Ultrasonic Listening & Echolocation Hack Notes for August 10th, 2009

Eric and David have agreed to meet regularly on Monday nights to hack on the ultrasonic listening and echolocation kit idea/project. Tonight's goal: review all that we know, brain storm, and decide on a plan of attack for moving forward: what do we want to do/try first?

Review

  • we have what we think is a non-tunable hererodyne ultrasonic listening toy
  • there are also frequency division & time expansion techniques/kits/products
  • we know little about the Spanish scientists who are training people to do echolocation by clicking their palates
  • there are also interesting "directional sound" sensors & displays

Ideas for Moving Forward

  • we could investigate what frequencies it does operate with
  • we could order some of these, or build our own
  • we could find out more, do more research about what academia/the internet knows
  • we could build the Arduino 3D sound compass display
