Hi all, well winter has come and the boat is out of the water and my tinkering begins...
I am doing a rebuild of my windsensor/anchor light. the issues i found were.
cheap anemometers are to heavy with the rough chop on Lake Winnipeg they experience a lot of vibration and the weight was an issue. Fine for the back yard.
i have a new Davis sitting on my bench...
the NRF24L01 was fine, but did drop the odd packet at 5hz. will try again as the low power requirement was nice. Or just put the nano in the boat and use usb to RPI as the Davis has a really long cord undecided at this point..
The Anchor light worked great.
The nano was great as it can take raw 12 V power from 12 V bat bank.
Sean what Arduino are you using for your Weather sensor. I get fuse warnings?
I also get twi.h not found error? Not really an issue as i don't have a display or bme280.
I ordered a some new ones as i am sure they have issues.
ADMUX = _BV(REFS0) | 6; as i can understand this sets ADMUX to 01000000 | 00000110=
01000110 or
AVCC on with pin A6 as source If I want to set the pin to A4 I would just change it to ADMUX = _BV(REFS0) | 4; or 01000100
I am having a issue understanding " AVcc with external capacitor"? where do i put this cap and what size?
After more testing my old auto pilot is to slow and dumb, I will probably change it as i really like Pypilot.
Sudjustions for a linear actuator would be welcome.
