We ask, who wouldn’t want a rotating motion and distance tracking radar?
Sure in today’s day and age anyone could purchase a wide-angle sonar or IR solution that achieves the same goal, but [LuckyLarry] took it old school and made his own rotating radar. He used an Arduino, servo, and ultrasonic sensor as a base to gather data, and the open source programming language Processing to draw the data on the screen. He says it’s a little inaccurate currently, but will try out some other sensors in the future. –> • Tags: • arduino • ir • sonar • sensor • arduino hacks • ultrasonic • radar November 16 2009, 7:00pm | More » I posted to hackaday.com Radar detector tester http://hackaday.com/2009/11/15/radar-detector-tester/ [Blacklight99] made this cool tool. It is a tester for those radar detectors that people keep in their cars. Though this seems like it would rarely be a tool we would need, it’s an interesting project. Some speed guns that the police use have a “stealth” mode that makes them invisible to some detectors. This tool can tell you if your detector is
