Mechanical documents of the sailboat - Electronic Board and 3D Parts
This repository lists all the mechanical documents of the sailboat - Electronic Board and 3D Parts. It is used in conjunction with the Arduino Repository and the Raspberry Pi Repository. This project was done by Ulysse Vautier for his PhD in Autonomous Sailboat Navigation System at the University of Plymouth.
A complete tutorial is available on the wiki.
The goal of such a project is to make an affordable, accessible and expandable control box to transform a RC sailboat into an autonomous Sailboat easily. The control box costs £86 to make. Once connected to the different sensors and…
