The Super whattmeter is good to 60V @ 50Amp = 3000watts, so it is a capable unit.

Under water RPM measurement in a test tank is the goal. I have an Astro Flight Supper Whatt meter I'm using for V, AH, W, and WH measurement. The last thing to measure is loaded RPM.

I was hoping...

Hello CanePole,
It has been a long time since I have posted and this is not a BOT.

My question is, when you were doing the poor mans ipilot project did you come a cross a way to measure the motor...

Rickie,
This the "real" CarolinaJim, has it been that long since I posted, time flies. Not sure if there is some computer glitch or I have been hacked. I only use this id on 2 forums.

PM me if...

It sucks that the don't have mount for their flagship TM's (Terrova,PD). Come on HB, we know that if we rotate the tm the image will distort.

Title says it all.

CP, yep performance of steering algo's was what I'm interested in. Thanks for the update.

Just checking in on this project.

There is only 1 way to measure speed and that is distance/time. There is more than 1 type of velocity.

CP, did you ever identify any nmea output from the i pilot itself?

yes

The only difference between the 2 will depend on how old your 1197 is. The difference is shielded transducer cable and I think right before 1198 came out is when the TD was changed to include...

Cane Pole,
I have riptide SP (Power drive) and I do not have/want foot pedal option only want to add route follower. Could I just add a DPDT switch to the steering motor input connected to output of...

I'd like to know if the HDS the OP is looking at has LSS attached, or is he saying he can read the 2d on hds just fine and can't see SI on HB?

Seems like a poor choice of battles to pick. Starting from not putting it down, these would be the easiest of brownie points of your life. Think of it as honoring your wife.

Because I was born and spent the first 6 years of my life in Beaufort, and lived the longest in any one place in Kill Devil Hills, and any place on the ocean in N and S Carolina feels more like home...

Update, I called HB support yesterday. They know the issue of only getting 0-+30 degree heading offset and the problem only happens if you do not have ethernet will be addressed in next release. HB...

You do know that both the lowrance and the HB have 2D and you do not have to use SI/DI, right? rotfl

I am actually neutral as well and have nothing against either unit. I have owned both brands (currently do not have any Lows) used them to catch to many fish to count. Dunc, the pro staff issue is on...

HB owners are humble enough to swallow their pride when there are issues and ask for help, because they see all the help people will give. Lowrance owners don't want to admit on the internet they...

Canepole, you have to put them in a route then it will follow them, but this can be done by using the cursor and hitting go to in the sequence you want to follow them.. This is why I'm so interested...

By the way I completely agree onscreen viewing of spotlocks and tracks and extra storage are the main advantages of link.

Not sure what you did not like about PD? MIne seems easy to operate/stow/deploy and it has the added advantage of staying powered on when running from spot to spot, the gps is spooled up and locked...

With link you can go to chart screen create a bunch of way points on a particular contour and have it follow it. So while not as easy or automatic as follow the contour you can still achieve the same...

I'm assuming a gen1/2 ipilot and not link. If it is terrova model you have to deploy to get the power to come on, you can slide the depth collar down so it is not in the water I'd also make sure uit...

After reading more on this over on bbc I was surprised at the issues. I thought the Low team did not have this amount of issues getting on a waypoint at slow speed.

Looks like the 10Hz on the HDS is going to do anything

Mine is mounted in rear of boat about 4' from outboard and 14' from tm.

I have to go eat. be back tomorrow.

It was consistent that .2mph on gps-hs equaled .5MPH on ipilot. Above 1.2 mph both ipilot and gps-hs showed the same speed all the way up to 3.4 mph (max tm speed). It seems they are dampening the...
