Navigator #10

The Navigator has been installed in the Nautilus, the case is a bit small but fit perfectly if inside the cage!

Now I just need to create the arm for the driver’s screen and fix the GPS antenna.

As the hardware is ready, I can start to improve the software and start to move from the Python mock to a C++ version.

Navigator 9: Case ready to be installed!

After some buck converters burned out (and few nights), I have been able to setup all the components inside the case, and is now ready to be installed on board of the Nautilus.

Water Sensor

Redesigning the water sensor for the Nautilus. The new sensor will include a bluetooth module, to be able to check the water level while filling the tank.

Navigator 8: case improvements

A first version of the case has been printed and “tested”. Printing single panels and using glue to assembly has been successful, the glue does a good job.

Anyway I decided to improve the design adding better supports for the internal components and several amendments to improve ventilation and easy access to the Raspberry Pi SD Card.

 

P320 Wifi + BT

As I was using a dongle for both services, I bought an internal module and installed. Both services are working fine on Linux but the bluetooth does not run on Win 11.
