I am curious if there are any other Daysailer sailors out there that are also Raspberry Pi hackers. http://www.raspberrypi.org/ The Raspberry Pi is a small ARM-based computer board that costs about $35 and runs linux. It was developed to teach kids about programming and electronics.
If I get some time this summer, I have been thinking about home brewing some instrumentation for my DSII with the Raspberry Pi. I know that many people on this forum like the simplicity of telltales and breeze on the face methods. I prefer to sail that way too, but think that this might be a fun intersection of my low-tech and high-tech interests.
I will report back if I actually move my ideas beyond my head.
David.
