...hehehe. I got the plans and electronic parts from Ramsey electronics. I got the housing (soup cans...clam chowder to be exact) from my lunch. All the rest I will make up as I go along.
The first thing I am doing today is organizing all my parts and getting started soldering the board. I hope that I can avoid burning myself. I have found out I'm short a couple parts, of course. I will just pick these up at Radio Shack, as dealing with the hassle of trying to get Ramsey to replace the couple parts will not be worth it. They should only cost me a couple bucks.
