Boating with the Baileys
United Kingdom
Registrace 7. 09. 2020
Join us as we go back to sailing, from purchasing a boat to our sailing adventures. We're currently sailing in the Solent on the south coast of the UK on a Bavaria 36. Our videos are a mixture of sailing and projects. We've sailed over to the channel islands, down the Devon coast, stopped in some spectacular bays and also fixed the boat in the same locations!
Our Bavaria is a 2004 2-cabin version of the B36 cruiser range. She has a 28hp Volvo MD2030 engine with a sail drive. We have lots of technical and maintenance videos on the channel and further information on our website boatingwiththebaileys.com

Just wondering why is Home Assistant not a natural choice for such dashboards? It has all the flexibility and support of a vast community, plus it can be integrated with SignalK/Grafana easily.
Hi, Its a good question but I haven't yet seen a compass/wind wiget with the same level of detail as the one in KIP, thats now able to show bearing to waypoint and i think tidal data is next on the list as an example. Its the same with all this software, you want to borrow the best bits from each system. KIP is also incredibly efficent on the CPU when compaired to Grafana, i did some live data testing and it won hands down. I personally still think that OpenPlotter is the best of sailing/boating opensource software.
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys I saw that KIP widget and it's impressive. It's a pity they decided to write a new software from scratch, though, considering HA is such a good platform for it already - especially considering it has support for so many other widgets one would want to also display, aside of the compass/widget.
I have a couple of esp32 devkitv1 boards that I could not get them to work. They would not save the wifi credentials. Is it because of the v1 boards??
Hi, it shouldn't be the board version, I've also had this problem. Have you tried setting that information in the uploaded code? Does that make them work? When I had this issue, I had to flash the board with a completely different set of code and then start again. Making small code changes didn't help. Let us know home you get on.
I also am having this problem. Using the captive portal, save button on wifi won’t do anything when pressed. Tried multiple boards, tried specifying the wifi ssid and password in the code. No matter what I do, they won’t connect to any wifi. Using a “normal” Arduino code works fine 😞
I too have the same “non branded” dev kit boards (cheap ones from AliExpress). I wonder if there’s a difference in wifi chip or something…
Interesting- maybe it is that board. My 2nd one was one of these. The FireBeetle I got from Pihut just worked, never had any issues with that one. Maybe it is the WiFi chip
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys I tried setting wifi credentials in the code and also different versions of sensesp including the very latest Version 3. Nothing worked. I do have some v3 boards on order to test. I'll let you guys know how they work. Also not much help from the github community.
How do I reset my system? I've had it for a year now and I have been having some trouble with it not charging my batteries. I just got new batteries a few weeks ago.
Hi, have the batteries changed type? What's happening when you try and charge them?
Thanks. Looks easy, last time I did it, it needed 2527 strokes on the little lever of the pump to get all the air out. i now have a seringue and fill up the filters with diesel as much as possible before mounting them. Cheers.
Hi - yeah I was surprised by that, I thought it would take ages but it filled the primary quickly and then we got the air out of the engine filter. I also thought it might run lumpy but it didn't. That lever does feel like it's doing nothing 😀
Ca this code be pasted into my existing ESP 32 code?
Hi, I don't see why not. If you need some help if you head to our website and drop us an email we can help you

Watching your video while on the hook off Priory Bay in thick fog 👍
Thanks for watching and take care in the fog. ⛵️
Really a very good video. Thank you. But I have question, at 1:35 min you have to initialize the PPM, but do you take the "Currenty PPM" or the "Cumulative PPM"? Thank you very much in advance.
Thanks for your comments on the video - You take the Cumulative value, the longer you leave it to run, the more stable that value should get. Mine got to the point where it hardly changed and that was what i used.
Really enjoy your digitizing a sailboat videos. I was going over your main.cpp visual studio code. You have a duplicate line in your include statements. #include "sensesp/sensors/digital_input.h". I'm sure some geek has already mentioned it in the comments and it has been fixed.
Hi, Many thanks for your comments and also pointing out that duplicate include statement. I've updated the code online now. Thanks.
Well it convinced me to buy one! I'm hamble based and have coppercoat so regular cleaning is needed. Fingers crossed!!
It's really good, used mine again this last week as we sailed down the coast. I think it will work well with coppercoat.
