This Auto Pilot project is an Arduino based effort to create a DIY auto Pilot for a wheel based sail boat.
This project has three main parts:
- Navigation Computer
- Controller
- Display
An OrangePi Zero 2W running Ubuntu 22.04 and OpenCPN
An Arduino Nano ESP32 connected to an ultimate GPS , an Accelerometer with Gyro and a motor controller.
One or more Arduino Nana 33 IoT which both displays the current auto pilot information and has buttons for changing from navigation to compass mode and/or disabling the auto pilot, as well as turning 1 degree, 10 degrees or 90 degrees to port or starboard if in compass mode.
