Carplounge GPS Autopilot V2

Carplounge autopilot control unit for use with food Carplounge boats.

Instead of a normal remote control of a boat while lining Carplounge autopilot Android Tablet / Phone is used. The necessary software is available for free in the Google Play Goals available and can be used on any Android device with Bluetooth. The tablet is connected via Bluetooth to a transmitter box with the boat and can now fully control it via the touch screen. In manual mode, the boat may look like a normal bait boat used and gesteurt via the touchscreen. The location and driving directions of the boat, and orientation (compass function!) Are shown on the map and updated. In addition, promising fishing spots (spots), for example. using the echo sounder were found to be stored and named via the built-in GPS, for example, "Bridge links", "Point 1", "Home", etc.

In autopilot mode, the points can be selected and combined to create a route with associated actions (left hatch / hatch rights on / left on Release / Release on rights / light switch on ...).

Example: 1) go to position "Stelle1" since arrived right on Luke 2) go to position "web links" since arrived left Luke to 3.) come back to the fishing spot and flashing again. The boat can now be loaded and runs the route automatically. It can be stored almost infinite number of spots and routes. By accurate measurement technology such as position and acceleration sensors and the latest GPS and Compass technology absolutely precise route guidance is possible to 90% with an accuracy of less than 30cm!

Also release the tension in the string while driving, especially during extension of two rods at different spots is intelligently solved simultaneously: you tense one or both cords while driving the boat, this is detected by the integrated electronics and controls the boat according to the train counter , so the boat is always to take the direct course to the selected destination without unnecessary curves and thus to generate string bows.

The autopilot will replace the normal remote control of the boat. Nevertheless, we offer the opportunity to connect with a remote control to the autopilot. So you can choose if you want to steer the boat on your tablet or the remote control. To autopilot control app all Android Tablets can be used with Bluetooth. Currently, our app is optimized for 7-inch tablets, smartphones and soon up to 10 inch Tablets prepared from the app 4 inch display. It is controlled via the touch screen of the tablet. An alternative is e.g. the Archos gamepad, which provides the driving and control over the function buttons with the integrated joysticks (Amazon link)

The possibilities and the intuitive operating concept of the new autopilot system will eventually replace normal radio remote controls completely in our food boats. The free, available on the Google Play Store app is used by us thus constantly evolving and expanding. Using automatic software updates over the PlayStore we can make feature requests, changes and enhancements to quickly update is available, without the autopilot or the boat must be sent to us. The autopilot app is updated automatically as usual tablet / smartphone.
