dAISy HAT - AIS Receiver for Raspberry Pi

For dAISy HAT - AIS Receiver for Raspberry Pi

Great product for tracking ships. Easily installed. Used it on a recent ocean cruise to track the ship I was on and those nearby.

Product issue: Wished that some of the serial pins were brought out from the daughter board. I want to connect some other devices and it looks like I'll be soldering.

Documentation issue: It told me to connect to /dev/serial0 when in fact it connected to /dev/TTYs0. (Latest Raspian Jessie on a new RPI 3)

Response from Wegmatt LLC | Nov. 26, 2018

Thank you for the review and your detailed feedback.

I don't populate the broken out serial interface (I2C, UART) to avoid conflicts with enclosures. A GPIO shim may be useful if you don't want to solder on the HAT. But as mentioned, soldering directly on the dAISy HAT won't void the warranty. I'm happy to see my customers experiment and hack. :-)

The UART situation on the Raspberry Pi 3 is a bit complicated. /dev/serial0 refers to the primary UART, which when using the shell script mentioned in the documentation, is an alias for /dev/ttyAMA0. /dev/ttyS0 is the mini-UART which may show timing issues depending on clock configuration of the RPi.

dAISy is easy to install, low cost, and works great

For dAISy HAT - AIS Receiver for Raspberry Pi

My purpose for dAISy Hat was to set up a feed for AISHUB, the open data AIS source. I used their dedicated distribution, rPiAIS, that contains all the software to receive, process, and monitor AIS data. The combination of this distribution and dAISy worked straight away, also thanks to the clear configuration documentation. The whole system was operational in less than a day and the performance is good. Shipping took more than two week, mainly due to Dutch customs.

Great product

For dAISy 2+ dual-channel AIS Receiver with NMEA 0183

. Worked straight out of the box, picked up ships as far away as 16nm, using a telescopic emergency vhf antenna taped to the boathook, about 3m above the water, so I expect very good range when it is properly installed with a good antenna.

I have experience with a comparable product from Adrian's competitor in this segment of the AIS market, and the operation of the product plus his rapid communication beats them hands down.

Simply works

For dAISy 2+ dual-channel AIS Receiver with NMEA 0183

Tested using usb on a laptop with a low grade VHF antenna and it worked flawlessly first time.

Looking forward to wiring it into the NMEA Navnet when our boat is next alongside.

Great little Receiver.

For dAISy AIS Receiver

Get great AIS reception from this little box connected to lap top. Easy to hook up and quickly ID's boats. Helps spot the shrimp boats in the Gulf before we head out to go fishing.
