Hello!

I'm new here, so I've missed these past events. I would love to hear about any upcoming hackathons :) 

Hi,

Does your system work with normal VHF tags or do you make a custom tag for use in your system?

Does the drone have to be piloted manually in a particular path or pattern in order to acquire the tags?

Or can your receiver be placed on say a fixed-wing high speed drone programmed to fly a lawn mower pattern to cover the maximum amount of area?

I'm also curious how you are doing the direction finding, since there are no visible antennas, but I understand if you'd rather not talk about this (c:

Interesting work, thanks.

Hi Kas

LiveCode is open source (www.livecode.org) and can build for multiple platforms - Windows, MacOS, Linux + mobiles. Might be worth having a look at - it has an english-like scripting language and drag + drop GUI builder. You can develop on multiple platforms too so not limited to Windows.

You're probably already finished, but maybe someone else will find it useful.

Just learned about this community and am super excited to see it exists. I wanted to comment on Conservation Canines (CK9). I served as the coordinator for CK9 for 18 years. The majority of CK9, including myself and its 17 dogs, have broken off and are trying to get a new program set up called Rogue Detection Teams! We are just getting our paws under us but we are all super excited to be unleashed from the University and embarking on a grand new adventure. Rogue Detection Teams can be reached at [email protected] and also found on Facebook @roguedogs and IG and Twitter at @roguedetection. We have a website in the works at Roguedogs.org but it is not up just yet. Looking forward to being a part of the community. Dogspeed!

Hi Yvan, My name is Jennifer Hartman and I work with Rogue Detection Teams, a program that works with and instructs conservation detection dog teams. Did you ever receive enough information to pursue your project? If not, one, we'd love to learn of more opportunities ourselves, as we have many conservation projects that we would like to support and are unable to. Additionally, we have recently learned about a group, Midwest Conservation Dogs who just received a grant to train a new dog. I think it was a local grant but we're sure that they would be more than hh=appy to discuss with you how they received their grant. Most of our projects that we conduct, and we have worked on storm petrel burrows in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, come from government funding or special program fudning (some past partners include The Nature Conservancy, World WIldlife Fund, various univeristies, etc.). We're happy to discuss how we might help to get your project off the ground, or if you have already conducted it, we'd love to learn how it went and how you were able to fund it. We can be reached at [email protected] or our website is at roguedogs.org. Warm regards in the New Year, Jennifer
