Fly-Sight History: Part 2

The second revision was short lived.  I made a printed circuit board (PCB) to hold the video transmitter, to avoid having the pads pull off.  I switched reed switches and was still using an off the shelf battery charger.


I never built a complete one, only the circuit board.  I was still having problems with the reed switches welding themselves, but it would show up after a hundred cycles or so.  The system had some form of high current start that I wasn't able to detect with my multimeter.


This design was good for me, building this first simple circuit board was easier then I thought it would be.  Emboldened I decided to expand the circuit board for V3 . . .
