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 🌿

Testing 2023 ocean tech @SnapperGPS alongside 1863 steam boat tech (HMS Warrior) here in Portsmouth at @arribada_i's office. That's 160 years later! @WILDLABSNET

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.

Testing @SnapperGPS with different low-cost GPS antennas - still, the results are looking 🔥🔥🔥

.@SnapperGPS just got certified as
⚙️open source hardware⚙️
by the Open Source Hardware Association @oshwassociation
Check out why it takes more than uploading your schematics to GitHub to be considered open-source hardware on their website👉oshwa.org/sharing-best-pract…

We accidentally made the @SnapperGPS PCB match the #GOSH2022 colour scheme.

Beautiful new @SnapperGPS turtle housing from @AmandaMatthes. This one will be used to trial inductive surfacing detection.

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
Throwback to last year's loggerhead sea turtle tagging on Cape Verde with @FMB_CaboVerde. SnapperGPS is #Tech4Wildlife! 🐢
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/axNVDnTCZWPyHuWW8
We ship worldwide.
SnapperGPS is designed for wildlife tracking. It has already been successfully deployed on sea birds and sea turtles.
If you have questions about the giveaway, you can ask them in the "Giveaway 2022 Q&A" section of our GitHub discussion page: github.com/orgs/SnapperGPS/d…

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.
Here's a summary thread🧵

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!

The left picture that @alex_rogers_cs posted is actually a screenshot from our @SnapperGPS app. We draw a circle (radius = uncertainty) for each fix on a map powered by @LeafletJS, @openstreetmap, and @Mapbox.
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
