Configuration

The public instructions for configuration files here apply to base station and rovers. Specific configurations are either published here, or on Basecamp.

Basics

To make changes to the config.ini file – references throughout this document – remove the device’s bung and connect it to your PC using the supplied micro USB cable. In the folder structure on the SD card, you will find a config.ini file. You can keep copies of the config file on the SD card by placing them in folders or renaming them.

Cell connection

YachtBot devices typically take less than a minute to connect to the cell phone network when powered up. If you have problems, start with the troubleshooting guidelines for SIM cards. Most commonly, the APN, username, and password need to be set to the carrier specific values in the config file.

#cell apn <apn>
#cell user <username>
#cell pass <password>
