New tutorial alert! Follow along with UIUC engineering student Jameson Koonce as he creates a treasure hunting game with the Artemis Global Tracker.
Favorited Favorite 0We've collaborated recently with computer engineering student Jameson Koonce to create a project with the Artemis GLobal Tracker to show you outside-the-box ways of using it.
This project uses the Artemis Global Tracker to create a “Treasure Game” in which the AGT will randomly select a position in a 20 meter radius (designated the “treasure spot”), and the onboard LED will blink faster as the player moves toward the “treasure spot” - winning when they find it exactly. In this way, the onboard LED will lead the player to the “treasure spot”.
This game will also transfer location information to a computer using the Iridium Satellite Network, meaning it could be played even where no WiFi or wireless data is accessible.
