We have reached agreements with



We are glad to announce 3 hats. We have named them as 3 of the most famous solo sailors of the modern age.





OpenPlotter Moitessier Hat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Moitessier)



This hat contains the basic items to turn your raspberry into a complete navigation system.





Features

High-sensitivity (better than -112 dBm) dual channel AIS receiver with SMA antenna connector.

High-performance GNSS receiver with integrated patch antenna and external antenna support via BNC connector.

Compass, heel and trim from gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer sensors (IMU).

Barometric pressure.

Standalone usage or in combination with Raspberry Pi (). Sensors are directly accessible via Raspberry Pi. Standalone usage requires 3.3V power supply and sensors are controlled by the HAT’s microcontroller.

Fully compatible with Raspberry Pi models supporting 40-pin IO header.

Data communication via SPI (AIS, GNSS and meta data) and via I2C (sensor data).Data accessible via device driver and device file.

Supports ID EEPROM and automatic device tree loading.

3 status LEDs (AIS status, GNSS status, error).

Full OpenPlotter compatible. Plug and play.

Please think also about a case for the rpi including these hats.



ref the McArthur hat consider something similar to the StromPi2 with the option to hook up Capacitors or LiPo cells for the UPS functionality. Bridging a few hours should be enough and then a warm standby (reduce to minimal functions and switch off the rest). Maybe you could also manage to embed a USBdrive to reduce the dependency on the SD card. By that lots of the shutdown issues are already minimized. Great news!!!

And what chip do you use to receive AIS?



This could be so handy for delivery skippers When do you think they might be available?And what chip do you use to receive AIS?This could be so handy for delivery skippers Find Reply Sailoog

We can not define a price yet because there is some details to decide. As cheap as possible



Yes, there will be complete config instructions and support on this forum. We can not define a price yet because there is some details to decide. As cheap as possibleYes, there will be complete config instructions and support on this forum. Find Reply Sailoog

These names are from famous modern solo sailors. Added a link to wikipedia



Enclosures will be the last step.



We are discussing the UPS hat right now. Capacitors option is wining but LiPo is not discharged yet. These names are from famous modern solo sailors.

Added more info and expected dates



The used chip is a narrow band receiver from ON Semiconductor (AX series) and definitely better than RTL-SDR chips. Added more info and expected datesThe used chip is a narrow band receiver from ON Semiconductor (AX series) and definitely better than RTL-SDR chips. Find Reply jim321
