Sound Lure: Revised Version

 As part of the electronics part of this project targetting Stoats we have been testing and constantly revising the units and making adjustments.   This work is exclusively being carried out by Andrew Hornblow from Opunake who is one of the partners working on the project.   

Recent adjustments for the units include a track being played when the power is connected to the circuit and a blinking LED light as part of the set up.   Both these features allow immediate confirmation that the unit is working and operating.    This video is an example of the unit working:

As we have mentioned previously on this blog these units are now appearing in a variety of locations including New Plymouth Airport, the McKenzie Country South Island, Wataroa - the West Coast of the South Island.    The latest units are being deployed in South Taranaki being used by the Department of Conservation and Project Mounga.   These are specifically targetting Stoats with a sound profile that reflects this.
