🌊 Why we chose M5Stack products for our autonomous GPS buoys
A modular platform perfectly suited to marine projects Autonomous GPS buoys require robust, compact hardware capable of reliable operation in demanding environments. M5Stack modules emerged as the ideal solution thanks to their modular architecture, which allows for the rapid assembly of a complete system without complex soldering or fragile electronics. Key strengths: Compact and robust format , ideal for integration into a waterproof buoy. Stackable modules , allowing the a

A joystick for piloting the Autonomous GPS Buoys
We have just finalized a joystick for piloting and moving the buoys. Until now, the buoys and the Course were piloted exclusively with a mobile phone and an integrated dashboard. This is very comprehensive and practical, with advanced features such as one-click course setup and repositioning, and buoy visualization on a map. However, this dashboard requires all buoys to be connected to the internet. Therefore, we developed a joystick that can operate in two ways: In addition

What electronic components are needed for a joystick?
Autonomous GPS buoys come in two levels: Standard buoy , controlled by a joystick (long-range LoRa protocol) for one to eight buoys, with local operation on the body of water Advanced Buoy , controlled by a mobile phone application, but also by a joystick to fine-tune positioning visually on the water. The joystick is similar for both standard and advanced buoys. The only difference is its communication protocol: LoRa in standard mode and ESP-Now in advanced mode. 🔗 M5Stack
