Hoping someone recognizes this prototyping board.

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

First off I'm just getting my feet wet with electronics so apologies for any misuse of terms and such. image

 

The Background

I've been playing around with the Arduino (Uno rev3+Macbook Pro) and marvelling at all the possibilities it offers a weekend hacker like myself. I've been looking around trying to think of a specific project to really put some fire behind my tinkering. I decided I really wanted to build an interactive recreation of a prop from a television show my wife and I recently got hooked on.

 

In the television show Supernatural the characters use what looks like a home built EMF meter/detector. I think it would be cool to use an Arduino to build a functioning EMF detector that would also make the sounds heard in the show.

 

The Project

What I'm thinking of doing is working out my circuit and Arduino code on my full size Uno and once I have it working transfer the design to an Arduino Nano form factor. I could then build the prop replica around the Nano/Battery/Circuit. I've got my basic EMF code based on Aaron Alai's and I'm working out some sound and analog meter tie-in. You can read the full details and see the many more reference images on my blog.

The Help - This Prototyping Board

Thankfully the prop itself has a home built look to it (not a TNG tricorder or anything). I've been trying to track down sources for the various electronic components used but I'm really stuck trying to find the prototyping board used to create the actual prop.

 

[Below you can see the partial logo/name]

It appears to be a green, round pad, per hole glass/fiber board with some logo or name in the bottom corner. Only part of the name/logo can be seen in any of the research images I've uncovered but it looks like S??TAX or SR?TAX something like that.

 

I'm hoping that someone might recognize this board or the partial name. Any help or clues you could offer for this prototype board, or any of the parts you see in the photos, will be GREATLY appreciated.

 

Thanks for reading this post.
