  • 2014-06-29: Completed routing TX PCB and checklisted it. Started designing the RX.
  • 2014-06-28: Started putting idea together, designed transmitter BOM/schematic, started working on PCB layout. 5 airwires left.

Architecture

  • Small module that attaches to one skate
    • IR emitter, microcontroller, and battery
    • When switched on, transmits a code repeatedly
    • Rechargeable via USB
  • Base unit with an IR receiver and display
