The overlay pilot software for Exocet Silver is an advanced software solution designed to optimize navigation and autopilot performance on racing sailboats. It is a module that integrates with Pixel sur Mer's Exocet Silver system, adding an artificial intelligence layer for real-time data analysis and proactive performance management.

The 'pilot overlay' refers to a software module that enhances the Exocet Silver autopilot system's capabilities. It does not replace the existing autopilot (such as a B&G H5000) but acts as an expert system interfacing with it. It processes and analyzes complex data to provide optimized instructions, thereby improving the boat's trajectory and performance.

The Exocet Silver overlay software provides key features for performance optimization, including:

Smart sensor management for navigation, with real-time monitoring and proactive failure handling.A sophisticated algorithm for precise true wind calculation, integrating boat drift estimation.Advanced steering system that optimizes the trajectory in real time using predictive analysis.Detailed performance analysis to extract relevant metrics and refine offshore strategy.

Yes, starting from version EXOCET_2025-06_002-03, an activation key is required to use the Exocet software. To obtain it, it is recommended to contact the sales department of Pixel sur Mer.

The Exocet Silver overlay autopilot software is designed to interface with existing autopilot controllers. It is specifically noted to interact with systems such as the B&G H5000, enhancing its functions with embedded intelligence for improved performance.

Yes, the software features intelligent sensor management for navigation. It provides real-time monitoring and proactive failure management of sensors, ensuring continuous reliability of data used for autopilot and performance analysis.

Yes, the system includes a WebApp for viewing performance data and configuring certain parameters. This WebApp provides customizable dashboards with various widgets, such as circular gauges, charts, and data tables, and also allows data overlay and color-coding for improved analysis.

The software uses a sophisticated algorithm to calculate true wind with precision. This calculation incorporates the boat's leeway estimation, enabling immediate and accurate strategic adjustments based on encountered weather conditions.

Yes, the Exocet Silver overlay software provides data recording and analysis capabilities. Via the WebApp, you can perform simultaneous actions on multiple recording files. The system is designed for detailed performance analysis, allowing sailors to extract relevant metrics to optimize efficiency and strategy at sea.

Yes, the Exocet Silver overlay software includes advanced capabilities. It features a 'Python box' within the Manta framework, which includes an 'AI prompt'. This suggests the ability to use Python scripts for custom features and the integration of artificial intelligence for deeper analysis and optimization.

The Exocet Silver software, along with its modules called 'Manta boxes', can be updated. Firmware and release notes are available to facilitate this process. It is important to review these 'Release Notes' as some may require replacing or updating specific 'N2K boxes' in the Manta graph due to compatibility changes.

The Exocet Silver software supports a wide range of protocols and integrates with multiple external systems. It specifically supports:

Standard navigation protocols such as NMEA 2000 (N2k) and NMEA 0183 for encoding and decoding data frames. AIS data for encoding and decoding. GoFree and Expedition interfaces (input and output). Network connectivity via TCP and WebSockets (WS) for sending and receiving data. Brand displays such as B&G and Garmin with inputs for dynamic settings. Support for specific sensors like Nortek Nucleus. Integrations with services like HTTP and Telegram.

Yes, the Exocet Silver software offers extensive customization options. You can:

Change measurement units via the Calibration box user controls and use the set_unit() function in the Expression box.Customize the WebApp dashboards by overlaying and coloring widgets, and using various widget types such as circular gauges or trend graphs.The B&G and Garmin displays can also receive dynamic settings via the software.

Yes, Pixel sur Mer’s technical documents mention 'Exocet Blue Firmwares,' indicating the existence of an 'Exocet Blue' version in addition to the 'Exocet Silver' system for which this autopilot overlay is designed.

The "Manta boxes" system refers to the modular and configurable software overlay architecture for Exocet Silver. It consists of individual software components, called "boxes", each designed to perform a specific function within the system.

These boxes can be visually interconnected to form a "Manta graph", allowing users to customize and optimize the software's behavior according to their needs. Manta boxes cover a wide range of functionalities, including:

Management and acquisition of data from various sensors (e.g., Nortek, AHRS).Processing, calibration, and analysis of navigation data (e.g., Calibration, MovingMean, Expression).Communication with other onboard equipment and systems (e.g., N2k, nmea0183, H5000_Pilot, TCP, WS, GoFree, Expedition).Advanced functions for autopilot, performance regulation, and safety (e.g., RegulationPerformance, FailSafe, TargetManager, CollisionAvoidance).Interfaces for displaying data on external screens (e.g., DisplayB&G, DisplayGarmin) and scripting capabilities (e.g., Python).This modular approach provides high flexibility to adapt the software to specific vessel configurations and navigation strategies.
