The Previous Next-Gen
Mom and Aunt Gigi are standing in front of a box The Rookie helped design for power companies which calculated 3-phase voltage and current and detected faults based on software sampling in a DSP of sensors mounted at the top of the pole. The power line info along with remote control capability was provided back to the power company control center via a blazing 1200 BPS analog modem.
P.S. The Rookie showed this picture to the customer and suggested that the box should be mounted higher on the pole when the pole is in a schoolyard… hopefully they moved it up a little bit. :-)
