I am not building today… So I am here doing some work, but I will have some time off a bit later. There are just some things that i have been wanting to get done… So I can cross some things off my to do list. I might go over to work on the plane tomorrow afternoon, and see how the fuel tanks have gone. <\/p>\n

The first task today was connecting some tracking units up to some radios for a client. The tracking units are radio based ones, and operate with a small radio modem. When it needs to send a GPS position it presses the transmit switch on the radio and sends the position as tones. This all takes about a second. The only problem is that when I plug the radio in with the modem then the transmit switch stops working. I suspect this is programming in the radio, but I am not sure. <\/p>\n

I have also been doing more Rabbit work. I am fairly happy with the way that this is all going – I will have to actually take it for a test drive soon. I might do that after i finish this blog entry. This will require some mucking round, mostly with power connectors. I would plug it into the cigarette lighter socket but right now I am out of stocks of the plugs. So I will make up a wiring harness and attach it to another power socket in the car. <\/p>\n

The Joni Mitchel song ‘From Both Sides’ came on a bit earlier. No matter how often I hear this song I find more meaning in it. It is on the ‘Love Actually’ soundtrack – a movie I will have to get one of these days. <\/p>\n

Anyway I am off to play…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
