GPS pothole tracker
For portable power, the GPS Pothole Tracker uses a USB power bank. Out in the field, when the user is near a pothole, they press the button. If the GPS is locked, the tracker records the button press in the FRAM. “The Pico W takes in the input from the GPS, gaming button, and then stores the GPS locations, and gives output to the user in the form of the light of the button, and the buzzer,” explains ScienceDude1990. When the user gets home, they can then open a text file and send any pertinent pothole information onto whoever needs to have it.
