Ariadnen moottori käy
Ariadnen OM636 kävi ensimmäisen kerran kesäloman viimeisellä viikolla kaikkien vastoinkäymisten jälkeen.

Ariadne's first Arduino-project
Started a monitoring project for Ariadne. I want to monitor some stuff from Ariadne, remotely which would be nice. Plan is to use Arduino to measure some voltages, few current values, bilge water level and shore power. Basic functionality seems to work, and results end up to my server. More story when I got the […]

Keel underside paint removal
When the Ariadne was launched in the spring, one of the shipyard workers threw in the idea of leaving Ariadne on the wagon for the weekend to get the bottom of the keel cleaned in autumn. Namely, it needed at least the removal of numerous layers of paint, as it has always seemed to be […]
