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

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

Step 1 consists of preparing the M5Stack Core2 module. There's practically nothing to do as it comes pre-assembled with its screen, battery, and microSD card reader. All that's left is to format the 32GB microSD card to FAT32 and insert it into the card reader . Wi-Fi connection and time setting In order for the module to synchronize to the exact time and allow retrieval of data recorded on the microSD card via Wi-Fi , without having to remove it, you must enter your Wi-Fi ne

Step 1 involves connecting the M5Stack AtomS3 with the voltmeter and the anemometer motor. Step 2 involves installing the software inside the M5Stack AtomS3 module. To easily install it on the M5Stack AtomS3 module, you can use the M5Stack Burner utility which allows you to download and install the software very easily. Step 1 — Download and open M5Burner Download M5Burner for your system (Windows/macOS/Linux). Unzip the archive and open the M5Burner application. Tip: On macO

Find all the photos from the Class M regatta on 16/11/2025 at the CNCR, in Choisy Le Roy. We used three autonomous GPS buoys, two for the starting line and one as a leeward gate. They performed well, except for one whose computer shut down in the early afternoon, after several stable hours. Analysis of the problem to follow.
