@petleh82 what about the power ? how much power the control motors need ?
-
I looked up the arduino. Very cool, thanks.
I think I'll order one to play with this winter. You've got some great videos.

A PDC10 is made by a company called UNAV. I bought 1 from them years ago. It does the same thing. Reads the NMEA and converts it to a servo signal for RC servos for UAV airplanes.
I tried building my own first using a Parallax basic stamp microcontroller and got it to work but my code writing skills aren't enough for it to be smooth. Rudder corrections were jerky with the servo.
Yours is impressive. Thanks for subscribing to my video.

Way cool!!!! So you just punch in a waypoint or route and enable the pic? I'm working on a smaller version for my canoe but since I don't know programing I'm using a pdc10.

@MrGeneralfischer Hello, in the final version i just connected a garmin handheld gps to it and put in a waypoint. Then the garmin gps (or any other navigation gps with nmea out) will output the amount and direction you need to turn to point to the waypoint. And i just listened to that data with the pic. This was a couple of years ago, today there is arduino. I don't know what a pdc10 is..

Its controlled på microchip pic, and gps input, no compass. In the video i still have it connected to a computer to finetune the algorythm (pid like). When i was satisfied with the code i programmed the pic with it. So i just hade to feed it with nmea.
