Once you ship this you can't edit the description of the project, but you'll be able to add more devlogs and re-ship it as you add new features!
The sensors are fired 🥲.
So as to increase its accuracy it had to be prepped by plugging it for a long time.
But it got fried in the process.
Today’s Progress – Survival Mate Prototype
I’ve completed the critical initial step of gathering all the electronic components for the Survival Mate prototype — a pivotal milestone that lays the foundation for seamless hardware integration and efficient coding workflows.
Components Collected:
Microcontroller: Arduino Uno (with protective casing) — the central processing unit, offering robust performance and ample I/O for sensors and controls.
Breadboard & Jumper Wires: For prototyping and circuit testing without soldering, enabling quick iterations and debugging.
Sensors:
MQ Gas Sensors (CO, Methane, etc.) — real-time air quality monitoring.
Ultrasonic Sensor — obstacle detection and distance measurement.
DHT11 Temperature & Humidity Sensor — local weather tracking.
GPS Module — precise geolocation for navigation and tracking.
Gas Sensor Module — detects specific gas types.
LCD Display (16x2) — real-time status updates and alerts.
Push Button Array — user input and control.
Next Steps:
Verify sensor calibrations and test individual modules.
Design initial circuit diagrams for sensor-Arduino integration.
Develop modular code libraries for sensor data acquisition.
Plan LCD display flow for intuitive user feedback.
