Every now and then we come across a seaborne Raspberry Pi project that gets us excited, and today is one of those days. Maker and developer Ramin Sangesari is using our favorite microcontroller, the Raspberry Pi Pico W, along with a Wukong 2040 to power a WiFi-operated toy boat.
The project is built upon a plastic toy boat purchased at a local store, but Sangesari assures that any plastic toy boat should suffice or anything that can float like a piece of foam. It locomotes thanks to a fan that receives control commands from a Pico W that’s connected to the Wukong2040. If you haven’t heard of this board before, you might want to check out our Wukong 2040 review. This board makes it easier to control multiple servos, is Lego compatible and has space for an 18650 battery.
