Hi all, Just thought I'd say that the first real test of this system went ok today. All of the projects "funders" were quite impressed. I don't think I flinched when the vehicle hit the concrete barrier, but I might have :-) The car is unrecognizable, and will have to be cut apart to recover what's left of the gear. I'll be interested to see if the PIC's still function. Not bad, I think, considering the development time was cut by 9 weeks. I'm sure none of the people "up top" understand the complexities of creating something like this just from a simple idea. Time for a beer now I think - and relax before the next version. -- Best regards Tony http://www.picnpoke.com mailto:sales@picnpoke.com
