Receiver update

Our new receiver has now been soldered up and tested - and it works! This is largely down to Andy's impressive soldering skills (the IC was pretty much machine quality!) and despite the fact I'd put the voltage regulator the wrong way round - though, in fairness, the Micrel regulator device was counter-intuitive.

Next week we will be begin working on the transmitter, which won't be on stripboard like our receiver, but will be a proper PCB. There are a quite a few reasons for this, but weight and size are a major factor. We will also be taking our first look at the Canon A560 camera and seeing what its capable of.
