Nautical Sensor Project

Welcome to the Nautical Sensor Project. You will be working with students from another University to develop a nautical black box to capture important data and relay this to a base station.

The first part of the project will take place on the Åland Islands where you will be required to build a sensor package and carry out tests using the dinghy(ies) provided.

The second part takes place in Coventry where you will be required to refine your design and build a suitable visualisation. Later in the week you will be taken to a boat club to allow for final calibration and data capture. You will then present your findings on the Friday.
