EP58 - Remote Control for Your Boat's Autopilot: DIY and Save Big!

[@sailingsubmariner]

Thank you for taking the time to make the video in English.

[@lowcostsailor]

Thanks to you for watching us and share the videos!!! It really takes a lot of effort to translate the videos, let's hope it goes well 😀

[@birgseva]

Seatalk ng as well as sim talk are the same as nmea2000 and it is easy to bridge between. Its not secret.

It's November allready😂 winter garments required! Greetings from Norway.

[@lowcostsailor]

🤣🤣🤣 you are right... The original video was recorded in May.. 🤣🤣

[@noldushumlesnurr6169]

@lowcostsailor 😃 Great project you pieced together here. It's mind-boggling to me how you (youtubers) manage to keep so many video productions going in parallel. Well done and thanks for making them and thereby documenting your low cost solutions

[@dbobriakov]

Would be interesting how to set a remote control for genset, any projects?!

[@lowcostsailor]

Right now, I don´t have a genset, but can be difficult if it has an electric start button.. We have a video in our Spanish youtube channel (with English subtitles) about remote managing any button on your switch panel.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZWlY42kYtuJrZI

[@dbobriakov]

Thanks, will check it out. Yes, genny has an electric button to start and stop. I hoped there could be a way to program it for running time, eg turn of in 4h or something.

Would this work on the Autohelm 4000 system? Very interested if it does!

[@lowcostsailor]

It works with Autohelm ST4000 but not with Autohelm 4000 that doen´t have seatalk protocol.

Can we buy these in the UK? i just tried to order one on your site and am not seeing an option to send to scotland. The whole thing looks great and i have just shared your video with pals who i am sure will also want to buy

[@lowcostsailor]

Hello Dave. Yes, we ship to the UK. I've just enable the option in the shop, now you can select United Kingdom as the shipping address. Right now we have stock for all versions of the remote control. If you have any questions you can contact us at [e-mail] THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! 😀😀😀

[@davegordon3982]

Received mine, they work perfectly. I have the raymarine one as well, ans these work just as well, and actually normally connect quicker. I got them as spares and generally have the LCS one round my neck now, so very happy with it, thanks

[@dondakin1]

Why not use the arduino as a web server to create a small web page with control buttons and then use your phone as the remote on the web page....

[@lowcostsailor]

It's a good option, but I think that a dedicated remote is more useful in many circumstances.. But we plan to do something similar in the future..

[@EngineerK]

Thanks for this - very cool. Just one comment, your (low cost?) audio needs a bit of work.

[@lowcostsailor]

IA for audio is still a work in progress, but the alternative, redoing de vídeo completely in English, specially with more than 90 videos already published in our Spanish channel, is a lot of work.

[@noldushumlesnurr6169]

@@EngineerK I find the audio quality quite good. What kind of improvement are you suggesting? English is not my first language, so I wonder if it is an interpretation ( brain processing ) thing?

[@EngineerK]

@@noldushumlesnurr6169 its just a microphone issue
