We have designed a second controller to pilot the buoys, to replace, if desired, the existing joystick. We designed this new controller to overcome 3 limitations of the existing joystick: Improve the controller's battery life by increasing it from 2*300 mAh to 1500 mAh Improve screen readability with a much larger screen Immediate access to a buoy, without cycling between the 8 possible buoys 🔗 M5Stack hardware purchase links — Thank you for using them! We've partnered with

An onboard GPS module, open source, to analyze and optimize the trajectory and settings of your RC boat 1 - Why use a GPS on our radio-controlled sailboats? We are curious to know whether using a GPS on our radio-controlled boats during training can help us in our pursuit of performance. We can imagine that by measuring the boat's speed and heading, and comparing them to the wind speed and direction, we will be able to improve our sail trimming and better understand the boat'

This very good training session took place in particularly changeable weather conditions, bringing together no less than 19 df95 sailboats on the water, under a beautiful sun. Changing gusts, a wind axis that shifted without warning, in short — exactly the type of conditions that tests both the sailors and the course marking system. The 6 autonomous GPS buoys were deployed for the occasion, and the wind unintentionally provided a real full-scale test bench for the automatic c

The GPS on board a boat allows you to track your position, speed and heading in real time during navigation. To take full advantage of this, it is important to use a speed display , in order to view live data and then replay your sessions to analyze your performance. The speed display is very simple in terms of its electronic components. It consists of a single component, an M5Stack Core 2, which already contains a 500 mAh battery. You simply need to add a micro SD card to re

Onboard GPS allows you to track the position, speed and heading of your RC boats in real time while navigating. To take full advantage of this, it is important to use a speed display , in order to view live data and then replay your sessions to analyze your performance. The boat's GPS is relatively simple in terms of its electronic components. It consists of: A GPS module capable of receiving signals from at least 8 satellites A mini ESP32 computer capable of analyzing the si
