Ship's Computer, how much tech does a sailing yacht need? (Sailing SV Catsaway) - Ep. 10
Posted on August 16, 2017
We updated the ship’s technology including;
Raspberry Pi running a Rails app as the Ship’s Computer
Outernet receiver for weather at sea
Find me Spot to report ships current location
vYacht to connect to the Ship’s instruments
And an EPIRB in case of emergency
We attempted to create our own Seatalk cable in order to save some money. It worked for a little while but was constantly causing instrument errors when the boat moved. Diana and I are trekkies aso it was fun working on a Star Trek themed Ship’s Computer. I’ll enjoy continuing to work on that while we’re sailing at warp 0.00000000000001.
