Commercial ground penetrating radar systems cost tens of thousands of dollars. This project aims to create an open hardware alternative for about $500. This project has three components: the Open Ground Penetrating Radar (oGPR) system, the rover and software to process the data and plot in on OpenStreetMap. This Hackaday project focuses on the first two. The oGPR is designed to locate underground "voids," such as abandoned mines, were hazards may exist. Before these hazards can be mitigated, they must be located. Project Home Page: https://voidmapper.com/ [https://voidmapper.com/] Rover Wiki: http://voidrover.com/ [http://voidrover.com/]
