What’s the goal, why this design, and how it will be done …
↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓
This should have been the first video published about this project, but I needed to order some parts, and so I already uploaded a first design video (link below). Anyway, let’s do a proper project kick-off now and give you an overview.
First I explain what’s meant by full (!) fly-by wire. Then we discuss the choice of electric outboards. After a system overview I explain why RS-485 has been chosen as interface. Finally I give you the big picture and show where this project fits in.
00:00 Intro – already did the second video of this series
00:48 Full fly-by-wire – controlling throttle and steering
03:09 Outboard engines – Haswing Protruar 2.0 24V
09:21 System overview – all the function blocks
12:02 Why RS-485 – and not use an NMEA standard
15:26 Big picture – motors, batteries, controller, monitor
16:33 Wrap-up – next we further tear down the engines, bye
