New gadget prototyping

Bored. Started a new project. The circuitry unit I am building are the wired chips that interface a timer to a relay board.

The control circuit will receive a selected pulse from the counter and alternate the on off cadence of the two Relay board. This will give me a left/right direction of a motor. With this motion of the motor, I will sweep a angled di transducer left and right at a controlled rate and time. A real sweep sonar.

Maybe it will work. Love tinkering.

Here is a Pic of my prototype.

It works. Waiting on a relay board.

Just don’t get your boat up to 88 mph with the flux capacitor on.

Haven’t seen a digital lab since 1974 at Toftoy Hall on Redstone Arsenal.

Yeah….12 months worth. Then my last year in the Army in 1979-80 I spent there teaching. Then off to Saudi for 21 years working for Raytheon on HAWK and PATRIOT program. Got to come back to states every year during those 21 years for a lot of updates on the systems. My last school was for 7 months on latest updates on PATRIOT system in 2000-2001. But that was it….had to retire early due to some medical issues. Am amazed everyday by something that shows me how fast it all is advancing. But Ohms law never changes…and Boolean logic is the same…LOL

I am familiar with the HAWK. I was R&R in Okinawa from Vietnam. My brother was a HAWK specialist. Spent a couple nights in a HAWK bunker. Biggest radar screen I ever seen in my life. Also worked on KD2 drones and Regulus II missiles. Don't remember much about them. NAVY used them for target practice. Navy big guns could bring the KD down but they had to call in the F8 fighters to bring the Regulus down. I was at Point Mugu Missile Center at that time.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once, and I'm still impressed. I am clueless to it's function or purpose, but still impressed.

You would find this interesting. In the 80,s they upgraded the HAWK to digital. Before, the High Powered Illuminator Radar had 155 adjustments on it, and it took about 8 hours to do the weekly check. After it was digitized there were only 5 adjustments, and the weekly checks took all of 15 minutes. Quite an upgrade.
