The belated June 2025 recipient for the Great Scott Gadgets Free Stuff Program is Joe Caton from the United States! Joe has requested a HackRF One for his senior project. He has the opportunity to work with a local wildlife preserve and assist them in an ongoing project to track and study the behavior of the large population of eastern box turtles nearby. Joe will be aiding the nature center in developing quality, low cost alternatives to their current tracking technology. He plans to refine their current VFH tracking modules and implement HackRF One into a more compact system that will enable image recognition capability in the field to identify specific turtles. He hopes that this could lead to similar systems being replicated for other wildlife preserves and contribute to an open source repository so foundations with less funding can have access to accurate and successful DIY monitoring systems. We are looking forward to hearing about the progress and outcome of Joe’s project and excited to assist in this unique application of our hardware!
