Today I took the first step for a new project that kept returning to my mind for the last couple of days.
I bought a remote controlled boat on eBay. The boat is an Atlantic Yacht by Heng Long which is sold by the retailer as “defective” because it has been returned by a customer. No idea what’s wrong with it, I hope it’s just the control unit I’m going to replace anyway.
Currently I’m planning to equip it with an Arduino based ArduPilot that is modified for marine usage.
Good day
I am glad that I am not the only guy that is having the idea of a RC autopilot boat project.
As i am in the surveying industry and dont have a lot of experience in the elecronics ii am looking for someone who can help me with a autopilot for a boat that we are using for underwater surveying (Hydroghraphical Suyveying)
If you can help mail me to survey.moll@gmail.com
