Hey gang,
I just remember that I didn't post the part about the Knight Rider's Scanner! Yes we all know that Michael Knight's famous car KITT had the lights that when side to side with a chase effect to it. There are alot of people building their own set of scanners and selling them on sites like eBay, and there are some private small businesses who are building and selling them. I will list them later on this blog for those of you who are interested in purchasing one. I decided not to buy one instead I am going to build one from scratch. I will be using information provided by the Knight Rider Project which is a manual that provide information on building your own Knight Rider electronics. The manual is old but the information is a great teaching tool. If you have this manual then I will begin with Stage 1: The First Step: Designing the following boards:
1. Scanning Lights Controller
2. High-Power Interface for Scanner Lights Controller
I also secured a blueprint which shows you how to build the scanner bar from scratch. let me tell you the blueprint is very detail and very easy to understand. As of this writing I had already build the scanner bar per the blueprint. Now, I did make some mistakes like for example: I used a product called J D weld, very strong stuff once it cured. Later I learned that most of the other Knight Rider builders welded their scanner bar together. Since I don't own any welding equipment I used what I know to work. This also bring up the second mistake, I was trimming the scanner bar and two main parts of the scanner bar broke off. To repair my scanner bar will be welding it together. So now I am rebuilding the scanner bar and will rework the electronics from the Knight Rider Project Manual. Check back later on this post for picture and current development on the Knight Rider Nose Project.
