Here is another fun project I just finished up. My client wanted to be able to know if a vehicle (a train actually) is coming from a mile away. We used a Banner radar sensor in retroreflective mode, a Banner DMX100 controller/radio, and a DX80 multihop radio. The system can be expanded with additional repeaters if more range is needed. I used power tool batteries because they are easy to replace, relatively inexpensive, and high quality. Here is a short video showing a test I did in my neighborhood of the setup (without proper mounting hardware)
