DIY Tiller Pilot

  • Restart 08/2018
  • other Projects
  • Standby since 09/2019
  • currently no further activities, as problems of the sensor calibration have not been solved satisfactorily
  • current approach distribution:
    • AHRS 9-axis digital sensor (compass, gyro, acceleration sensor)
    • ESP32 controller unit (possibly a combination of fuzzy control / classic control algorithms)
    • Actuator industrial linear unit
  • Status: Tests on the position sensor AHRS (Altitude and Heading Reference Sensor)
  • Most projects are still in the concept development phase
  • There are currently three projects working on the topic:
