Project idea.

How's this for a project for someone clever.
A picaxe with a GPS and transmitter that fit's into onto a dog collar
which transmits its position back to a reciever, so when your dog runs
off you can find it easily. Could also be used with kids in shopping
centers or attach it to cars or motorbikes to find them if they're
stolen (depending on the range of the device), Could even work through
the mobile phone service maybe.

Anyone?
 
Commercial mobile phones with gps are available now - great idea and
parents feel more secure knowing exactly where their kids are

** Dogs are legally required to be kept in locked yards and be on leashes
when in public. Dogs are also required to have an identifying micro-chip
fitted. PLUS - any sane dog owner fits a tag with their phone number onto
the dog's collar.

So, unless you live in a rural area with no houses for miles somone will
find the dog for you and you will soon enough know about it.

Or maybe the dog catcher will find it and take it to a pound - then you
pay a nice fine to the council.

** Such a device would be spotted on a bike and removed by the thief.

Ones for cars are already on sale - fuckwit.

Like the idiotic dog next door, you'd bark at anything. BTW do you chase
cars
and sniff other dog's butts in your spare time? :p
 
OK you can receive GPS locations.

How will you transmit the coordinates back to base?

If you are out side GSM mobile phone range - how will you transmit... if
your little doggy runs off in the country side.

How far will the transmit power need to go (distance)?

Hw often will you transmit the coordinates?

How long do you want the battery to last?
(range, Tx power, Tx duty cycle and battery capacity will effect the battery
life)

What is your target price for such a device?


It's very easy to have an idea ... but much harder to put in to practice....
with all the practical factors.

I think you will find http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=plonk
prodides a vastly superior reference.


plonk

<networking, abuse> (Possibly influenced by British slang
"plonk" for cheap booze, or "plonker" for someone behaving
stupidly; usually written "*plonk*") The sound a newbie
makes as he falls to the bottom of a kill file. While this
term originated in the Usenet newsgroup
news:talk.bizarre, by 1994 it was widespread on Usenet and
mailing lists as a form of public ridicule.

Another theory is that it is an acronym for "Person with
Little Or No Knowledge".

The word "plonker" also occurs in British slang as meaning prick or penis,
it is sometimes also used in toddler talk to mean turd.
 
This is getting educational... which is what newsgroups are supposed
to be about. :)

** Thought every Aussie knew what "plonk" was !!!

The original ANZACS on their way to the trench slaughter of WW1 would
politely ask for a glass of " plonk " at a French tavern - a bad
pronunciation of " blanc " = short for " vin blanc " = white wine in
French.

It later became the colloquial Aussie name for all form of wine sold by the
flagon - like Hock, Reisling, Moselle etc. plus all the fortifieds.

The other common meaning of " plonk " emulates the sound of something
falling to the floor.
