Our project „autopilot“, an Arduino based do it yourself autopilot, generated obviously some interest, as I am asked for the source code repeatedly.

Our blog articles related to Arduino can be viewed here (German language only).

The documented source code can be viewed / copied here:
arduino autopilot blue-felix.de v1.0 beta.txt

The circuit layout (in Fritzing file format) can be downloaded here:
arduino autopilot blue-felix.de v1.0 beta.fzz

Please note, that this is still a beta version which was never tested under real (rough) sailing conditions! Use at your own risk!

To be done: add rudder position sensor (potentiometer); add IR remote control;
