N II Deep Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Holland 6-3-17 N II Deep Did a late morning trip to play with our new homemade autopilot. Fished north between Tunnel Park to PS, 55 to 75 FOW Ended up 6 for 7, pulling lines by 11:30 Wire divers went 2 times 8" mix veggie Spin Doc with pickle sunshine fly out 120-ish 150 Copper went twice Green spoon with orange ladder, blue spoon with orange ladder Riggers down 40 went 3 times mix veggie std size. the prototype autopilot worked great I attached a video where you can see the touch screen behind the wheel that controls the hyd system that holds the course. we want to do a few more software updates to the program logic before we do the final install. 20170603_083411.mp4 4
N II Deep Posted June 6, 2017 Author Posted June 6, 2017 Production has been limited to one unit. but I may share a few pointer for you Shane.
EdB Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 It would be interesting to hear the story behind your build, never heard of anyone making their own auto pilot.
N II Deep Posted June 8, 2017 Author Posted June 8, 2017 Once we do a couple more test runs with it I will put a post out on what we did. what I can say right now we are less than $1000 into it minus our labor. the key was keeping it simple.
N II Deep Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 Yes, Raspberry Pi board, and a 7" touch screen
