WHY?
We live on a planet that moves rapidly towards the irreversible destruction of the living conditions necessary for human survival. The IMVEC develops free self-defense and research tools to the phenomena of environmental pollution.
POLAMAP
Polluting Areas Map is one of the tools we are developing to encourage remote research of polluting areas.
It is currently under development. Once a month we meet via chat room located in the matrix for shaping the map collectively. The room is accessible via IRC on freenode#polamap or matrix: https://riot.im/app/#/room/#polamap:matrix.org (it is not necessary to register)
MONITORING CAMERA FOR THE ANOIA RIVER
During the Hack The Earth days we propose the installation of a monitoring timelapse camera at the Anoia river. Construction of a camera Open Source with raspberry pi, which capture images of the Anoia River at intervals of an hour allowing a historical record of the contamination events of the river.
Preparing the documentation.
Back here in a few days ;)
TESTING TERODA
One of the reasons why we got to Calafou two days before the start of the event was to perform tests with the prototype of the aerial device Teroda, a quadcopter aimed at the detection and mapping of lethal gases through a sensor for measuring the air quality and an open source camera. The evidence led us to conclude that the design we have at the present time must be modified for the following reason:
To make the Teroda a small and compact device we use a plate (on board computer) with built-in magnetometer, which would avoid us having to put to the Teroda a stick with the magnetometer in its top. It is not possible at the moment. The location of the magnetometer just above the motor control board makes electromagnetic interference generated too high. The drone tries to keep the position indicated by the GPS but the magnetometer is unable to mark the North. As a result the drone begins tracing circumferences around the point ever more pronounced.
Next step: isolate the computer on Board of the motor control board and should not work we will be forced to change the on board computer.
This week we will publish the specs.
All tests were performed in the recently renamed Daisy Flowers Drone Testing Area. We've geopositioned the area in Open Street Maps for future visits of Calafou interested in drone testing: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/41.50965/1.70451
