Ok, I am probably way in over my head, but here goes.
I am in the midst of buying stuff for my RC-boat, which is planned to have a few more features than a regular RC-boat. It will be equipped with an Curiosity HPC, two thrusters, wind and direction sensor (made two myself, couldn't find the right fit), gyroscope and a GPS.
The idea is to make an auto-heading function, so the boat is automatically keeping it's course, adjusting the thrusters to keep on track, if there is some side wind.
Now, what is the best way to communicate with the boat from land? I was thinking Bluetooth, what would I need to buy to get this up and running? HC-06? mikroBUS Click BT module (quite expensive)? I also need something to hook up to my computer, right?
In time, my plan is to also be able to direct the boat via GPS. Like, "move 5 meters starboard and hold". But I will probably need some experience before that.
I don't have any schematics to show, as I haven't gotten that far yet. Would like to get a hold on the needed parts, as it takes ages to deliver to my country.
