User Manual

Hardware version

WTI400 v1.2 — In service on the test vessel (~1,000 sea miles), running a simple PlatformIO/Arduino firmware that emits NMEA 2000 wind sentences.

The User Manual covers the operator-facing workflow of the WTI400 — installation, transducer wiring, IMU calibration, status LED and button operation, and troubleshooting.

Coming soon

The operator manual for the WTI400 V1.2 is not yet available.

The WTI400 is in service today, running a simple PlatformIO/Arduino firmware that emits NMEA 2000 wind sentences. Its operator-facing behaviour exists and works in the field; what is pending is a documentation pass of the in-service workflow — installation, transducer wiring, IMU calibration, status LED and button operation, and troubleshooting.

The WTI400's local UI is a single RGB LED + tactile button on the front face. The red channel lights by default at power-on as a power-good indicator, before firmware initialises; firmware then drives the three colour channels to signal device state and respond to button input. The planned Status LED and Fault-finding pages below will cover how to read it; see LED Indicator in the Circuit Design section for the full hardware behaviour.

This section will be published once the in-service operator workflow has been documented. For the installed-firmware status and the planned production ESP-IDF migration, see the Firmware section and the Tasks page.

Planned pageWhat it will cover
Quick StartConnect to the NMEA 2000 backbone, attach the wind transducer, power on
InstallationMounting, transducer wiring at the six quick-connect tabs, JP1 supply-setpoint selection
CalibrationIMU heel/pitch reference setup and wind ADC limits / midpoint scheme
Status LEDWhat the RGB indicator colours mean and how the button responds
Common PitfallsMistakes to avoid during installation and use
Fault-findingReading the front-face RGB status LED and other on-unit checks to diagnose a fault
