OpenMarine - MacArthur Hat Project - A board to connect your Pi to marine electronics

- UPDATE: Now available to buy from shop.openmarine.net/
In this video, we get a development board from OpenMarine to test as part of the MacArthur Hat project. Please note that this is still work in progress and the final design could change from what is seen here. All test boards have been assigned and when fully released they will be available from openmarine.net/
The idea behind the board is that it provides the electronics needed to connect to your boat systems and provide data back into the OpenPlotter software. This board can stay on your boat for years to come, it could support migrations from different platforms or just add functionality to systems you already have. Either way, it's a great piece of hardware to complete the excellent software they have designed.

Great, as always. Thanks for the introduction
Many thanks for your comments
Thanks. Clear!! It's on my roadmap for next winter.
You won’t be disappointed, it’s a great board.
Great video! I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!
Many thanks for your comments👍⛵️
What a brilliant Open Source project.
They are going from strength to strength with the latest software and hardware. This is going to be a great product.
I want one. No, I NEED one. Great video, thanks. I've been following this hat for a while and it looks like great progress is being made.
Yeah, its a great board and im sure the final product will be a great adition to what they have done so far. Did you catch the Influx video? Is that the same way you set yours up as i think you did that before me?
Brilliant! open hardware here we come! need 2 -- (spares a must) ⚓💙
It’s a great HAT ⛵️
I bought one from the first batch, looking forward to to playing around with it next season. Thanks for the video :)
Excellent, great bit of kit. Enjoy ⛵️
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys Thanks! I sent you over a coffee :) Take care
@thats-no-moon we just got that - thank you very much! ⛵️👍
Top 5 pi project 2023 😊
Just found this. I will buy one when it os ready. I want all my electronics to be open source.
Shouldn’t be much longer now and definitely worth the wait!
Great! Can’t wait for your next video on this! When will this hat be released? I need one! 😃 Will it also work as a multiplexor so NMEA 2k units can listen and talk to other NMEA 0183 units?
Many thanks for the comments. I’m not sure on Openmarine’s plan for a release date just yet, I will share what updates I can and I would also keep an eye on the website and forums. It will multiplex and support migrations from one network to the other. I’ve done some of this with their software and plugins in my other videos, it would just mean you can use this HAT to connect it all up and not need to build or buy additional electronics. They have done a great job with this hardware.
Great!! What power supply do you use for raspberry pi and that HAT?
Hi, I purcahsed the power module for the HAT, so that now powers my Pi and you can run it directly from 12v.
fantastic! now that raspberry pi has releaseg the new pi 5 will it be compatible?
I’m guessing a few changes will be required to support that. Several new features on the Pi5! I’ve placed an order already for mine.
Hello , Have you reference of your I2C temperature module & also the adaptor ?
Hi, it’s all from the Pihut, the I2c is BME280 Breakout - Temperature, Pressure, Humidity Sensor
PIMORONI
SKU: PIM472
And the adaptor is this
Adafruit Qwiic / Stemma QT 5 Port Hub
ADAFRUIT
SKU: ADA5625
Very informative.
What screen are you using on your boat?
Many thanks for your comments. This is the screen www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253289838646?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=sA4xWqdKSHW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1XqhIgr5QPm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY although the price has increased from £60 to £90. It’s been reliable and doesn’t use a lot of power.
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys quite reasonable! Thx
My question is not directly related to the HAT, but I'm struggling connecting Seatalk 1 to a RasPi. Do I need an Optocoppler doing so, or is it possible to get Seatalk data via an USB to serial 422 which I bought? I own Raymarine ST60 instruments and have an Multiplayer called Brookhouse on board. Sorry for my newbie question, but I'm quite lost at this stage how to get Seatalk in my Pi. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Hi, You have a couple of options I think. Might need some further details to help if this doesn't work but I've just had a look at that Multiplexer and if it's in the correct place and the seatalk network is connected to it you should be able to connect your serial device to it and get the data in. Have you got anything connected into the RS232 or the RS422 ports on it? Do you know what it's doing? If you go to our website and send us an email, I'll respond so you can share some photos if that helps?
If you don't have any other way of connecting the Seatalk then the cheapest method with a Raspberry Pi is via an Optocoupler. The MacArthur hat is another option, although slightly more money it gives you loads of options for the future.
@@BoatingwiththeBaileys thanks a lot, I'll write you an email and think about the McArthur HAT.
Good video! Can anyone make some elecronic for mast (2 cables to mast ..+-48v and ethernet).. and on top have verious devices like radar, wearher sensors,antenas ,light have mini dc/dc konverters but all info goes thrue cat5 cable..
System is future proff with 48V and info and makes easy felis search... thow on top of mast.. which you would have to do anyway
Hi, thanks, you would need to be careful with power demand running that kind of kit over cat5, it can be done but they tend to run the power over multiple pairs in networking and then you need extra electronics to split power and data back out. Then added complexity of waterproofing all of this.
Any news on release date?
Hi, not that I’m aware of, but I don’t think it will be too long now
Given that the MacArthur hat is still completely unavailable, how would you set this up without it? I've been waiting a long time for this thing to come out, but at this rat eI don't think they're gonna release it anytime soon to the public.
I don’t think it’s far off now. The release of the Pi5 has made them move a couple of components to ensure compatibility. Further info here forum.openmarine.net/showthread.php?tid=4939
I made boards to connect it up last time which are shown on some of my videos. I think the PICAN-M board is still available for connecting to the N2k network and you can also build a board to connect to seatalk1 that smart sailing did a great video on.
Really don’t think it’s going to be long away now. It’s worth the wait.
is that an egg that i'm looking at?
The HAT is a new project/product by Openmarine.net
