Mobile buoy for real time monitoring and assessment of water quality

This innovative project aims to monitor water quality in the area of continental, the coast and the lake using mobile buoy remotely controlled by a computer which sends a series of commands to Intel Atom N2600 Board and microcontrollers over Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM). The user enters the desired coordinate to Graphical User Interface (GUI) monitoring software from a remote computer. The buoy moves to the desired coordinate that relies on Global Positioning System (GPS) current reading. Sets of data of PH, Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) and temperature sensors reading is taken from sensors attached at the buoy. The data and the coordinate of the buoy location is uploaded and mapped via Google Map. The Google Map is integrated into the GUI to display the buoy position. The user can freely monitor real-time water quality information and the buoy will go to any location coordinated by the user's command.
