H2GO

Inspiration

Pittsburgh's water is not in a good place right now - the average person should be able to test their water easily and hassle free. H2GO removes all discrepencies and tells you whether your water is safe to drink or not

What it does

Test the pH, copper, and iron level of water and tells user whether it is safe to drink or not

How I built it

Using a camera attached to a raspberry pi, our project takes images of strips dipped in water entered by the user. A box made of chip board holds the strips for an easy workflow. The camera send the image to a python script where it's pixels are processed and the levels are verified. A signal is send back to the raspberry pi led display letting users know if the water is safe

Challenges I ran into

Getting the camera to work with the raspberry pi, communicating between the pi and python script

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Getting everything to semi work
