I find your project very exciting. Do you think it would be possible to convert a tv to radar PPI display?
An interesting idea! PPI's generally use phosphors that don't fade as fast as in TV's so that the image on the screen remains persistent throughout the sweep.I find your project very exciting. Do you think it would be possible to convert a tv to radar PPI display?
Galvanometer is the mechanism, ammeter the function, no?I think you'll find it's actually a moving coil milliamp-meter (or possibly microamp meter).
But what is the hardware you are using for the signal?Yes indeed, using the TVout library, which can be found here. It says it works with RCA plugs, but it also works with standard aerials.
Literally, two normal wires connected to the arduino as per the library instructions, with the signal wire connected to the central pin of the antenna receiver and the ground wire to the outer sheath. Apart from the 2 resistors mentioned in the library, no other hardware.But what is the hardware you are using for the signal?
