It’s been a while since I’ve posted , and winter is just around the corner. So, I got an opportunity to work on 2007 Sea Doo GTX that has been broken for quite some time. Additionally, it appears that the ECU has been replaced. This Sea Doo is an odd one, it has a very specific software or firmware. Furthermore, starting somewhere in 2006 Sea Doo, changed the display ,…
TBD Smartshunt – Battery Monitoring
In one of our installments, we decided to monitor battery voltages. Although I thought this was going to do it. Additionally, I decided I needed a little bit more data than just voltage. So I would like things like charge rate, discharge rate, and current draw. Furthermore, I was going to build this with an INA219 current sensor, a 500 AMP shunt, and an ESP8266. So I hopped on to…
WiFi Relay Switching – Part One
So in part six, of building the battery monitoring, I said I would add the four additional batteries to monitor. As a result, that led me down the rabbit hole of WiFi Relay switching for controlling devices. You might ask why I ended up here. The reality is I should be able to turn devices as well as lights on and off : So as I poked around with the…
RayMarine Rotary Rudder Transducer Update
So we are about nine months into 2023. It’s been almost a year since we initially started working on the autopilot. So we need to complete the RayMarine Rotary Rudder Transducer update. We need to get back to finishing the Autopilot install. We had mocked up a temporary mount, made out of starboard. Furthermore, It accomplished the purpose but was not ideal. Additionally, I have been literally waiting for my…
RayMarine Rotary Rudder Transducer
So we are about eight months into 2022. First, we need to get back to starting the Autopilot install and the first step is to get the RayMarine Rotary Rudder Transducer installed. Secondly we worked out getting our fuel tanks to show up on the RayMarine MFD by using a YDTA-04N. It was not worth the hassle of trying to figure this out on the Arduino. Additionally, we have been…
