The I2CModules of the Horter company (LxW 65x45mm) can be used for boat automation because they can be connected to any microcontroller and the Rasperry Pi. The I2C bus is actually intended for communication between ICs on a circuit board. But there are also numerous Extensions with which the bus signals can be amplified and electrically isolated so that longer distances of up to 50m can be bridged with shielded cables.… Continue reading

The LoRa boat monitor is used to monitor the boat when you are away. Various measured values are transmitted continuously at freely adjustable time intervals via LoRa radio technology (long range) to the LoRaWAN forwarded and recorded. The data is sent from the TTN server V3 (The Thinks Network) received and cached in Ireland for Europe and then to Ubidots forwarded as web frontend.… Continue reading
