Overview

It is an open source Hack Boat it is fully 3d Printed and it has a water cooled motor with custom rudder for boat movement it uses 6 channel transmission to control the boat also it is fully covered with carbon - fiber on the inside body

Why I choose this project?

So behind choosing this project for a very long time, I was fascinated with this RC board since how the working principal like when I got to know about 3D printing. Then from now, I have been planning to build one for myself which I can 3-D print and it would be much more economical so for that I have made this

How to use this project

This project mainly is an hobby purpose project, but we can use it to feed fish or perform small rescue missions like for small project. It can send GPS tracking data from the pond with the Attach water quality monitor to the boat and check the water Quality of the pond.

Features

Questions

How big is the Water monitor PCB?

It measures 48.8 × 53.4 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Water monitor use?

18 parts, built around the ESP32-WROOM-32 and AMS1117-3.3. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Water monitor KiCad files?

From the Sadrita404/Hack-Boat repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/water monitor.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/water monitor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Water monitor design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