Hi, I follow your videos but have not seen them all so maybe answer is in one of them... what is the system on the top of your engine ? is it for cooling or heating or something else ? thanx
Hi, is that the black box that says Adverc on it or the green header tank with coolant in?
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys I don't see "Adverc" but yes with a transparent pipe that looks like coolant in it , and a smaller black /orange pipe.
@gg-jz7wt yes that to the header tank. With this boat having a hot water tank that's heated from the engine, the coolant gets very close to the top of the heat exchanger. Having an external tank that's above that helps to get rid of any air in the system. That pipe is the return and then the clear one with green in is to the top of the heat exchanger.
just out of interest where did you get the housing from for the speed sensor? all the ones i see online seem to have no housing which seems ridiculous?
Hi, this all came with the boat so I'm not able to comment. I would have thought that a new transducer would come with the housing, and if not that is really strange. Something like this comes with the housing.www.force4.co.uk/item/Raymarine/T910-Triducer/Y60?stock=44280&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADow_avutk6MQ-rAlfzM0MqK6FxkZ&gclid=CjwKCAjw74e1BhBnEiwAbqOAjJgy2UbNxdPIYVKne7ka-wwLwzxxAZUMR8VwmaRROftLNPWgF5VduRoCprAQAvD_BwE
Hi Matt, had an review over some things that recently stopped working and have to admit that every time i dont work with it for a while it feels like startingover again. Question i had is where and how do you code in the standard Wifi network on the ESP, I tried it once under the platformio.ini but never got it working. Any suggestions here ?
I have a question regarding how you are picking up your engine temperature. Did you just tap into the factory engine wiring harness at the temperature gauge? Or did you run a completely Different isolated temperature sensor strictly for the open plotter system? I'm getting ready to start a similar project on my houseboat and was curious if I could just use the existing engine temperature and oil pressure sensors and tap into the engine wiring harness and run it off the same sensors without messing up the accuracy of the sensor. What is your experience taught you?
Hi, I'm thanks for the question - yes mine is a separate sensor as this engine only had a temperature switch. I installed the sensor where the factory option is for the deluxe panel. When I started this i didn't want to mess with the original electronics, I wanted to be able to remove everything if it didn't work. As it happens it's been great and not caused any problems. You can tap into this stuff and use what's already on the engine but I think it's difficult to run both. I'm not sure resistive type gauges will work with two things trying to measure from the same source but would interesting to try this.
DOKIO=JUNK
Not had a good experience?
Q it does say can just connect the USB W/O BATTERY CONECCTION.
Sorry - are you asking if you can? The answer is yes, it will charge via usb without a battery
You might find you tube sight “ Ben Timby “ helpful on how to load routes, axiom is poor example of modern plug and play device
I go hunting for about a week at a time each year. It's usually overcast with rain but random scattered sun. Just looking for something that can keep my phone charged and my kids tablet. Do you think this and a 12v car battery would work? Or am i just better off with a 5 dollar 12v cigarette lighter charger for the atv
It will definitely keep a phone charged, it doesn't even need to be connected to a 12v to use the USB function.
Thanks
When I bought our boat in Milford haven in April, I set off to bring it to its new berth in Fleetwood Lancashire. I went from Milford round to anchor overnight in Fishguard, very sheltered and good holding had a good night sleep. Next day went Fishguard to Pellheli harbour, beautiful one and had a day off there. Next morning I headed to Hollyhead for 1 night. Now I did contact the MOD regarding sailing across Cardigan bay, best to let them know in case they are firing live rounds into the ocean 👍
Hi, thanks for the information and advice about the MOD. Looking forward to exploring Milford, Fishguard and then making our way up the coast
Another 50HP with the performance air filter? ...... I don't think so
It was just a joke... it's still ok to do that every now and then?
The weather is terrible this summer, you might have a better time next year
Hi Nick - yeah, this summer seems a bit of a repeat of last year when it was 20knts or nothing. Fingers crossed we just get a couple of weeks with more stability 👍
Sounds like a super trip. I grew up in North Wales and get back there every month or so to visit family.
Just hopefully the weather holds and then we can get going! ⛵️
What a great adventure. An epic journey! Enjoy and be safe. I know you will.😊
It's time - we're looking forward to it ⛵️👍
Have a look at some of the recent videos from Sailing Melody. I think they are in there at the moment and they have documented their trip through the Menai Straights.
