Boat-Net (Python3)

-- WEB-GUI based system for camping or boat trips, runable on raspberry pi 3, includes:

LTE Antenna Rotator:

• Rotator is scanning for best net ( 3G / 4G ) and align to strongest signal

• Scan cycles and methode dependent on changing GPS position and signal strength

  Scan methodes Ideas (need a solution: my servo for the rotator is pretty noisy):

  • activ fast scan (pretty noisy)
  • activ slow scan (not so noisy)
  • passiv scan (without rotating servo.. just let the boat rotate in the wind if set anchor)

  HW-Setup:

  • LTE-Modem: Huawei e3372
  • Antenna rotor controller: Arduino Mega 2560 or Arduino Nano
  • Gyro / Compass sensor for Arduino: GY-91 MPU9250 BMP280 10DOF
  • https://www.instructables.com/id/Tilt-Compensated-Compass/

Free WIFI Scanner:

• Scanning permanently for free WIFI and test ping 8.8.8.8 if usable

• Using VPN

Weather Information:

• plot data from weather sensor on raspberry pi to web page

  HW-Setup:

  • Weather sensor: BME280 on Raspberry pi
  • https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2016/07/using-bme280-i2c-temperature-pressure-sensor-in-python/

GPS Information:

• change GPS cordinates for Maps an Links on web page

  HW-Setup:

  • GPS - Stick: Diymall Vk-172 vk 172 Gmouse G-Maus Usb

Status:

All of this are under development. Some parts, like wifi/main.py or web_gui/bme280.py, are ready to useable as standalone.

so..

A lot to do !!!
