Hi,
Tar is out of the water. did not get much sailing in this year...
Pypilot and OP worked nice, once I sorted out a few bugs..
Winter Projects
My esp32 wireless wind vane/ anchor light worked very well. Once i make a few minor changes to the board i will publish it.
I want to add the option of seeing the the wind data and controlling the anchor light via web when not connected to the rpi. Also adding a option to control reporting rate currently 10hz
The code for reporting and configuring a EPsolar charge controller is a work in progress. but it reports in SignalK and lets me change settings. I have an issue with the load switch...
My rpi3 currently has a proto hat with a imu and temp/humidity sensor mounted on it. 1wire, power, reset ,anchor light switch... are run off screw terminals on the proto hat. It is powered with a buck converter. I had heat problems a few times removing the cover corrected this.
I bought a rpi4 for this years upgrade and a bigger buck converter. I have printed a few ideas for a case as the RPI4 will have to be cooled? I assume a imu would not work on a hat if i have a fan mounted under it?
I am working on mounting a pot on my pintel to give me a rudder angle sensor.
I did a road trip to Gibsons landing BC. this summer an raced for the first time. I crewed on on a Tanzer 26 same as my boat. It had won every race that year. The captain had made a plotter to cut his own sails and a voice a controlled auto pilot. We won again despite my best efforts..
