A February 2020 test that I shot on video. While there had, of course, been years of tests of the system, those were development tests–of the electronics, and of the firmware. This checks the loudness outside. The device is not inside an enclosure, but wrapped flimsily atop a saddle. The alarms and messages are not […]

(In fact, it was an obstacle since the outset 😉 !) The enclosure is being selected, and will subsequently be tested. Once that succeeds, enough interest has […]

But, it will take as many pages to write as it took years to get to here.Therefore, I will post intermittently, hopefully completing the picture over time. Back in June 2016, my latest idea for a product arose. I […]
I have a million things to do. <sigh>
