Detailed description
Detailed description
The MADINTEC MAD wired remote control (MADRemote) is an essential component of the MADBrain autopilot system, designed to provide direct and reliable control. Derived from MADINTEC’s expertise in offshore racing, this remote enables intuitive interaction with the MADBrain Autopilot system, renowned for its advanced artificial intelligence algorithms and its ability to centralize navigation data.
Intuitive control and full integration
The MADRemote wired remote provides complete control of the MADBrain autopilot with a simplified "1 click = 1 action" interface. This design makes it easy to activate steering modes (heading, true wind, polar) and execute common maneuvers such as tacks and jibes quickly. Unlike wireless remotes, which can be prone to interference, this model’s 8-meter wired connection ensures constant, low-latency communication—critical in demanding offshore situations. It also enables activation of advanced "Super-Pilot" modes for enhanced performance and safety, a feature specific to the MADBrain system.
Synergy with the MADBrain system
This device integrates seamlessly with the MADBrain ecosystem, connecting directly to the MAD Interface Digital. The MADBrain, a central navigation processor, manages high-resolution data acquisition (up to 50 Hz), AI-driven analysis of boat movements and wind, and integration via CAN bus, Ethernet, and Serial. While brands like B&G or Garmin offer their own remotes (e.g., B&G WR10, Garmin GRID) dedicated to their MFDs and autopilots, the MADRemote stands out for its deep integration with the embedded intelligence of the MADBrain, offering an optimized level of control for peak performance. It leverages the proven reliability of the MADBrain system, widely adopted on racing sailboats (IMOCA, Class40, Ultim) and now accessible for a wide range of cruising or race-cruise boats.
Positioning and technical advantages
Manufactured in France, this wired remote represents a strategic choice for sailors seeking maximum reliability and precise control of their autopilot. Its ergonomic design allows flexible installation in the cockpit, ensuring the control is always within reach. The MADRemote wired remote is a robust and high-performance solution, a legacy of MADINTEC’s high-level software engineering and offshore racing experience, guaranteeing exceptional responsiveness and route stability for the MADBrain autopilot.
