The MacGyver Session: Novel, Exciting, Self-Made, Hacked, and/or Improvised Sensors, Data Acquisition, and Data Transmission Solutions to Understand the Geosphere (Poster)
Session ID#: 247656
Session Description:
This 17th edition of the MacGyver session leads science into the future. All are welcome to present and bring hands-on demonstrations to make this the most exciting poster-only session of the AGU Fall Meeting, featuring: • New sensor systems, using technologies in novel or unintended ways.• New data storage or transmission solutions, returning data from the field via LoRa, WIFI, or GSM, etc.• Novel 3D printed designs and fabrication techniques that transform measurement capabilities.• Community initiatives facilitating the creation and sharing of novel sensors, data-acquisition, and data-transmission technologies.This session is for those among us who want to share how we:• Developed rugged PCBs from the ground up to take new field measurements.• Combined sensors with Arduino or Raspberry Pi.• 3D printed water-quality samplers• Built a Cloud Storage system from Open Source Components.We welcome any and all new methods, tools, or approaches.
