A small, low-cost, low-power wildlife tracking system. SnapperGPS is being developed at @UniOfOxford by @JonasBchrt, @AmandaMatthes and @alex_rogers_cs.snappergps.infoJoined August 2021
I am excited to see this article, which I wrote with @AmandaMatthes & @GOSHCommunity member Pen-Yuan Hsing, published! We discuss the importance of open source hardware for ecology & conservation, including examples such as @SnapperGPS, @OpenFlexure, OpenCTD & more 🌿
We are going to show @SnapperGPS at the Open Hardware Summit @ohsummit in NYC in April 👋

Check out this magical video of a turtle carrying a @SnapperGPS tag out on the reef. Looking forward to that data!
Thanks to Joana Hancock and her colleagues at @ORP_INDIANOCEAN for making this possible.

SnapperGPS tags are lightweight, low-cost, and low-power, making them perfect for wildlife tracking. A single tag can log data for over 10,000 locations in one deployment and last for over a year on a small 40 mAh battery: bit.ly/3rjQye4

We are partnering with @arribada_i to give away 100 SnapperGPS 1.0 boards! The boards will be free. You just need to cover shipping and any import duties and taxes that may arise. If you would like to be considered, fill out this form: forms.gle/axNVDnTCZWPyHu…
We ship worldwide.
Uploaded a preprint on our open-source wildlife tracking hardware @SnapperGPS to arXiv yesterday📜
We describe some design choices that aim at
🔋very low energy consumption,
⚖️low weight,
💲low costs, and
👱good usability.

And that's a wrap for our @SnapperGPS deployments on incubating Manx Shearwaters. Here's a sneak-peek of the data. Now onto monitoring the chick-rearing period. Thanks to everyone in the Oxford Navigation Group who made this possible!
Amazingly detailed @SnapperGPS track. This bird spent a few days catching fish off the Isle of Man before flying home. Really exciting to see data coming in from trial deployments. @AmandaMatthes@JonasBchrt
