Tiller Autopilot For Small Sailboats

April 19, 2008 by Will O'Brien 7 Comments


[Dennis] sent in the glider that [Art] built, but I had to feature his dinghy autopilot. It runs on solar power, takes GPS data via serial and maintains the heading using a servo motor to drive the line. It’s an excellent solution for the hardware hacking boater.
