This simple Pypilot computer, ready to use, is equipped with a watertight enclosure and a high-performance compass using a modern 9-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor.
Combined with a Pypilot motor controller, this Pypilot computer creates a high-performance, ultra-low-power autopilot.
There are several models of Pypilot motor controller available to adapt pypilot to all existing drive systems. You can either build your own or purchase one, keeping in mind that while the 12-24V 30A model with clutch control can be used with all existing drive systems, the 12V 7A model without clutch output is only suitable for electric tiller steering systems.
The fully waterproof case provides excellent protection for the Pi Zero and its connections to the microSD card and HAT. It includes a PCB integrating the LCD display, the IMU, the UART interface to the motor controller, an NMEA0183 port with a galvanically isolated input, EMC surge protection. All cables pass through quality cable glands.
The Raspberry Pi Zero 2W is included with its microSD card with pypilot-tinycore.
This computer also comes with cable to power 5V DC and a waterproof 4-pin connector to the motor controller.
Enclosure: 85 x 58 x 33 mm (96mm between the two fixing holes).
Upon request, the standard Pi Zero 2W can be replaced free of charge with a Pi Zero W if minimal power consumption is required.
The watertight computer is supplied as standard without a USB or NMEA0183 cable because it can receive and transmit data via Wi-Fi using the TCP20220 port. Upon request, the computer can be equipped with one or two additional cable glands with the following optional cables:
- USB Cable (CU Option)
- NMEA0183 Cable (CN Option)
The motor controller is not included
This autopilot computer does not have a radio remote controls receiver.
