That would be so cool, yet so illegal. But so cool...

not all signals/cities will have mirt, and some are protected by code

Tred · 08-09-2005, 11:03 PM

can you elaborate on the code protection? where did you find this info?

Mirts dont work. Try and fine a opticom those work.

I have pictures of opticoms check out my webshots webpage.

I am gonna GUESS that instead of just a steady frequency like the schematic shows it would be a more complicated on/off pattern.

You could always sit out in front of a ambulance corp, with some sort of infared capture device. That way you would catch the pattern that they use in your area. Of course, you might have to drive in front of an ambulance while they have the lights on too.

have a buddy who made one and says it works alright.... he did also mention it took him a few hours of sitting in a parking lot aimed at a light he knew would work with a mirt to calibrate it.....i would like to try this out as well in a while after i get started on my vr4puter project....

Cool! If your interested in any that I own. Just email me or post in it in the group. I plan on shooting videos of my opticom in action.

Why? There's a difference, IMO, between not completely stopping at a stop sign, or going 5mph over the speed limit, and having a device which changes traffic signals. While unlikely, it'd suck if you change the light to your favor, only to have an approaching cop/paramedic coming from the cross-ways direction try to change the light in their favor and not be able to do it.

[threadjack]WOW! I can use my digicam to detect IR from remotes! Holy Cr@p! I've been messing with IR for a while now and have had no way to test my circuits other than in production! BRILLIANT! ... I just tested with my Exilim and it does indeed work! Tred rocks![/threadjack]

I'm a bit floored by folks who want to twart the technology that saves lives... just so they can get their (all important) destinations 5min ahead of the crowd.

They are harder to get then you think. If you think alot of people have them. Think again. I dont abuse the system mine work. They stay in my basement. I dont carry them everywhere I go like you think.

If someone abuses the system they will get caught! Most people would love to have one/build one. But they never get around to it. I would say chances of hearing about some getting caught is slim.

Yeah everyone that has one thinks likes that.

Also Mirts dont work. I wouldnt waste my money on that crap device.
