Phil should have some photos and videos of the finished article to put on here - but for now you'll just have to take my word for it. Complete with flashing LED on receipt of data, the unit is now fully boxed and ready for use.
The completion of this is mainly down to Andy's work - from creating the PCB schematic, to working out how to use standard office equipment to assist in etching the board, then drilling and soldering the PCB! Even the box itself was drilled by Andy in the boot of his car.
In other news... The faulty camera was returned weeks ago and the ebay shop really let us down. They have returned our money - but after a long delay and this has forced us to go camera hunting again. This time we're going with a Canon IXUS 75. It meets all of our criteria and is much lighter than our previous selection. I won the camera earlier today on ebay (which Phil then paid for) and we now await delivery.
With the camera delay (and the original problems we had with the receiver) it now seems unlikely that we will hit our target date - but a lot of progress has been made recently, so our date shouldn't slip by too much.
