PILOT PRO brings together <strong>precision navigation, configurable boat control, sonar, live bathymetry, 3D underwater mapping, cameras, voice control, modular accessories and multi-band communications<\/strong> within one integrated system.<\/p>\n<p>At the centre of the PRO platform is a <strong>dedicated Fishing Fortune controller developed specifically for ETERNITY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>DEDICATED ETERNITY PILOT PRO CONTROLLER<\/h1>\n<p>Unlike PILOT BASIC, which is designed around smartphone operation, <strong>PILOT PRO uses its own dedicated Fishing Fortune controller<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The controller is being designed specifically around the requirements of bait boats rather than adapting a generic RC transmitter.<\/p>\n<p>Planned functions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Integrated display<\/li>\n<li>Physical joystick control<\/li>\n<li>Touchscreen interface<\/li>\n<li>Dedicated boat-function controls<\/li>\n<li>Navigation and map display<\/li>\n<li>Sonar display<\/li>\n<li>Bathymetry<\/li>\n<li>3D LIVE<\/li>\n<li>Camera display<\/li>\n<li>Routes and waypoints<\/li>\n<li>Saved fishing spots<\/li>\n<li>Full-screen operation<\/li>\n<li>Split-screen operation<\/li>\n<li>Voice control<\/li>\n<li>Spoken system feedback<\/li>\n<li>Configurable interface<\/li>\n<li>Online software and firmware updates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The objective is to provide physical control when required while retaining a modern touchscreen interface for navigation, sonar and advanced functions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>ADVANCED AUTOPILOT<\/h1>\n<p>ETERNITY PILOT PRO is designed to automate both navigation and bait-boat operations.<\/p>\n<p>Core navigation functions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Manual control<\/li>\n<li>Autopilot navigation<\/li>\n<li>Go Home<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to saved spot<\/li>\n<li>Multi-waypoint routes<\/li>\n<li>Route creation<\/li>\n<li>Route editing<\/li>\n<li>Route saving<\/li>\n<li>Repeatable routes<\/li>\n<li>Boat position<\/li>\n<li>Heading<\/li>\n<li>Speed<\/li>\n<li>Distance to target<\/li>\n<li>Distance to Home<\/li>\n<li>GPS status<\/li>\n<li>Radio-link information<\/li>\n<li>Battery information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The system is intended to allow the user to create complete fishing missions rather than simply driving from point A to point B.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>FULLY PROGRAMMABLE WAYPOINTS<\/h1>\n<p>A waypoint in ETERNITY PILOT PRO is not simply a GPS coordinate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Every waypoint can be configured individually.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A waypoint can define both navigation behaviour and boat actions.<\/p>\n<p>Possible waypoint parameters can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>GPS position<\/li>\n<li>Arrival radius<\/li>\n<li>Boat speed<\/li>\n<li>Stop at point<\/li>\n<li>Wait for a defined time<\/li>\n<li>Continue automatically<\/li>\n<li>Open Left Hopper<\/li>\n<li>Open Right Hopper<\/li>\n<li>Activate Spreader<\/li>\n<li>Release Hook<\/li>\n<li>Switch lights<\/li>\n<li>Change RGB lighting<\/li>\n<li>Trigger auxiliary channel<\/li>\n<li>Trigger servo mechanism<\/li>\n<li>Start sonar recording<\/li>\n<li>Stop sonar recording<\/li>\n<li>Execute supported camera action<\/li>\n<li>Continue to next waypoint<\/li>\n<li>Return Home<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A programmed route could therefore operate like this:<\/p>\n<div>\n<pre dir=\"ltr\"><code>HOME\r\n \u2193\r\nWAYPOINT 1\r\nNavigate at selected speed\r\n \u2193\r\nWAYPOINT 2\r\nStop\r\nOpen Left Hopper\r\nWait 5 seconds\r\n \u2193\r\nWAYPOINT 3\r\nSlow scan\r\nRecord sonar\r\n \u2193\r\nWAYPOINT 4\r\nOpen Right Hopper\r\n \u2193\r\nWAYPOINT 5\r\nRelease Hook\r\n \u2193\r\nRETURN HOME<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>This allows ETERNITY PILOT PRO to automate an entire bait-placement sequence.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>AREA SCANNING<\/h1>\n<p>PILOT PRO is designed to work together with <strong>MULTIVISION V3<\/strong> for systematic underwater scanning.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of manually driving randomly across an area, the user can create a survey pattern.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<div>\n<pre dir=\"ltr\"><code>\u2192 \u2192 \u2192 \u2192 \u2192 \u2192\r\n\u2190 \u2190 \u2190 \u2190 \u2190 \u2190\r\n\u2192 \u2192 \u2192 \u2192 \u2192 \u2192\r\n\u2190 \u2190 \u2190 \u2190 \u2190 \u2190<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>The boat follows parallel scan lines while sonar and GPS data are collected.<\/p>\n<p>This can be used to identify:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Drop-offs<\/li>\n<li>Channels<\/li>\n<li>Plateaus<\/li>\n<li>Shelves<\/li>\n<li>Underwater structure<\/li>\n<li>Depth transitions<\/li>\n<li>Potential fish-holding areas<\/li>\n<li>Previously unknown bottom features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The collected data can then be converted into bathymetric information and saved for later fishing sessions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>LIVE BATHYMETRY<\/h1>\n<p>With MULTIVISION V3 connected, <strong>ETERNITY PILOT PRO can build bathymetric maps from real measurements collected by the user&#8217;s own boat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>GPS position and sonar depth information are combined while the boat moves.<\/p>\n<p>Planned bathymetry functions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Live bathymetric scanning<\/li>\n<li>GPS-linked depth measurements<\/li>\n<li>Colour-coded depth tiles<\/li>\n<li>Bottom contours<\/li>\n<li>Shallow\/deep visualisation<\/li>\n<li>Scanned-area history<\/li>\n<li>Previously surveyed areas<\/li>\n<li>Repeated scans<\/li>\n<li>Bathymetry saved for future sessions<\/li>\n<li>Integration with routes<\/li>\n<li>Integration with fishing spots<\/li>\n<li>2D and 3D underwater representation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rather than relying only on existing map information, the angler can progressively create a <strong>personal underwater map of the fishing venue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>SAVE SPOTS DIRECTLY FROM UNDERWATER DATA<\/h1>\n<p>One of the core ETERNITY concepts is that interesting underwater features can immediately become navigation targets.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>SPOT<\/strong> can be created directly from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Standard map<\/li>\n<li>200 kHz sonar echogram<\/li>\n<li>Bathymetry tiles<\/li>\n<li>3D LIVE<\/li>\n<li>Scanned underwater structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>See a drop-off on the bathymetric map:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tap \u2192 SAVE SPOT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>See an interesting return on the echogram:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tap \u2192 SAVE SPOT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Find a structure in 3D LIVE:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Select \u2192 SAVE SPOT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The GPS location becomes available to the autopilot for later navigation.<\/p>\n<p>This allows the complete workflow:<\/p>\n<p><strong>SCAN \u2192 FIND \u2192 SAVE \u2192 RETURN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>without manually transferring coordinates between different systems.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>MULTIVISION V3 INTEGRATION<\/h1>\n<p>ETERNITY PILOT PRO is designed for full integration with the <strong>Fishing Fortune MULTIVISION V3 sonar platform<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>200 kHz SONAR<\/h2>\n<p>The standard MULTIVISION V3 sonar provides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Real-time echogram<\/li>\n<li>200 kHz sonar<\/li>\n<li>A-Scope<\/li>\n<li>Depth<\/li>\n<li>Automatic depth range<\/li>\n<li>Manual depth range<\/li>\n<li>Auto Depth<\/li>\n<li>Adjustable sensitivity<\/li>\n<li>Multiple colour palettes<\/li>\n<li>Fish and target detection<\/li>\n<li>Bottom structure<\/li>\n<li>GPS-linked sonar data<\/li>\n<li>Sonar recording and playback<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The 200 kHz sonar is the main conventional sonar mode.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>DOWN SCAN<\/h1>\n<p><strong>DOWN SCAN<\/strong> is planned as an additional imaging mode using a separate dedicated transducer\/sensor system.<\/p>\n<p>It can provide a more detailed representation directly beneath the bait boat.<\/p>\n<p>Useful for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bottom structure<\/li>\n<li>Vegetation<\/li>\n<li>Branches<\/li>\n<li>Submerged objects<\/li>\n<li>Structure separation<\/li>\n<li>Fish close to structure<\/li>\n<li>Detailed underwater features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>SIDE SCAN<\/h1>\n<p><strong>SIDE SCAN<\/strong> will also use a dedicated additional transducer\/sensor system.<\/p>\n<p>It is intended to scan a wider underwater area to either side of the bait boat.<\/p>\n<p>Possible uses include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Searching large areas<\/li>\n<li>Detecting structure away from the boat<\/li>\n<li>Finding underwater channels<\/li>\n<li>Finding drop-offs<\/li>\n<li>Locating submerged objects<\/li>\n<li>Surveying areas without travelling directly over every feature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>3D LIVE<\/h1>\n<p><strong>3D LIVE<\/strong> combines sonar data, GPS positioning and boat movement to create a spatial representation of the underwater environment.