Autonomous Surface Vehicle with DAQ
The project developed an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) to survey water health by collecting real-time temperature, pH, and redox potential data, transmitting telemetry to a base station for storage and analysis. The ASV integrates GPS, telemetry radios, and a Metro M4 microcontroller, enabling autonomous waypoint navigation and environmental mapping.
