Carplounge Autopilot / Raymarine Element App for RT7 & RT4 V4.
Instead of a normal remote control of our BaitBoat, the Carplounge Autopilot uses an Android tablet/phone. The necessary software is available for free in the Google Playstore and can be used on any Android device with Bluetooth. The tablet is connected to the boat via Bluetooth with a transmitter box and can now control it completely via the touch screen. In manual mode, the boat can be used like a normal BaitBoat and steered via the touchscreen. The position and route of the boat, as well as orientation (compass function!) are displayed on the map and continuously updated. In addition, promising fishing spots, which were found with the help of the echo sounder, can be saved and named via the built-in GPS, e.g. "jetty left", "spot 1", "home", etc.
In autopilot mode the points can be selected and combined to a route with corresponding actions (left hatch open/right hatch open/left release open/right release open/ turn on lights...).
Example: 1.) drive to position "Sandbank", there arrived open the right hopper 2.) drive to position "Spot 2" there arrived open the left hopper 3.) come back to the fishing place and blink once. The boat can now be loaded and will automatically follow the route. An almost infinite number of spots and routes can be stored. Through the most accurate measurement technology such as position and acceleration sensors, as well as the latest GPS and compass technology, an absolutely precise route guidance is possible, 90% with an accuracy of less than 30cm!
Also the tensioning of the line while driving, especially when deploying 2 rods at the same time to different spots is intelligently solved: If you tension one or both lines while driving the boat, this is detected by the built-in electronics and the boat steers accordingly to the train against, so the boat always remains on the direct course to the selected target without unnecessary turns to drive and thus generate line bends.
The autopilot replaces the normal remote control of the boat. However, we offer the possibility to connect a remote control to the autopilot. So you can choose whether you want to control the boat via your tablet or the remote control. For autopilot app control, all Android tablets with Bluetooth can be used. Currently, our app is optimized for 10-inch tablets. You can steer the BaitBoat directly via the tablet's touchscreen.
The free app, available via the Google Play Store, will therefore be constantly developed and expanded by us. By means of automatic software updates via the Playstore, we can provide new function requests, changes and extensions for a quick update without having to send in the autopilot or the boat to us. The autopilot app is automatically updated as is common with tablet/smartphones.
For use exclusively with the RT7 & RT4 V4.

The core feature of Carplounge V4 Autopilot is its intelligent casting system. Players can define specific spots, distances, and casting angles, and the autopilot will execute these casts with precision and consistency. This eliminates the need for manual casting, saving players time and effort, particularly during long sessions. Furthermore, the autopilot can automatically recast after a fish is caught or the line breaks, ensuring continuous fishing without constant player intervention.
Baiting is another area where the autopilot excels. Players can pre-program baiting strategies, specifying the type of bait, the amount, and the frequency of baiting. The autopilot will then automatically dispense bait at the designated spots, maintaining a consistent flow of attractants to entice carp. This automated baiting system frees players from the tedious task of manual baiting, allowing them to concentrate on other aspects of the game, such as rig selection and fish playing.
Rig management is also streamlined with the autopilot. Players can preset their preferred rig configurations, including hook size, line type, and lead weight. The autopilot will automatically equip the chosen rig when casting, ensuring that the player is always fishing with the optimal setup for the target species and conditions. This automated rig management eliminates the need for manual rig changes, saving valuable time and reducing the risk of errors.
Fish playing, while still requiring player input, is enhanced by the autopilot's assistance features. The autopilot can automatically adjust the drag settings based on the size and strength of the hooked fish, optimizing the chances of a successful landing. It can also provide real-time feedback on the fish's behavior, helping players make informed decisions during the fight. This assistance simplifies the fish playing process, making it more accessible to less experienced players.
The autopilot also incorporates advanced features such as spot locking and depth finding. Spot locking allows players to fix their fishing location, preventing drift and ensuring that the bait remains in the target area. Depth finding automatically determines the water depth at the chosen spot, providing valuable information for selecting the appropriate rig and baiting strategy.
Beyond the core automation features, Carplounge V4 Autopilot offers a range of customization options. Players can fine-tune the autopilot's behavior to suit their individual preferences and fishing styles. This level of customization ensures that the autopilot complements the player's skills and enhances their overall gaming experience.
The user interface of the autopilot is designed for intuitive navigation and control. Clear and concise displays provide real-time information on the autopilot's status and performance, allowing players to monitor and adjust the system as needed. The user-friendly interface makes the autopilot accessible to players of all skill levels.
In conclusion, Carplounge V4 Autopilot significantly enhances the virtual carp fishing experience by automating repetitive tasks, streamlining gameplay, and providing valuable assistance. Whether you're a seasoned angler seeking efficiency or a newcomer looking for a more accessible entry point, the autopilot offers a range of features and customization options to cater to your individual needs and preferences. It elevates the game from a simple fishing simulator to a strategic angling experience, where players can focus on the nuances of carp fishing without being bogged down by tedious tasks. The autopilot's intelligent automation and user-friendly interface combine to create a truly immersive and rewarding virtual carp fishing experience.