<\/p>\n<p>Planned functions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3D bottom representation<\/li>\n<li>Live boat position<\/li>\n<li>Depth information<\/li>\n<li>Underwater structure<\/li>\n<li>Target positioning<\/li>\n<li>Previously scanned areas<\/li>\n<li>GPS-linked underwater data<\/li>\n<li>Interactive 3D navigation<\/li>\n<li>Direct SPOT creation from the 3D view<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The user can inspect an underwater feature and immediately save it as a future navigation point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ONLINE &amp; OFFLINE MAPPING<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Standard maps, downloadable offline maps, online satellite imagery, bathymetry and 3D underwater mapping \u2014 all within the same navigation system.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>MODULAR GPS \/ GNSS<\/h1>\n<p>ETERNITY PILOT PRO is being designed around a <strong>modular GNSS architecture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Different compatible positioning modules can be used depending on the required level of performance.<\/p>\n<p>Supported configurations are planned to include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Standard GPS\/GNSS<\/li>\n<li>Multi-constellation GNSS<\/li>\n<li>Higher-performance GNSS receivers<\/li>\n<li><strong>RTK-ready GNSS modules<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This allows the system to evolve without requiring an entirely new autopilot board.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>RTK-READY POSITIONING<\/h1>\n<p>With a compatible RTK GNSS module and correction source, ETERNITY PILOT can support much more precise positioning than conventional standalone GNSS.<\/p>\n<p>Potential applications include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Returning to a precise bait location<\/li>\n<li>Returning to previously scanned underwater structure<\/li>\n<li>Repeating survey lines<\/li>\n<li>Precise waypoint navigation<\/li>\n<li>Repeating a route during a later fishing session<\/li>\n<li>Accurate bathymetric positioning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>RTK operation depends on the installed GNSS hardware and availability of suitable correction data.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>BUILT-IN ODOMETER<\/h1>\n<p>The PILOT system includes its own odometer functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Planned information includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Current trip distance<\/li>\n<li>Fishing-session distance<\/li>\n<li>Route distance<\/li>\n<li>Total boat distance<\/li>\n<li>Lifetime travelled distance<\/li>\n<li>Usage statistics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The odometer is maintained by the PILOT itself rather than depending solely on the mobile device or controller.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>16 CONFIGURABLE CONTROL CHANNELS<\/h1>\n<p>ETERNITY PILOT PRO is designed around an expandable <strong>16-channel architecture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These channels can be assigned according to the hardware installed in the individual bait boat.<\/p>\n<p>Possible assignments include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Left Hopper<\/li>\n<li>Right Hopper<\/li>\n<li>Hook Release<\/li>\n<li>Spreader<\/li>\n<li>Main Lights<\/li>\n<li>Navigation Lights<\/li>\n<li>RGB Lighting<\/li>\n<li>Front Camera<\/li>\n<li>Rear Camera<\/li>\n<li>Underwater Camera<\/li>\n<li>Second Underwater Camera<\/li>\n<li>Camera Pan<\/li>\n<li>Camera Tilt<\/li>\n<li>Camera Rotation<\/li>\n<li>Additional Servo<\/li>\n<li>Custom Accessory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The same autopilot can therefore be configured for a simple two-hopper boat or a highly customised multi-function bait boat.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>CUSTOM BOAT INTERFACE<\/h1>\n<p>One of the most distinctive ETERNITY PILOT features is the ability to build a control interface around the <strong>user&#8217;s actual boat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The user can upload a photo or image of their own bait boat.<\/p>\n<p>That image can then become an interactive control panel.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<div>\n<pre dir=\"ltr\"><code>           FRONT LIGHT\r\n\r\n     CAMERA        CAMERA\r\n\r\n HOPPER L          HOPPER R\r\n\r\n    HOOK          SPREADER\r\n\r\n             RGB<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>Buttons can be positioned directly over the corresponding parts of the photograph.<\/p>\n<p>the user simply taps the relevant part of their own boat.<\/p>\n<div>\n<pre dir=\"ltr\"><code><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>CUSTOM CONTROLS<\/h1>\n<p>The interface can be configured according to the installed accessories.<\/p>\n<p>The user can

