Become a Circuit Design Engineer and help create a Connected World!

By connecting engineers, makers, educators and inventors to powerful ideas and the latest technologies, the element14 Community helps you to create solutions to everyday problems. We help you to make the extraordinary from the ordinary.

Now it is your turn! We’re creating a virtual circuit of geocaches.

We need your help to make connections between geocaches using the circuit board trackables, with them you will create virtual paths that bridge between geocaches and join together Scientific and Engineering landmarks of interest as shown on our “Atlas of Scientific Achievements”. These paths showing the journey of the trackables will become a virtual circuit connecting the world!

Now that you’re on your path to becoming an engineer create a free account and sign up for the Raspberry Pi 2 Kit Giveaway or follow blogs and articles on the element14 Community to help guide you into building your own GPS and geo-location aware project!

Hi Grumpydwarf
Here is my RPI story... which may interest you .... from an retired engineer.
I have a RPI and have connected two temperature sensors to it. It now lives in our airing cupboard. It measures the hot water tank temperature and inlet pipe temperature from the heating. I cobbled together some Python scripts which I run from two terminal windows, as I can't work out how to do it in one process / can't be bothered, as it works OK as is. I set it up as a web server (internal network only) and access it remotely over the wireless network to set it up (i.e no keyboard or monitor required). Its been running in the airing cupboard for a number of years now and I regularly check what's happening with the water temperature on the web served pages. It allowed me to adjust the water and heating temperatures to optimise heating efficiency. Never did get around to letting it control the valves. One day I will work out something else to do with it ..... How many people do you know who have a computer / web server in their airing cupboard ? :)

Happy caching from Kent.
