Here lie links to the details of little tasks we’ve used the Arduino to perform. The linked pages contain all the details, including schematics and the software (sketches and they’re called in the Arduino world).
Space Heater Thermostat… When it gets cold and while at a dock with AC power, we heat Legacy with a small space heater which alternately makes our boat too cold or too warm. No more jumping out of bed to turn the heater up or down!
Exhaust Temperature Alarm. Loss of water in the engine cooling system can be catastrophic and the first sign of a cooling water failure is the exhaust temperature. This non-contact sensor gives us an early warning, before damage can be done.
Chartplotter Alarm… Our new Simrad NSS9 EVO3 chartplotters have very quiet alarms. Arduino to the rescue!
More soon…
