Play music on a speaker payload-anyone ever do it?

[Shacky]

I have this silly desire to play music from a speaker from my drone. Maybe helicopter sounds, the music from Apocalypse Now or maybe Griegs Morning Suite. Am I an outlier on this?

BTW, mostly, I like to take videos and pictures, but I thought this might be fun.

I would be concerned with the magnet on the speaker. It could screw with your compass .

Excellent point-thanks for mentioning it.

You could use:
Small MP3 player --> Like this
1 or 2 small speakers --> Like this

I would keep the little speakers away from the compass.

I was thinking of using this. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SP3CLCE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's only 4 ounces and has a built in media player. I was going to make a lightweight harness, possibly out of rubber bands so that it would be centered and hang down slightly.

I have this desire to mount my 250w laser on my drone. The problem is you cannot run the laser for more than a minute at a time otherwise it will overheat, so that is a very short flight. I need someone to build me a remote switch that I can solder into the laser so that I can turn it off and on from a distance and not have it overheat.

it cant be that hard to find a cheap switch that I can wire in between a battery that is able to be controlled with some sort of remote signal???? But I dont know even where to look or what frequency could control it?

250W??? Are you sure?
Sounds dangerous.


Class IV for CW operation starts at 500mW.

 

[MILLER4PRESIDENT2020]

Sorry I must have meant 250 mW. There must be some sort of device that I can take the laser out of its housing and solder the remote controlled on off switch between one of the battery wires and the laser. Something like a garage door opener or a remote car start switch that transmits a simple on/off signal, however it would need to be able to do it over a greater distance.

If you're talking output power (vs. electrical consumption) it's still very very dangerous.
