Final project

For the final project I would like to build a smart hiking staff for the Way of Saint James (Camino de Santiago).

The smart clam shell would relay informations back to me without having to get my phone an open apps.

It could be used to:

  • Give information about the temperature, atmospheric pressure, etc;
  • Give information about the altitude;
  • Give information about the distance traveled;
  • Give information about the time;
  • Give information about the speed;

It would also record the route I walk so that I can map it later.

It would be modeled in the shape of a Scallop Shell, that's the "brand" of the Camino de Santiago.
