From the project
A Relay PCB with a socket for a Raspberry Pi or Nvidia Jetson to control everything on a boat
Boatcontrol is an open hardware design for a marine grade SMART/IoT electrical distribution panel and electronics platform (boat) controller.
It's an I/O breakout board capable of switching 32 onboard laching relays and optionally 32 momentary/laching relays using addon boards switchnig up to 60A AC/DC 0-400V per circuit.
The "smart" part is provided by either a Raspberry Pi HAT or a Nvidia Jetson (Nano/Xavier NX) either of which can be mounted on the board.
