Inspiration

Devastation from the earthquakes in Puerto Rico

What it does

It evaluates and transmits information about a particular location to a remote location (ie, air quality, live image, temperature, barometric pressure, altitude)

How I built it

Used a raspberry pi and several sensors. Placed the contraption on motor vehicle.

Challenges I ran into

Incorrect pin soldering, malfunctioning soldering iron, structural integrity (specifically back axel)

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Successfully implemented several sensors through direct pin connection (without the use of a breadboard). Able to fix structural integrity issues with the limited spare materials at hand.

What I learned

Don't solder before you are absolutely sure that it is the correct pin configuration that you want. Also, make sure that the soldering iron isn't completely oxidized.

What's next for Jim buggy

Mass Production for relief and recovery agencies and organizations. Saving the day when disaster strikes.
