Guest Kallisti Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 And suddenly it doesn't seem so good... WiFi AP discovered by you: 3 Points Cell Tower discovered by you: 15 Points Wifi already mapped: 1 Point Cell tower already mapped: 2 Points
Guest little_mumford Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Oh yes nice plan would be very interesting to see what route the royal mail send it on! Stuart
Guest James Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 hey paul, that looks like the same as one of my external battery packs. the problem is i could not get mine to supply enough power to keep the phone charged> have you tested it yet?
Guest Stuart_f Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 If we could also add some sort of accelerometer in the package will let us know just how much rough handling our mail experiences and if we can tie the output to time we can reference it to location so we would know if the sorting office or the delivery man is the guilty party. There must be a cheap 5v powered accelerometer kit somewhere although a quick google didn't turn any up. :)
Guest James Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 transducers eh! :) i work for the following:- www.beran.co.uk (Vibration monitoring) and www.helitune.com (Helicopter vibration blancing)
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Posted on James' behalf: Wicked! :) P
Guest tsutton Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Does the GPS/phone signal still go through OK from that foam? Looking good...
Guest furby Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Posted on James' behalf: http://content.modaco.net/jamesfoam.jpg Wicked! :) P Sweet. Have you done any testing?
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Just liasing with Navizon to see if we can get the X600 working... P
Guest James Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 oh coolio!! Hope they figure it out!
Guest hoyler30589 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 i live on east coast near scarborough and would happily pass it on. sounds like an excellent idea. i feel a record coming on
Guest Mr_Gee Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) great idea! i was thinking, are you going to disable the gprs/umts/hspda to save battery? Edited January 25, 2008 by Mr_Gee
Guest Monolithix Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 All but the GPRS, need to upload the live tracker stats :) :D
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Exactly! No 3G, but want live tracking :) P
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 I'm thinking I might need to source a XDA Orbit or P3300 for this experiment? P
Guest Monolithix Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 That could work...do they have external GPS antenna sockets? Might help to lay one inside the box?
Guest ScrewlooseAZ Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 No clue what the laws are like there, but in the US you are not allowed to mail devices that are running / giving off some sort of signal.
Guest James Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 how are they going to tell??? P.s. In America there all paranoid anyway! :)
Guest ScrewlooseAZ Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 I don't know. Maybe the same way they scan luggage for such things? I know I've been pulled off planes before to check my luggage.
Guest FragMeister Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 I don't know. Maybe the same way they scan luggage for such things? I know I've been pulled off planes before to check my luggage. You obviously look like a terrorist :D or someone with a Screw Loose :) :D :D
Guest bigdish Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Hi Paul Have you had a chance to evaluate the http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t...&t_mode=des power pack yet ? r Andrew
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Well, i've plugged it in and it seems to work :D I need to source me cheap P3300 / Orbit, then we're on :) P
