Hi folks,
Been lurking here a while and thought i'd post on something I've been working away on for a while.
I sail a raven 26 out of the Mahurangi. I got her for a pretty sharp price and with it came a semi-defunct simrad tp10. I tried and failed to get the thing going but the electronics were toast.
I had been mucking around with arduino for a while and thought that it would make a great platform for a DIY tillerpilot using the linear actuator from the simrad (which was fine).
Someone had already done the thinking on this - all I had to do was adapt it for my circumstances.
