In this project there will be a design for the housing and electronics package for a system of drifters that can receive GPS position, measure temperature, and record and radio this information to nearby drifters. Any of these drifters within range of the base station will then be able to send all the information from all other drifters, thus providing a self-contained drifter network. The base station can simply be one of the drifters fixed on a tower or other high location to be able to have line-of-sight access. RS-232 links the drifter to a PC to communicate the information received by the drifter, and plot the location of all drifters in real time. |
