Freeboard Navigation Instruments and Chartplotter

Freeboard is a new way to provide marine instruments and navigation tools over WIFI with low cost open hardware (Arduino and Raspberry Pi).

NEW: Freeboard interface pcb arrives. See https://www.42.co.nz/freeboard/technical/interfacing/freeboardinterfaceboardv1.2/index.html

Goals

minimal cost
maximum interoperability
support compass, wind, log, autopilot, charts, and other common uses.
use low cost commodity hardware for sensors and processors
support modern devices (PC, tablets, cellphones)
support for many simultaneous users
total system cost (less clients) <USD500
use common KAP/BSB or ENC map formats (US NOAA Raster charts work)
low power usage (currently 0.4A at 12v)

Thats achieved in a totally unique way, by providing the instruments and chartplotter via a web page over a local wifi link on your boat, so that any device with a web browser can access them.

This is the main server for the Freeboard server project.

See http://www.42.co.nz/freeboard for more.
