GCSHA2017 - The 'Official' SHA2017 unofficial GeoCache

Welcome to the SHA2017 geocache. A geocache with a techie twist. Instead of looking for physical objects, you will be looking for the SSIDs of bluetooth beacons hidden on the SHA2017 campground

Your mission

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, it to find 15 hidden bluetooth modules. Each of these bluetooth modules will give you a letter and it's relative position to the previous letter. Those 15 will form a sentense that will allow you to have some fun at the end coordinates of the geocache trail.

What do you need?

You will need some special equipment:

  • Access to SHA2017
  • A device to get your GPS coordinates and to find other GPS coordinates
  • A device to show the SSIDs of BlueTooth Low Energy (BLE) devices around you

Luckily most smartphones actually have both properties.

Android: [1] - Use the 'Any Destination feature' iPhone: [2] Your GPS unit: RTFM

BLE scanner

Android: 4.0 Scanner iPhone: Scanner 4.0 The badge: Write one in mycropython.. ;)

How does it work

Below is an example of five waypoints. This is *NOT* the answer.

The first coordinate is given: N 52 17.032 / E 5 31.521

When you go here you open your bluetooth