Will do - thanks Richard ⛵️👍
Bought the 80w Dokio (very cheap from Amazon) just for "fun". I bought another 30W panel with charger (about the same price) year before. The charger I got from the 30W panel is exactly the same as yours (but with a different "skin" but functions the exact same) and its a cheap PWM China charger ofc but it works for my application. The one I got with my 80w Dokia looks exactly the same as yours but missing a button... So I can not configure anything, I can "check" but not configure... Maybe it's an upgrade (plug and play) and maybe it's a severe downgrade... I don't know... the only thing I know atm is that the 30W panel actually is more stable sort of then this 80W Dokio... but again it's lightweight, foldable and it does put some power down... and it was dirt cheap... so can not complain much...
Hi, interesting - how are you finding the output of the 80w panel?
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys Just actually tried it today sort of. Connected the same batteries (small 12v, 7,2AH AGM batterys) to both of them just to check. They are standing next to each other so getting the same sun with the same angle. And the Dokio is almost doing worse from what I can see (then again only from their charge controllers so not a true test ofc). I think the panels on the Dokia is actually what is rated (in my case 80w) but the plastic cover/protection and what not is hindering the panels... like puttin you "bare" panels behind a glass pane. So it is probably 80w (in my case 2x40w) panels for sure... but maybe delivering maybe 40-50w tops... I bought a long time a go a chinese solar panel for soldering (no covering, bare panel) and it was (as far as I remember 2w maybe just maybe 2,5w) but it was rocking... that 2-2,5w was pretty much every angle, and low sun light... bought another panel same dimensions but with a "cover" and it was not near the same output. So I'm guessing the panels is exactly what is rated but the product (with the protective cover) is not actually so great... Again my 30w panel is delivering the (it has no plastic cover) better... I don't know really the plastic does a good job also, easier to clean, longevity when you bring it to places... But I think it hinders the output of the panels for sure. I think it scatters the waves, and maybe with perfect placement it does works but remove the plastic and you don't need that perfect placement... Just my thoughts... I will test it some more, but for now my 30w (fixed panel) does seem to produce more energy then my 80w Dokio... and I think I know why. ----edit Just checked both panels (they are side by side) and now it's really low light, sun is setting)... Dokio 12,1v (so not charging as much) and my 30w doing 13v still so charging battery (somewhat). As the Dokio was so cheap (campaign of sorts) maybe I will get another one and take the plastic cover off to check the differences). I think it with the plastic cover of it will get more scattered light into the panels sort of and actually get better output overall... but yes will be prone to damage)... Would be cool to check what the difference is though... ---edit2 🙂 www.amazon.se/dp/B07JVJJH47/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07JVJJH47&pd_rd_w=GaTj4&content-id=amzn1.sym.7a4fbf23-63c0-49ba-afa3-64d64b9ffe92&pf_rd_p=7a4fbf23-63c0-49ba-afa3-64d64b9ffe92&pf_rd_r=ZPPVKNJQ3P0E8TZBV778&pd_rd_wg=ybcLJ&pd_rd_r=7a55f7f6-7a94-4575-b1f4-d68469c6c9e9&s=industrial&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw This is twice the price of what I payed (in my country from the same Dokio brand) and should output only 20w more. But I bet theese output actually 100w for longer than theese 80w (my variant) foldable does. But again... If I get 60-70w with perfect placement I'm happy with them. They are more portable and lightweight...
@alexanderwingeskog758 interested results. You will definitely get better performance from the rigid panel in the link above than a flexible one. I might take the covers off one of mine and give that a try
OK, Have I missed something? I cannot get the downloaded image '2024-06-19-OpenPlotter-v4-Starting-stable' to boot up to the installlation , all I get is a black screen with a few lines of test.
Hi, is that just booting from an Sd card?
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys Yers, Managed to get it sorted, now having to wait for snail mail from Spain for the rest of the parts.
That's funny, this is exactly the system I have, too. I did make a 3d printed case to accommodate the airflow and the MacArthur hat. Love the O-charts dongle as I had lost the key in the past. Be careful with the cable going from the NVMe base to the Pi5. My hold down bracket broke. Waiting for Seatalk...
Hi, I've seen a couple of the cases, that's on my list but so is a 3d printer!
I just installed the new release of OP4. It is on a Pi5 w/ MacAuthor hat/Maiana/SenseESP. All works except that KIP Zones are no longer available. That is the Zones tab in the KIP setting is missing. Is this a know issue or a user error? Thanks for any help.
