FishPi - Raspberry Pi-based Inter-Atlantic Ship Project
Not so long ago, the cheap Raspberry Pie platform, which allows to run non-resource-intensive applications and display 1080p-quality video, finds the most obvious and simple household applications: media server, torrent box, desktop computer. George Holloway went a little unusual way: he decided to make “raspberry pie” the core of “fish”. Sounds delicious?

The project, called Fish Pie, aims to create a small autonomous boat, managed by Rasbury Pie and able to cross the Atlantic Ocean due to the energy supplied by a 130-watt solar battery. At the moment, a concept confirmation device is being developed, which is a small (body length - half meter) surface boat, driven by a 40-mm propeller.
The Raspberry Pie board is enclosed in an inverted waterproof container. It will control the steering behavior and the electronic speed controller via a servo controller via the I²C interface based on the GPS sensor and compass readings. Instead of the currently unavailable camera module , the usual “eye” connected via USB will be used.
The Raspberry Pie will be powered from 6 nickel-metal hydride elements at 1.2 volts each through a linear regulator to achieve 5 volts. A similar linear regulator will be used to obtain 3.3 volts for devices on the I²C bus.
The first demonstration of the unfinished device is scheduled for July 3 at the Nottingham Hackspace meeting. You can follow the fate of the project on his website and through his Twitter account .
Raspberry Pi is a single board computer comparable in size to a regular bank card. It is equipped with 256 MiB of memory, a Broadcom BCM2835 processor of the ARM11 family, one or two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, RCA pins, an SD memory card slot and an Ethernet port in full configuration. Computer cost is 25 or 35 US dollars.
