Well then that makes things considerably easier :) Here's what I would do: 1. Start out with a PID controller. The input to the PID controller...
The question would be, have you written any code yourself? You can find a lot of theoretical "code" for autopilot's that really revolves around a...
This is right up my alley... Here is our R&D boat: http://www.deepdowncorp.com/docs/EW%20Videos/StaSys%20Operational_NEW.wmv We took an old 12m...
We use these monitors on shipboard and offshore installations: http://www.hopeindustrial.com/ We have over 400 of these monitors in the wild...
(Can't say I read the entire message) I've written an industrial auto-pilot for vessels and I used a dual-PID controller approach. The first PID...
Thanks for the replies... This has to be incorporated into our in-house software, so using a third party package such as maxsurf or seakeeper...
I should also clarify, this is all for a vessel at zero speed. Thanks
