Over the Xmas break I designed and built the cut down module. To be clear the module is the housing for the NICR wire that actually cuts the balloon tether. I went through 4 designs to get to the final version. The final version uses a cardboard fiberglassed frame w/ a molded insulation around the frame. I used an 10 foot stereo speaker cable as the link between the module and the controller. I'll get a picture of the module soon. I performed several weighted test and it worked flawlessly. Next is moving the controller from a breadboard to a protoboard. I'm waiting for the protoboard to arrive.
