The Challenge | Internet on the Ocean
Internet Bouys
Our solution provides more than open communication, it brings people together, encourages commerce and learning. Using data from NOAA and integrating existing technology we have designed an app that will enable wifi routing from coast to coast.
This project uses NOAA's data set on buoy information.
we have created a mvp of an app designed to keep a track of the costs and how much internet. And how to get more. In order to do this we needed data of how much internet we need to supply , where they the people we need to supply are and how much relays and routers their are and which is the closest to land. the app is surposed to show all this and keep a track so their will always be perfect internet in the sea.
The biggest challenge was keeping a same coordinate system for overlays on a map in Tkinter, as Tkinter operates on modifying the location of elements based on canvas coordinate system rather than the map's coordinate system. This caused difficulty in determining the centre of scale. Tkinter manages all done the content on a canvas through a Tkinter.bCanvas widget, rather than giving the control to each object itself. In each drawing, a reference must be passed to the drawing function.
