Hello, everyone,
As some of you know, I've already put an O. R. in a boat. But since the boat is not mine (SAR-boat) I can't always go where I want to go.
I rent different boats every year and spend my holidays on them. But since I don't want to do without the familiar system, an alternative had to be found.
I would like to introduce you to my mobile plotters today.
I was looking for a box that fits everything and is waterproof. (In case I have an open boat)
This is the box from the inside. The blue is a thin layer of foam to prevent rattle. Underneath is a thin aluminium plate to create a flat surface.
Anker Powerbank. The power bank is sufficient for more than 24 hours of operation. I think if I turn off the screen even longer.
cabel for I2C: to test sensors
GPS-Dongle: U-blox7 without housing
IMU: InvenSense MPU-9150 with BMP180
The system is actually operated with a pad or similar. But if there should be problems with the connection, I have a fallback level.
The connection is sma. So I can connect different antennas depending on the environment and conditions.
Greetings from Dortmund/Germany
Jürgen
