Project Summary
With a growing interest for innovative ideas in the marine industry regarding boat manufacturing and Internet of Things (IoT) integration with consumer electronics, this project seeks to offer an inventive take on these demands. This boat will provide the necessities of a flats fishing boat with low cost sensors and Bluetooth integration with a cellular device for an overall user-friendly experience on the water. Features such as GPS trip tracking, Barometer, Water Temperature, and basic boating telemetry are typically offered with consumer grade GPS units, however large costs often prohibit an average boater from experiencing these amenities. These are all intended to be integrated with data collection made possible by our Microcontroller Unit before displaying this data on our smartphone app, eliminating the need for purchasing an expensive GPS unit. With the integration of Bluetooth, low cost sensors, an inventive lightweight aluminum boat design, and powered by an electric motor this project should offer a fresh take on an aging industry.
