The Selkirk Marine Museum] asked us to set up a display about Range Lights, maritime navigation aids that help a vessel stay in a channel. We set up an Interactive Display that uses an Arduino to detect the movement of a ship's wheel, which lets the user control a display created in Pygame on a Raspberry Pi that simulates
steering a ship to bring it in line with a set of range lights.
The museum provided an antique ship's wheel for this. We designed, 3d printed and integrated the hall sensors into the wheel to measure the wheel movement via quadrature encoding. We also provided the graphics and video components for the game.
