I have an original Pi 1. When I first got it it was also collecting dust. Now it's on our boat, monitoring power, watching the bilge pumps, and uploading AIS traffic to marine traffic and aishub. And when sailing it pumps out instrument data to a smartwatch.
What it does is up to you, you are only limited by your imagination.
- privong 10y agoAny chance you have a writeup or blog post about the boat system? I'd be interested to read about the setup.
- ensignavenger 10y agoI recently acquired an old sailboat and have a couple of 1st gen Pis looking for a job- would be very interested in reading more about your system!
- yardie 10y agoThere is a project out there called freeboard-server it turns out boats NMEA data into html and json. Another project, kplex, multiplexes the boat data, NMEA, into something usable. Most of this was done while we were on sabbatical. And we didn't have a lot of Internet access. But I'll try and compile my project into something presentable.
