DreamBoard Vs | Last 16 | ebarranco's: High Altitude Balloon Data

DreamBoard Vs - Battle of the DreamBoards: It’s DreamBoard Vs DreamBoard.

 

"High altitude balloon data collector" Created by Edgar Barranco

What inspired your DreamBoard Design?

I was approached by our local high school science department to assist with the electronics used on a High Altitude Balloon to be launched on February 11, 2015. We had a very short time prepare, about 30 days to get everything working and ready to go. The system needed to record data, broadcast the location and telemetry among other things.

 

They contacted me after they have already purchased a great deal of incompatible components. They learned about me through a member of my ham radio club that works at the school. I managed to log the data collected from different sensors using a Raspberry PI and a breakout board. I collected pressure, temperature, location, humidity and altitude. The location was broadcasted via APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System).

 

After the launch I thought, it would be really useful for other schools and future launches to have an all-in-one ready to go board to collect and broadcast the telemetry data. I could not find anything and decided to create this DreamBoard.

 

Here is a link to the HAB launch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-NgcK0doXA

 

What is your job role/background?

I am a Sr. Systems Engineer. I design complete systems for different industries, from the  Department of Defense to Telecommunication companies. My hobbies include: Ham Radio (KC2UEZ), antenna designs, electronic gadgets, programming and gaming. I have two bachelor's degrees, Computer Engineering and Computer Science. I was born in Panama city, Panama, but I now live in Upstate New York.

 

Why should your DreamBoard be the winner?

This board should be the winner because it would help facilitate science projects in schools that promote learning through technology. It would allow teachers to simplify the process of launching a High Altitude Balloon making the activity more engaging and interactive as the board broadcast live telemetry data as it floats through the atmosphere.
