I am thinking about making a location detector. I can use it to monitor my cat location in the house area by looking at monitor.How do I make it?Do I need to spend lots of money?
One simple way is to have a necklace on the cat with pulsed LEDs . Then in each room there are optical sensors. Their outputs are amplified through band pass amplifiers tuned to the pulse frequency.
The alternatives of sound generators on the cat would irritate it. Radio methods are more complex because the receivers can detect through walls.
One joke method would be to have the necklace electrically shock the cat and have meow acoustic detectors in each room. I thought of this method as a door bell. From the sound the human makes you can tell who is at the door.
thanks for the advice.by the way,how can I get the signal on my monitor?
Where can I find the circuit diagram or the informaion about the beacon which will be using RF frequency?
thanks for the advice.Anyway,I am still interested in making it.can someone help me.I only would like to find the location of the cat by using a portable monitor.
