- Hi everyone. This project is not at all dangerous, and is designed only
- to ease your effort if you are tailing someone in a car. Often if you are
- staking someone out, you want to be able to find their car in a line of
- traffic. This little device will help you tremendously.
-
- Shopping List:
-
- 1 10mm Green Huge-ass LED Diag: d1 Radio Shack # 276-215
- 1 Pack/5 180 Ohm resistors Diag: r1 RS# 271-1110
- 1 Pk/5 9v battery connectors Diag: b1 RS# I forget
- 1 9v battery (the reactangle)
-
- Wire these up with the following schematic:
- r1
- + =======/\/\/\====| = is wire
- b1 9v LED d1 /\/\/\ is the resistor
- - =================| | is wire
-
- Simple enuff (I *HOPE* you followed that). You COULD add a switch, I guess,
- but if you just unhook the battery when it's not on, that's fine. Put this
- in a nice small package, and add a couple magnets to the case (or to the
- side of the 9v, if you don't make a box for it) so it'll stick to the car.
- When you need to tail someone, just connect the battery and stick it to the
- side of their car (somewhere that they won't find it, but you can see it),
- with the LED angled so it's bright when you look from your car. Now, if you
- lose the person at night in a pack of cars, just look until you see the one
- with the green dot near the back. You can see when they turn, too. This is
- good as now you can follow from a car or two back, and not be as suspicious.
- NOTE: This will work on one 9v battery for like 3 days straight.
