Ultrasonic Speed Gun Hardware Aspect of the Project:


No soldering is required to assemble or connect the hardware components of this Instructable. It will be difficult but not impossible to hurt your self or equipment as long as you stay within the power range of the USB and Arduino board. But, eye protection should be worn throughout the execution of this Instructable. Caution must be observed when employing the cable crimpers, wire strippers, cable test clips, and header pins. Do not leave the Arduino powered unattended.
