Device

A floating device for heavy metal sensing in water.

The device can use waypoint navigation using GPS and is equipped with a Adafruit DC motor shield to control two propellers.

Materials: 1 m foam (OD = 6 cm) 2 x plastic bottles 1 x Tupperware 1 x Adafruit DC motor shield (http://www.adafruit.com/products/1438) 1 x Arduino UNO (http://store.arduino.cc/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_12&products_id=195) 1 x Battery holder (http://www.adafruit.com/products/830) 4 x Batteries AA Duck tape Instant glue

For the sensing, we intend to later add the cheapstat sensor circuit.
