BOAT IO

*** Now with Real Time Clock and Shutdown Button Capability ***

The Boat IO or Boat Input/Output, is a single circuit board that can be plugged into a Raspberry Pi. The Boat IO design is centered on monitoring the electronics and electrical systems on a modern boat. Many features have been embedded into the design to allow as much flexibility as possible:

GPS module
CAN Bus/NMEA 2000 interface
Eight Digital Inputs
Two Digital Outputs (0.5A)
Four Analog Inputs
NMEA0183 Interface
Two programmable LEDs
Real Time Clock
Shutdown Button Input

Each of the interfaces can be programmed using Python or other similar languages on the Pi.

Interfaces

BOAT IO has several interfaces
J2 - CAN bus to connect to you existing NMEA2000 bus
J3 and J7 - Digital inputs to monitor status e.g. bilge pumps
J4 - Analog inputs to measure battery voltage
J5 - MMCX Connector for GPS Antenna
J8 - Serial connection for NMEA0183
J10 - Isolated outputs to control devices
