A good idea, but dumb questions

bitplane wrote in message ... Hello I'm not really in to electronics, but I've had a good idea for a phone hack and was wondering if you guys could give me some pointers. The idea is to tap power from my Nokia 7610's battery, modify the case, add a switch, a bulb, and some infra-red transmitting filter (underexposed film), and have a camera that can truly see in the dark. My dumb questions a Is the power drain likely to hurt my phone or explode my cheapo, fake battery? Is there anything else I need to consider before getting my soldering iron out? Thanks in advance Gaz A tip. Black Perspex acrylic sheet should make a good infra-red transmitting filter, if it's still coloured with the same really dark red dye as it was when I worked for Radiovisor Parent. They used to use it on their large range of infra-red beams etc. http://www.rv-ltd.demon.co.uk/main.html http://www.lucitesolutions.com/ for Perspex. I've modded my phone, I've just got to get some ir filter in place and I'll be ready for night vision mode!! I'm documenting my progress for all to see (successful or not) here - www.bitplane.net/infrared.htm :-) |
