KimT Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 Aaah! I see your point Great work nevertheless. I really like the calculator you did, must have taken a lot of time Quote
Parax Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 What I'm talking about isn't a system designed into a single vehicle Honestly, I'm surprised that sort of adaptation hasn't come out of the RC market sorry I misunderstood! But it is kind of there... It may be worth checking on Radio Transmission Regulations, I know that in the UK it has only recently become legal to broadcast telemetry from RC planes and again this is very limited frequency wise without a licence.. I dont know if the bandwidth exists in the accepted telemetry ranges for video? as for cars I dont know! I do recall that in the US the hobby rocket guys all get thier Amatuer Radio Licences in order to broadcast Video/Locator beacons from the rockets.. Just because you can buy it on ebay from China doesn't make it legal... As for the price agreed its high but thats UK prices...(exchange rate is better now its only $950) its the first, obviously competition and mass production will reduce the price, but its 'free market' forces which Im sure you understand. I'm sure $200 cost is possible too, but I'm not going to do it! are you considering it? And I'm sure Lego could build something too, but what size glasses? ages 8-12 or adult? and what focal plane? short focus is bad for the eyes for long periods, LEGO wont do it if it 'could' be harmful! and don't forget anything that transmits (other than BT and other accepted standards) needs radio frequency approval in every country... what you buy off ebay is not going to be up to Lego standards, And many ebay products are not legal in various countries! like those plugin ipod FM transmitters for car radios, they were illegal here until a few months ago! It would be cool to have this setup for lego but until a global standard with enough bandwidth for video, (Wireless LAN or the new wireless USB!) is accepted and used enough for Lego developers to start playing with its not likely to be considered.. wait 3 years! or since you have the contacts put forward a proposal... I could forsee a display screen (maybe watch? but preferably 3 inch screen) and a camera transmitting a still image via BT (is it type 1 thats 100m??) on request.. but it wouldn't be very cheap once fully tested and made to LEGO standards...
