The Knots Box

An attempt to build a functional battery-powered GPS-based spedometer for small sailboats.

Hardware

  • Based on ESP32 microcontroller.
  • Guition ESP32-S3 4.3-inch LCD display module. This module has almost everything needed for the device in a single package, and it is cheaper than other similar modules.
  • QUESCAN G10A-F30 GNSS module based on the UBX-M10050-KB chip - supports multiple GNSS systems and has reasonable speed accuracy.
  • Two buttons to provide power on/off and other actions.

Software

This repository holds all the software for the device. Based on Platform.IO, and uses some functions from ESP-IDF by Esspressif. A fork of x99/NMEAParser is used for parsing NMEA sentences and the display drivers are copied from example code provided by display module manufacturer.
