  • Test data flow from sonde to database via cell phone. Readings log and then correctly labeled graphs of all the parameters.
  • Add the board's temperature to the data that is collected, uploaded, and graphed (see the eeapnode software for an example).
  • Add the battery's voltage to the data that is collected, uploaded, and graphed.
  • Test what happens WRT the board booting (with phone and sonde attached) when the battery is brought back from 0 charge to full charge.

• Identify/configure software for batch download and real-time download/mapping of eTrex datastream on Zoey.

• Springwood Install
  • Design/build float