Hi - KIP zones have changed a lot since this version, in the latest version they use SignalK as the source and are system wide. You will need to set them up again from SignalK rather than in KIP, Kip will just detect them and show then without any additional changes. Go to SignalK, Data Browser and check the slider by Meta Data. You can configure Zones on that page. You can also uninstall the zones plug-in i believe but if you have a fresh install and its fully up to date it might not have been installed from the start.
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys Thanks, I got it working now. By default Signal K Data Browser Meta Data is/was turn off. Having is "on" is key to seeing the Zone settings. Yes, I have the "Zones" plug-in which added to the confusion. I am now removing. Kudos. Any recommendation for a source on KIP documentation ?
@dreupen there isn't really a document, some of the help points at my videos which I did for them. They are on v2.10 or 2.11 now. This was the last fundamental change which introduced the config manager/authentication. Since then it's been cosmetic and some other improvements and zones which I haven't had chance to cover KIP 2.4.1 - Lots of new features to this excellent software package! SignalK - KIP - OpenPlotter czcams.com/video/uDas858rf6Y/video.html
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys I am finding it a bit wanky. I first added nominal, alert, warn for my start battery which showed up as expected on the KIP radial display. I then set zones for my LiFePO4 house battery and it looks fine but now the zone are no longer displayed on the start battery KIP display. The meta data looks fine. I restarted signal K each time and still no joy. Do you have this issue?
@dreupen you have to tell Kip to display Normal and Nominal states, that's under general options in Kip, by default it only shows alerts. Has the data updated for the other battery, I found that if nothing got sent to Kip as in a data update it wouldn't show the zone.
Great to watch thank you , trying to do the same on my aquastar 27 , not sure if I can connect the ST 7000 to the new axiom 9 rv , or axiom 9+ at the moment it’s linked to my C80 . Stew , wadebridge.
Hi, thanks for your comments. It looks like it's seatalk so some connection can be made. I can't control mine directly from the axiom, I have to activate/standby from the head unit. I believe you can send it a track but I've not actually tried that since I installed it. You might need a seatalk to seatalkNG converter and then I think it depends on what else you have on that old network if that's worth the investment, if that's how all your other data gets across then like I did, it's worth it
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys many thanks for your reply , there was a speed -log and a depth also a small Raymarine 158i gps , also an analog radar , I’ve removed the speed/log transducer and fitted a pair of RV 320 transducers to go with the new 2 x 9” axioms , think I’ll run it all as two separate systems for this season as no funds left for a new radar at the moment . 🥟 stew .
Sounds like a good plan. I still haven't replaced my analog radar, i went with an upgrade on my AIS first. I think i need to do the same and start replacing my older ST60 units before i purchase a radar.
Nice project.
Many thanks for your comment
Hi, thanks for the informative video, which is much easier to understand than the provided instructions. Can you explain to me which battery I would select for a wet acid filled leisure battery please?
Hi, I think it was B1, around 14.4v max is enough for this battery type.
Thanks for the walk through
Thanks for your comments 👍
Thankyou just about to do this. Think I'll put a big bucket under the boom end when I remove it as mines in line with the transom. I ordered new wheels as my cars are running really rough
Good luck with it. The bucket is a great idea 👍⛵️
I´m planning on using this to charge a battery on a boat. On that battery I connect a electric motor. Should I rather connect the electric motor to this controller instead of having the motor directly connected to the battery?
I would keep your motor connected to the battery. That little controller is only really designed to switch on some lights etc, the motor might draw more than it can handle.
Hi, can you let us know the actual sensor transducers you’re using - temp/rpm etc please?
This video might help you. I'm using a circuit that's linked in this video for RPM, for temp it's a KUS temp sensor and a voltage divider. You can also use digital 1wire sensors which I've used for the exhaust temp and now oil temp - let me know if you need anything further - OpenPlotter - ESP32 - Circuits & Sensors - Digitising an older engine MD2030 - SensESP czcams.com/video/I12NdvRQNxY/video.html
Where can I get a Scrubbis? I have not been able to locate one.
Hi, I got mine from force4, they show as in stock on the website.
Subscribed. Very interested in kitting our boat out with this setup, instead of some obsolete-ware garmin type of affair.
