Environmental Testing Smart-Buoy
Sponsor: Jacobs Engineering Group
Student Team: Jacob Smith, Amber Ferguson, Rodolfo Montero, Rod Michael
Faculty Advisor: Mr. Lee Hinkle
The Drifter is a data logging smart buoy that measures quality metrics of bodies of water for a minimum of one year. It is a low maintenance, low-cost system that uses solar and battery power to sustain operations. Data such as temperature, pH, and etc. is measured every thirty minutes before being transmitted via LoRa radio signals. This data can also be accessed each maintenance cycle via Bluetooth transmissions or Micro SD retrieval.
