Finalized Materials List

Here is the finalized materials list that Nathan and I worked on and compiled.

Kyle Casey
Patrick Frith
Derek Landini
Nathan Rauser

Materials List:

//All items linked are the desired model/brand.

1X Android Phone with Geotrooper program:
~$150-$500
Will take anyone provided by A&M, the ones that were handed out in class looked fine.


1X Geotrooper program
I don't think this has a cost, from what I understand this kind of program we can get from graduate students at A&M

Vibration pads
From what I understand these are provided by the school as well, if you need me to look up what we can use for these please do and we will get back to you asap.

Conductive Fabric/Thread:
Again from what I understand this is already provided. Dr. Hammond said she had access to both. If you need us to look some up we can easily find it.


Possible database to store Android/Teensy Code
These are already set up, from what I understand we will have access to these

Simple black thread (for sewing, this might be covered in the request for vibration pads)
We just need some thread for sewing, simple thread from Wal-Mart would do.

4X Form fitting shirt – Under Armor
~$20 each

1X Digital Compass
Used to help calibrate system and for system functionality
~$150
//I know this is kind of expensive, if you know of a cheaper model that has the same functionality that's fine. We tried to find the cheapest one we could.


1X Breakout Board
Used to program the Lily Pad
~$15

1X Lily Pad
Used to support Bluetooth
~$20
1X Coin Cell Battery for Lily Pad
Used to power Lily Pad
~$1
1X Bluetooth Dongle
Similar to a BlueSMiRF
~$65
If we are cleared to go with the Bluetooth Dongle we would need a:
1X Female Head Connector
~$1
