Rock Climbing Camera Tracking System (Concept)

Rock Climbing Camera Tracking System

General Information:

    I like to rock climb and sometimes I want to film myself and share my climbs with my friends, but it is awkward to bother someone so I wanted to create a tracking system. In order to design this I need to define what I want to do for this project: -list requirements-

Objective:

    The objective of this project is to design and assemble a tracking system for rock climbing a 51-ft wall

Complexity of the Project:

    The place where I rock climb is my on-campus rock wall, and it is 51 feet tall. Ideally when I climb the wall I want to send a signal down to a ground device that will rotate my phone's orientation. 

Hardware I am currently considering are:
  • BMP180 - Barometer Pressure Sensor
BMP180 Soldered pins
    • This device can sense altitude
  •  Arduino Nano - Microcontroller
    • Will communicate and execute programs connected
    • Nano would be ideal for climbing since it is smaller than an Arduino Uno
  • HC-05 - Bluetooth Module
    • Allows wireless communication between the climber and ground device
Mechanisms I am currently considering using:
    Worm gear and wheel mechanism 




Contributions:

    Researching phase:

I wanted a compact device. Ideally

What I learned from this project:

    I learned the design process

Refurbished Lithium-ion Battery Pack General Information:      In the summer of 2021, I did an unpaid internship at my friend's family business, L&H Tag and Label in San Gabriel. My friend's dad, Mark, was the business owner and I worked on side projects that he had no time to do since he was on the manufacturing side.
