"Road Quality Survey" (RQS) project. All project documentation is maintained within the project Wiki

Overview

This project is a group activity to design, build, and enhance a python based project. After some discussion, the group selected a "Road Quality" measuring webapp. The hardware consists of a micro:bit microcontroller containing an embedded accelormeter, compass, bluetooth, tactile buttons, and LED array. The supporting code for the micro:bit is written in MicroPython, a modified version of regular python designed to run on embedded hardware.

The micro:bit is stocked at a number of retailers. We've found Adafruit and MicroCenter to be the cheapest so far @ $16.50.

Quick Notes:

  • This project is based around MicroPython v1.9. This implements python 3.4 compatible syntax.
