We started really, really early this morning. This is really, really early for me, which is 6AM. We wanted as close to a mirror surface sea as we could get for the next test of the PropEL drive train. The tests confirmed what were were predicting and so on to the next stage of Research and Development...
Some very good news for the HUI (control panel). I had wondered if the CanBus signals from the controller were interfering with the CanBus signals from the Navionics. They shouldn't, but... Anyhow, with the new IDC interconnect board and all the terminations and routing now correct I thought I would try again and... yes... worked perfectly!
So now with a press of a button on the HUI you can change from showing data about the motor (eg battery voltage) to the navionics (eg wind speed).
Need to test further, but seems like we've cracked that at last!
