[Electronics-Talk] Buzz clip

Sat Apr 1 02:48:58 UTC 2017

Yeah, sometimes they think just because they can go under a branch, we can 
too.
The guide I had must have thought I was a limbo champion once, because he 
walked under a table.  Someone said his facial expression
looked as if he was thinking, "I can go under this table.  Why can't you?"

>> I have the BuzzClip.  We haven't used it much yet, because it came in the
>> winter and didn't attach very well to a heavy coat.  It's meant more to
>> attach to a shirt collar or pocket.  Now the weather is warming up, we'll
>> give it another try.
>> It has a clip on the back, and a cord to go around one's neck.  It has a
>> "nose" on the front, which is the part that sends out the sonar signal, 
>> so
>> it seems important that the nose face straight ahead, which takes some
>> arranging.  Then the whole thing buzzes when the sonar signal hits
>> something
>> within the range, which one sets to either 3 or 6 feet.
>> When I first tried it, I was distracted by messing around with it, and 
>> not
>> paying good attention to my dog, so he in turn started messing about. 
>> But
>> after a bit I got my stuff together, and the BuzzClip worked as
>> advertised.
>> I got it for my husband mostly, who uses a cane and is taller than me, so
>> he's often banging his head on things.  I think, if he wears the BuzzClip
>> on
>> his shirt pocket or collar, it will warn him of head-high obstacles.
>> We'll see how that works in practice.
