This is a Collection of Tech Tuesday Tips On Various Technical Topics related to our Projects past present and future related. We will deep dive into topics related to the work we are trying to accomplish with our projects. Additionally, these could be Mechanical, Electrical, Networking, Computer and Programming Related. Its a never ending Journey of learning!
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…
So we are going to discuss some technology that is on “The Nauti Oar“. As in part one of our how to on the installation of a rear camera, and using the Axiom 9 RV. We discovered a few technologies that have been integrated into this boat. One of these technologies is SeaTalkhs Plug and Play. Firstly, this is basically Ethernet/Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet. Additionally, We also found that…
So on the fourth of July, we went to take Pippi & Rocket to the shore. This was our first attempt to start the Nissan NS5B Outboard we got with “The Nauti Oar”, the Zodiac Tender, or “Eustace”. It would not go into neutral to start. We bypassed the lockout mechanism, not too smart but we wanted to see if she would start. The Outboard would start but then would…
So this post is all about Vortec Head Tech 101. I’ve learned a lot about this engine, especially around these Heads. So as I was installing the heads I ran into a bit of a conundrum while putting the rocker arms on the studs. Vortec Head Tech 101 First, Carefully look at the top picture. This picture was taken before the starboard head was removed. Secondly, you will see that…