Hi, thanks for subscribing- you can basically do what you want with it which is really good. Give us a shout if you need any help
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys Cheers, I can see from your roster of videos that most of my questions have been answered so I appreciate that. What I am currently trying to source is a decent enough panel that could sit outside. I'd rather not have touch screen but maybe a couple of page selecting momentary switches. Also just been down a rabbit hole on how to get a signal from the NASA clipper depth sounder. I love their simple kit, but looks like I need to learn a bit of arduino to make that work. Happy Sailing and regards from Milford Haven.
Have a look on the OpenMarine forum for the NASA kit, I'm sure someone has done that. I had a Duet on my last boat and it was great. Gonna try and get to Milford Haven soon, looks really nice 👍
Useful to see before my first attempt changing the fuel filters. All worked out well apart from the smell of diesel and the engine fired up first time without even a splutter! Thanks for sharing!
Many thanks for your comments
A very helpful video. Thank you.
Many thanks for your comments
Can you modify the code base to include the real-time watts usage as well.
Hi - Yes it could, at the moment i'm doing that in Node-red as its helping me learn that platform and i've also made it show me cost. I can have a look at adding that to the code. We just need to times it by the voltage and create another path
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys Thank you I am learning from your examples as well. Can you show us how you also did this in node red as well.
Hi, I will do a video on Node Red but it's likely to be a few months yet. I need to do some sailing while the weather is still good. I will come back this though 👍⛵️
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys Fair enough enjoy your time at sea. For the next round of videos can you also do a DC shunt voltage current and watts as well.
Thanks Great🎉fantastic
Many thanks for your comments on the video.
I'm confused, are you getrinf 115v AC in th3 U.K.??? I thought it wad 230v there, but the numbers you shown aren't mathing for me. They'd break out to 115v AC, unless I'm just braindead and missing something. 😵💫
Hi - We are 230v, we're supposed to be the same as Europe now however, today things are sat at 246v. Did i say the wrong voltage in the video?
Thanks a lot for all the explanations!
Many thanks for your comments on the video.
Regarding the data prioritization. You had seatalk (so a Raymarine device, right?) and you had issues with that alone? So you got a USB GPS device and plugged into the Pi. And made that set up with timeout so it should take the USB one first. But wouldn't it be ideal to stick to seatalk assuming that's a proper external GPS antena and also so you have the same position across all devices (like your external Raymarine plotter for example that uses the 'seatalk position')?
Hi, The main issue i had was with the time that the Pi was seeing on the Seatalk network. Although the rest of my Seatalk kit was fine with it, the Pi would keep switching the day and the month round, so data being logged with be in Jan 2nd and then the next minute Feb 1st and then back again. By using the cheap usb GPS and filtering the data, i could control that but also fall back to my Ray GPS if the usb was unplugged or not working. None of that data is passed back to the Ray kit as the Pi only reads from the Seatalk 1 network. That issue went away as i moved over to a MacArthur hat, and im now on N2K for part of my network. Its still really useful and i now filter my AIS GPS info from my Ray one as applications like OpenCPN dont link having more than one source. Hope that provides some context.
Learning for all of us (for me for sure) so I really appreciate the time you spend to create these videos. Keep them coming if you can. Cheers. Jim
Many thanks - I will try and do some more work either converting another skech or a plan for monitoring the heater that we have onboard.
Another interesting video, thanks... My latest project might interest you. I am using a Ecowitt weather system (uses ultrasonic for wind and direction) with its gateway and a esp with nextion display to show the information. I've also got ecotwitt wireless temperature and humidity sensors. The benefit with this, no raspberry pi required to be running!
Hi - Thanks for your comments. Your project sounds intestering, i'll have a look at these sensors. I would like something for the fridge thats wireless. Is that device talking direct to an ESP then?
You can buy an ecowitt gateway (little blue thing that can plug into usb for power) for the system and sensors then connect to it via rf. The gateway has a built web server to display the sensor data via a web page. However, it also has web api which output live json data. I coded the esp device to call this web service... So i guess out of the box you can monitor sensors from a web browser or use a esp to build an alarm device or somthing by having it monitor the live data
very good info thank you !!
Many thanks for your comments
Could you built one for me?
I would go with the Pi5 now rather than this one. Again its really simple and fun to build. Just start with the basics and build it up.
Looking around with the markets and waht is available I found a bunch of mini PC on Amazon and ali for as little as 80dollars .. why is the pi more preferable?
Hi - The OpenPlotter software is written for the Raspberry Pi, so that makes it really easy to get started. Just follow the guides and connect your sensors and or hats to get all the information you want straight into it.
