The Next phase of the HPV Project is under way and on order. I'll be =
selling Audiotropism (AT) Modules beginning May 1, 2000! These will be =
fully assembled SMT boards that are not only easily attached to your =
HPV, but can be used to bias transistors on any of your robotic =
offspring. The board is set in the positive AT (moves toward sound) =
mode, but can easily be changed to negative AT by switching the position =
of the electret microphones. =20
The ATM will be sold for $12.00US (+ $3.00US for shipping)
The next stage is already drawn up and just waiting for me to sell =
enough of the ATM's to break even. =20
Future HPV developmental stages:
1. Sonics (chirper and chirp counter) on tap for June or July.
2. Start/Stop circuit July or August
3. Power Smart Head! (really!) August or September
4. Advanced Communications(BS1) Before Christmas=20
There should be a really kick-booty HPV kit available for Christmas =
selling for about $100.00US. =20
