Raspberry Pi To Float Across The Atlantic In A Tiny Solar Powered Boat
The cheap and tiny $35 computer - Rasberry Pi is going to become the brain of an autonomous boat and float across the Atlantic ocean .
In a project dubbed FishPi , the Raspberry Pi will be used to control a tiny boat across the ocean which will be powered by a 130 watt solar panel . It will have on-board compass , GPS and camera .
"Massive 25 foot waves, 60mph winds, torrential rain, lightning, and the Kraken. None of those things should be put anywhere near a Raspberry Pi. On the Atlantic Ocean all of those are commonplace, and that is exactly where I’m sending my Raspberry Pi " Quotes developer Greg Holloway .
