Navigator Baitboat Autopilot System

Description

The document describes the Navigator Baitboat Autopilot System, designed for controlling bait boats used in carpfishing. It's not an adaptation of drone technology, but a purpose-built system comprising three key components:

1. Internal Module: This core component, installed inside the baitboat, manages the motor, rudder, hoppers, and lights. It features compatibility with Futaba remotes, a 2.4 GHz radiofrequency system, high-precision GPS and compass for navigation (within 25cm accuracy), and real-time battery monitoring via an app.
2. Bridge Module: This module facilitates communication between the boat and a mobile device. Key features include durable nylon construction, a 3500 mAh battery with USB-C charging and integrated solar panel, smart indicators for battery and connection status, a range of up to 700m (2.4 GHz) and 80m (Bluetooth), and a unique KitID for security.
3. Mobile Application ("Navigator Bait Boat"): This app (for iOS and Android) serves as the primary control interface. It offers features such as a virtual joystick, autopilot, route creation, spot marking, stealth mode, usage logging, local data storage for privacy, and regular updates. Subscription fee for the app €44.95 per year.

Safety and Reliability: The system incorporates automatic return-to-start functionality in case of signal loss or low battery and is specifically designed for Navigator and Navigator Mini bait boats. The document concludes by emphasizing the system's precision, reliability, advanced features, and real-time monitoring capabilities offered via a user-friendly mobile app.
