zsharpminor zsharpminor requested changes for audio based direction finder ago

Hello, please read https://blueprint.hackclub.com/about/submission-guidelines. You need a repository link for this project, your project is incomplete, and we cannot under any circumstances fund a 3D printer; and the soldering iron cannot be funded by Blueprint as well. Thanks!

installed parts, routed wires, and filmed functionality

Testing was done and a video of the prototype working was created, this is a link to the google doc to show the timeline of work, and a link to the video below, this was made for conrad business challenge, so most claims about business are projections, and I don't intend to make this for profit.
here is an image of the finished device

It uses differences in the time that a sound reaches the mics to determine direction.

Planned out parts, found parts, bought parts

Over the course of about a month, i went through three different concepts and parts and found the project i wanted to work on, and the method of doing the audio-based mapping of bee activity and began working on it with a group. After around 100 hours we have this business document
