Project Overview
Tired of your run-of-the-mill skateboard? Looking to upgrade it to the next level? We present to you BOARDTRACK: a slick skateboard equipped with a battery-powered Raspberry Pi, GPS chip, and accelerometer attached to its underside. Why? We're glad you asked... these small gadgets provide BOARDTRACK with the the capacity for user-friendly tracking of its location, acceleration, and average speed in real time. Once collected, this data is parsed and continuously displayed onto a monitor display. But wait, there's more -- each display is unique to every trip, enabling you to access how far you have traveled, your speed at any location, and the highest overall acceleration reached. In this project, our team aims to manufacture a unique transportation method of utmost quality, aesthetics, and convenience.
