One more week until our next SMART meeting. Just a reminder that we'll be meeting at the Renton Technical College instead of our usual location.

The idea is just as you describe and I did try use the View feature to see how directional the sound sensor is. My (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.smart)
