This is the Amador Valley High School Hovergames Software team's repo for the NPX Hovergames Challenge 3: Sustainable Food Ecosystems with Drones and Rovers. This README is a quick summary of the project from a Software point of view. See our Hackster documentation for full project and submission details.
Our drone uses a Bosch BME688 gas sensor to assess the arability of a soil sample collected by the drone, and may drop fertilizer to improve the soil fertility. The sampling and dropping mechanisms are 3D printed. The drone hardware was provided by NPX Hovergames.
See Hackster documentation for in-depth process.
