So, I set about building an open-source ice tracker from DIY components that not only proved to be much, much cheaper but also much more capable than the commercial options. This consumed around 350 milliamperes while running at 5 volts for about 1.7 watts, but the Apollo3 uses just 500 microamperes at 3.3 microwatts.

November 2018 Hands On article, “DIY Pro Audio ” in IEEE Spectrum , and it convinced me it was possible, although I wanted to go beyond just a power amplifier to something more like my lamented Sansui. In commercial product development, an optimized microcontroller would be the way to go, but for my DIY project, a Pi was perfect.

and taking about 6 hours to charge @ 10amps per charger from a standard 115 volt ac plug rated at 15 amps. We hope in the near future to purchase lithium batteries which will most definitely increase the range to about 100 km (62 miles), improve the top speed to about 100 km per hour and have a battery life between 5 and 10 years.
