EDD-LCP_Control

Control PCB & Firmware for Low Cost Profiler.

This repository is home to the system controller PCB design and firmware for the low-cost profiler project.

State of this project

The LCP has been extensilivly tested and deployed in Puget Sound and the Bering Sea in Moored mode. The mechanical design is complete, the electronics hardware needs a goround-up re-design for lower power consumption, decreased cost, and robustness. The Firmware needs a ground up re-write for robustnuss and readability.
