In this project, we will be using the conventional police method <strong>of</strong> pointing the camera <strong>and</strong> radar<br />
gun down the road. As you can see from the diagram, police radar can detect vehicle speeds<br />
when the vehicle is up to a mile away. The radar units we used in this project have a range from<br />
100 ft. to ⅛ mile.<br />
Problems with the Mattel <strong>Speed</strong> gun<br />
When the Mattel Toy’s speed gun was taken out <strong>of</strong> it’s housing (fig. 19, Ref. 5); we<br />
discovered the following problems:<br />
Fig. 19 Inside <strong>of</strong> Mattel Radar Gun Fig. 20 Radar Gun Circuit Board<br />
1. The circuit board was a double layered board (fig. 20, Ref. 5)<br />
2. The circuit contained an embedded ATmega88 microcomputer<br />
3. The source code on the microprocessor was locked<br />
4. The locks could be removed only by erasing the entire code<br />
5. Even though the ATmega88 has UART pins, we doubted the code was written to address<br />
them.<br />
6. A search <strong>of</strong> the Internet revealed only one partial circuit diagram which was <strong>of</strong> little help.<br />
