#PiBoat (Respberry Pi Boat)

PiBoat is a hackathon project in Nanjing 2015 Sponsor by Qianmi.com. This project finished in 24 hours by 3 engineers.

#1. RTSP Video Streaming

• Use Respberry Pi Camera Module capture video stream

• Use VLC provide RTSP Streaming

raspivid -o - -w 920 -h 540 -t 9999999 |cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/}' :demux=h264

You can play the Stream use VLC client, the address is

rtsp://192.168.1.101:8554

#2. ESC (Eletronic Speed Control) control

Use Python and RPi.GPIO pwm control ESC

#3. Servo control

Use Python and RPi.GPIO pwm control servo

#4. GPS control

Not finished, use serial gather GEO inof from a Ublox GPS 6M module.

#5. Install WiFi Hostspot Plug a usb wifi card to Pi's USB port run shell script sudo ./ap_setup.sh , it will help you configure a WiFi Hotspot.

#6. Android App

Use Socket connect to Respberry Pi, use Vitamio play video stream. Install the App to your phone, and connect the Wifi Hotspot your created.

• Install a lastest Respbian System, we use 2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.img, and start it success.

• Connect ESC signal line to GPIO12, Ground line to Pi GPIO6

• Connect Servo signal line to GPIO18

• Connect Respberry Pi Camera Module ，then run sudo apt-get install vlc

• run 'sodu python SockBoatServer.py ' start the socket server.

• run Android app and controll the boat.

The project is open source under Apache Lincinse, you play with it feel free.
