MAD Brain Box procesor de navigație

The MAD Brain Box is an advanced navigation processor, designed to be the core of your onboard electronic system. It centralizes and enhances all your electronic data, converting raw data into fast, accurate, and relevant decisions through its artificial intelligence algorithms.

The MAD Brain Box offers several key benefits:

Performance improvement: With its AI and ultra-precise data acquisition, it guarantees unmatched course stability.Enhanced safety: It adapts to each boat's behavior, providing superior control even in extreme conditions.Increased reliability: It ensures smooth and precise course holding, reacting instantly to wind, swell, or boat behavior changes.Reduced consumption: The steering system is less stressed, lowering energy consumption.

The MAD Brain Box processes data in real time with high precision thanks to its artificial intelligence algorithms. It reacts instantly to wind, swell, or boat behavior variations by applying subtle corrections that prevent any overreaction. Each helm movement is optimized to ensure stability and control.

The MAD Brain Box can capture and process a wide range of data with exceptional resolution, including:

Boat movements (via its inertial measurement unit). Wind data (with high-frequency acquisition up to 50 Hz). Boat attitude to anticipate trajectories.

Yes, the MAD Brain Box evolves continuously. It logs your sailing sessions, learns from your settings, and adapts its behavior to your boat and sailing style, acting like an experienced crew member.

The MAD Brain Box Autopilot offers three main steering modes:

True wind steering.Heading steering.Polar steering.

The Heel Security Pack is an exclusive safety feature that enhances your boat's safety against gusts. It automatically corrects excessive heel by adjusting the course (by luffing or bearing away) before reaching a critical angle. This progressive and smooth action keeps the boat stable and secure.

The Elite Performance Pack is a major advance in autopilot intelligence. With this pack, the MAD Brain Box doesn't just follow the route—it attacks. It steers like a true regatta racer, actively seeking maximum speed and adjusting every movement to fully exploit your boat's potential.

The MADController is the actuator's power unit. It is designed to control any electric or hydraulic actuator, whether linear or rotary. It provides high-frequency control (100 Hz) and rudder positioning to the nearest tenth of a degree, and is compatible with 12/24V.

The MAD Brain Box features high-level software engineering with automatic sensor failure management, ensuring enhanced continuity and reliability of the navigation system.

Yes, the MAD Brain Box is a product designed and manufactured in France, highlighting the excellence of marine electronics.

The MAD Brain Box, via its MADMast module, enables high-frequency wind data acquisition, up to 50 Hz.

Yes, the MAD Brain Box is designed for native integration with the NMEA 2000 network. It is compatible with major brands on the market and uses standard sensors and displays, making it easy to integrate into an existing electronic setup.

Yes, the MADController is versatile. It can control any electric or hydraulic cylinder and is compatible with linear or rotary actuators, providing high flexibility for integration into your steering system.

The MADMast module is compatible with ultrasonic sensors and features an interface for passive mast angle sensors (potentiometric) or active mast angle sensors (0–5 V). It also uses a wind sensor interface in NMEA 0183.

The MAD Brain Box integrates easily thanks to its extended connectivity. It connects via CAN, Ethernet, and Serial buses, and installation is plug & play via the NMEA 2000 CAN bus, enabling straightforward connection with existing equipment.

The MAD Brain Box autopilot is activated and controlled from your navigation displays. The MADLight app simplifies operation with a clear and intuitive interface, allowing you to switch modes, adjust settings, monitor sensors, or take manual control of the helm in a few gestures.

The MAD Brain Box is more than just an autopilot; it is an advanced navigation processor designed to centralize and optimize all electronic data on your sailboat. It captures boat movements and wind data with exceptional resolution, then interprets them in real time using its artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.

Its main functions include:

High-resolution data acquisition (up to 50 Hz for wind). AI-driven analysis and processing of information for rapid and precise decisions. Integration via CAN bus, Ethernet, and Serial for extended connectivity. Continuous learning from your navigations and adaptation to your boat’s behavior and your sailing style. It significantly enhances performance, safety, and reliability of your sailboat by providing unmatched course stability and remarkable responsiveness, even in the most extreme conditions.

Yes, the MAD Brain Box is designed for native and extended integration with the NMEA 2000 network, making it compatible with major marine electronics brands on the market. Installation is "plug & play" via the CAN bus.

It uses standard sensors and displays and can operate with:

GPS: B&G ZG100, Garmin 24XD. Compass: B&G Precision 9, Garmin SteadyCast, Raymarine EV-1. Multifunction displays: B&G Zeus, Garmin GPSMAP / TD50, Raymarine Axiom. Speed/depth transducers: Airmar DST810, Airmar UDST800. Actuators: Electric or hydraulic, linear or rotary. This broad compatibility allows you to leverage your entire existing electronic setup.

Control of the MAD Brain Box autopilot is simplified via the MADLight application. This clear and intuitive interface is accessible directly from your existing navigation displays.

With MADLight, you can easily:

Switch between the three available steering modes: true wind, heading, or polar. Adjust autopilot settings. Monitor sensor data in real time. Take manual control of the helm if needed. The application is designed to be user-friendly, requiring no complex configurations or tedious adjustments, giving you full control at your fingertips. The system also automatically manages sensor failures.
