However would post details of making the sensor this weekend anyway.Tanmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05342457728508357508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240993750799145183.post-25403600209232246032011-10-28T12:52:44.489+05:302011-10-28T12:52:44.489+05:30Dear Tanmay,

Waiting to test it through a series of dry days before I build the next prototype.<br /><br />I'll try and procure a latching solenoid and solar panel next. I'll be in touch with you for any advice you may have regarding these.<br /><br />thnx!Tanmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05342457728508357508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240993750799145183.post-80718018128416438892011-08-02T08:07:31.593+05:302011-08-02T08:07:31.593+05:30I am very interested.
