The Collector

Description

The collector is designed to gather different types of data in the environment. It is built with four Raspberry Pi computers and each one is designated a different task. All will be included in a robot chassis. You could substitute any Pi for each role. The data collected includes GPS tracking, Weather conditions and Motion Detection.

Carrier is designed to contain Tracker, Forecaster and Replicator is a large chassis. The hardware is the PiFace and Raspberry Pi 1 to control mortars and of course the Chassis itself.
I am also going to run this on a solar battery pack from Amazon.

Forecaster is designed to track current weather conditions at the current location for the Collector. The hardware is a Sensor Tag and a Raspberry Pi 3. Software includes Telegraph (Times -Series Data Collector) and Grafana. I’m also going to include Darksky forecast for the small area that I will be testing.
Tracker

Tracker is designed to trace the route of the Collector with a GPS Tracking device that can stream its coordinates to a near real-time map view. The hardware is a Raspberry Pi 1 with Microstacknode GPS addon board. The coordinates are streamed to Initial State and displayed in real time on a map.
