We're happy to be:

  • Not hard hardware Have you got so many NMEA instruments that linking them together causes problems with degraded signals? Have you discovered that the typical GPS will not drive more than three or four instruments? If so you need a buffer. In the shops these are typically £50 while you could make ours for a tenner! Have you got a gas alarm? We show you how to make a cheap gas alarm using pre-calibrated components from RS and a kit from Maplin. What about trickle charging your batteries? It's easy to link them all together but that means a fault on one will drain the rest, we can show you how to stop the drain. Or, if you have more advanced skill, how about a fridge from a Peltier (TEC) device, or an Engine Monitor System?


    Dolphins
    Just plain fun Fun is good, fun is nice, do you want to listen for dolphins? I don't know if the hydrophone project will catch them singing because we've never been in the right place at the right time to try; but I know it detects ship and boat propellors and it's fun! We show you how to put together a couple of Maplin amplifiers to make a hydrophone.
    Fun Projects
    Software for all If you use the Admiralty RYA Chart Plotter you may have been frustrated to find you cannot upload the waypoints you create to your GPS. GPSWPUpload is a new utility which has all the functions you need to upload and download waypoints from the Admiralty Plotter to a GPS using the Garmin protocol.

    Stuck in a port with nothing to do to amuse the kids and yourselves? Stepping Stones is a wondeful little game full of challenges and surprises. Written as an educational game it is also superb as a general knowledge quiz; and since you can write your own questions and answers, it can occupy you on many different levels. Or try Bingo our simple little program that scrambles a list of questions and answers; or simply bingo numbers and rhyming calls.

    If you are travelling you are likely to need all your bank, credit card details, logon details; and so on to travel with you. This needs everything wrapped up in an encrypted, portable file which is something your browser and operating system cannot supply for you. NetXPasswords allows you to manage the lot in a personal, portable but totally secure way. For other personal files that you don't want to be looked at we offer a file encryption program CrytptAFile which will securely wrap up any sort of computer file.

    If you're down below and the wind is howling above isn't it nice to watch the windspeed in relative comfort without venturing out? Our boat has an internal helm position but no wind repeater so this program takes the wind instrument NMEA output and displays it in different formats on the laptop screen.

    Finally, if you're a pilot you might like our simple VFR Flight Planner that solves your vectors with a lot less effort than with the circular slide rule, and gives you a nicely printed flight plan for your clipboard.
    Software Solutions
    Send your ideas We are always keen to try new projects so if you have a problem you can't solve why not get in touch and see if you can arouse our interest. Would you like a program written? If it is likely to be of general interest we could well be interested in taking it on. How about PIC code? Or a webpage or a whole website? We're well qualified to take on both private and commercial work and we cost our time appropriately.

    David Berry on Royalist

    David Berry spent thirty years as a systems engineer in the defence industry working latterly on hardware and software integration projects, such as simulators. Somewhere along the way he spent a year designing cooling systems for communications equipment, and has degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science. Successful enough to retire at age 55 he has since put his talents into writing software and creating hardware to support his long time hobby of sailing. Ann and David own a Moody Eclipse which now bristles with electronic goodies. In a bid to bring some of these solutions to a wider audience SeaSolutions was launched in early 2006.
