Users / 85' Power Boat - need to integrate digital power & steering controls
« on: February 21, 2009, 09:52:10 am »
Hi Guys & Gulls
Been all over the planet looking for joystick type, digital engine & steering controls that I can integrate
into the core of this system, as I believe there are huge areas of common interest & functionality.
The major problem with conventional big boat systems is obviously running all the SS steering cable and hydraulic lines all over the boat. Imagine just one lousy leak or break?
To this end, the solutions, as I see them, are to either run electrical data via wire or RF
I would even consider both - as fallback in the event of the RF being knocked out or vice-versa.
Are there any such interfaces that play decently with your MCE?
I have looked at your system and believe it to be about the best around - it should run perfectly as the
boat will be live 24/7 and we need a monster AV/TV + ISP + VOIP + SAT + GSM + Security + Yadda anywho.
Any and all suggestions will be most appreciated.
Best Regards>Jack
