Now you have all the tools to create a program to sail your boat autonomously. It knows where it is and where it is going, and can sense the wind to use that to sail towards a specific destination. The next few chapters will introduce an entirely new application of the BeagleBone Black—and underwater ROV to explore things under the surface of water.