action<\/li>\n<li>Servo movement<\/li>\n<li>Camera movement<\/li>\n<li>RGB function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This makes the same app\/controller suitable for many different bait-boat layouts.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>RGB LIGHTING CONTROL<\/h1>\n<p>ETERNITY PILOT PRO can support integrated RGB lighting control.<\/p>\n<p>Functions can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Colour selection<\/li>\n<li>Brightness<\/li>\n<li>Presets<\/li>\n<li>Navigation colours<\/li>\n<li>Status indication<\/li>\n<li>Custom lighting modes<\/li>\n<li>Channel-controlled lighting<\/li>\n<li>Waypoint-triggered lighting actions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>RGB functions can also appear directly on the custom boat image.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>CAMERA SYSTEM<\/h1>\n<p>PILOT PRO is designed for extensive camera integration.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on installed hardware, the system can support:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Front camera<\/li>\n<li>Rear camera<\/li>\n<li>Underwater camera<\/li>\n<li>Second underwater camera<\/li>\n<li>Camera switching<\/li>\n<li>Camera power<\/li>\n<li>Camera recording<\/li>\n<li>Live camera

hardware<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Camera-control commands require very little bandwidth and remain part of the PILOT control system.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>MULTI-BAND COMMUNICATION<\/h1>\n<p>The full ETERNITY architecture is designed around multiple communication layers.<\/p>\n<h2>SUB-GHz<\/h2>\n<p>Intended for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Long-range control<\/li>\n<li>Critical commands<\/li>\n<li>Telemetry<\/li>\n<li>Failsafe communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2.4 GHz<\/h2>\n<p>Intended for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Higher-speed data<\/li>\n<li>Sonar

streams<\/li>\n<li>High-bandwidth IP data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The exact frequencies and transmit power available will depend on the regulatory region.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>REGIONAL RADIO PROFILES<\/h1>\n<p>ETERNITY PILOT is planned to use regional radio profiles rather than allowing unrestricted RF settings.<\/p>\n<p>A selected or automatically determined region can configure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Allowed frequencies<\/li>\n<li>Transmit power<\/li>\n<li>Channel bandwidth<\/li>\n<li>Permitted radio modes<\/li>\n<li>Duty-cycle requirements<\/li>\n<li>Spectrum-access requirements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This allows the same hardware platform to support different markets while keeping the radio configuration within the permitted regional profile.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>VOICE CONTROL<\/h1>\n<p>ETERNITY PILOT PRO is planned to support optional <strong>voice control<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Possible commands include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go Home<\/li>\n<li>Start Autopilot<\/li>\n<li>Stop Autopilot<\/li>\n<li>Start Route<\/li>\n<li>Pause Route<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to Spot<\/li>\n<li>Save Spot<\/li>\n<li>Open Left Hopper<\/li>\n<li>Open Right

phrases can also be mapped to configurable functions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>VOICE CONFIRMATION<\/h1>\n<p>For significant actions, confirmation can be required.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p><strong>User:<\/strong> \u201cGo Home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>PILOT:<\/strong> \u201cConfirm Go Home?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>User:<\/strong> \u201cConfirm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The command is then transmitted to the boat.<\/p>\n<p>This reduces the chance of accidental execution of critical actions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>SPOKEN SYSTEM FEEDBACK<\/h1>\n<p>ETERNITY PILOT PRO can also provide optional spoken status information.<\/p>\n<p>Examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cAutopilot engaged.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAutopilot stopped.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWaypoint

the underwater depth structure created from your own sonar scans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SPOTS<\/strong><br \/>\nshow previously discovered fishing locations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ROUTES<\/strong><br \/>\nshow the planned bait-boat path.<\/p>\n<p>This gives the angler both the surface and underwater picture of the same fishing area.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>MAP OVERLAYS<\/h1>\n<p>ETERNITY PILOT can combine
