MPPT
Solar charging via MPPT — maximum power point tracking. Custom-designed for the small batteries used in solar WII buoys, because nothing off-the-shelf fit.
Sensors
Sensors carried by WII5 buoys — power, navigation, motion, environment, imaging.
Categories:
The sensor catalog. Not every buoy variant carries every sensor — see the buoy types for which sensors ship with which build.
- MPPT — solar charging.
- GPS — position and directional heading.
- Kistler — high-precision accelerometer.
- IMU — inertial measurement.
- Temperature — water and internal temperature sensors.
- Anemometer — wind speed and direction.
- Cameras — visual deployment / surface imaging.
