Hello,
I have been implementing a bright LED matrix (+Raspberry Pi Zero W) functioning as a repeater.
It is mounted below deck at the mast support and readable at the steer at about 8m. distance.
A short video and some explanation here: http://forum.openmarine.net/showthread.php?tid=1107
My Hardware specs:
•Intel NUC running OpenCPN + ASUS 15.6" USB-powered display
•Raspberry Pi 3B with OpenPlotter v1.1
•Raspberry Pi Zero W + bright LED matrix (Raspbian/Node-red/MQTT)
•Mini router converted to remote control for Raspberry Pi Zero W (OpenWRT/MQTT)
•ESP8266 unit + DS18B20 temperature sensor(s) (ESP Easy sends to Raspberry Pi Zero W)
•Simrad Broadband Radar BR24 (over UTP to Intel NUC)
