| Summary |
If you have ever played Frisbee Golf you know that finding your disc is sometime difficult, if not impossible. Losing discs is disappointing and expensive, so I set out to find a solution to the issue of loosing discs when frolfing. The first problem I faced when building my device was the communication method between the disc and receiver. I luckily found an inexpensive transmitter receiver pair for the frequency of 434 MHz. Later I learned that this was not quite enough so I researched farther and found a logarithmic amplifier that would output a DC voltage corresponding to the dB level of the high frequency input it received. From this DC voltage I am able to back out the distance the disc is away from a simple equation or look-up tables that I will create from experiments. Initial tests show the range capability to be about 15 yards I was hoping for a much greater range. With further testing I will hopefully be able to fix this issue and make my product marketable.
