OilSpillRadar

Radar System for Oil Spill Analysis

A PHP, Javascript, and MySQL web application to present data from, and interact with a series of python and bash scripts to detect the presence of oil on the surface of ocean water.

Project Hardware:

• Transmit antenna
• 1 recieve antenna
• 2 coaxial cables
• 1 weatherproof circut case with.
  • 1 router
  • 1 Raspberry Pi
  • 1 AC/DC variable power adapter.
  • 1 fully assembled circuit
• 2 linear actuators
• 2 jrk motor drivers
• 1 wave tank
• 1 wave tank support frame
• 2 magnetitic digital levels
• 12-V motor

Basic Use:

• To start running tests, select 'Acquire Data' on the GUI
• Fill in required fields and submit.
• Select 'Import Data' to import the values from the test to the database.
• Linear actuator that controls the angle of the antenna can be controled on from the Actuator Page.
  • the actuator page, on submit, calls ac++ executable that changes the angle of the actuator with respect to the ground.
  • a linear plot was created to match input to the actuator with desired angles from the user.
