What it does

We wrote prototype code for a system that allows a user to steer a Sonar-class boat using either a sip'n'puff system or a joystick. You can switch the mode using a hardware switch mounted on the board. Depending on which controller you choose, the code either converts pressure to velocity or X position of the joystick to velocity. This enables people with limited mobility to steer the boat.

Required hardware: Arduino Board, Stepper motor, Pressure sensor, Switch, Jumpers

TODOs: Bluetooth communication between sensors Add sensors that will be used (not known yet)

TODO Hardware: Two cells to sense the tension

Stepper motor Driver Bluetooth transimtters
