The story behind Veetr
It begun as a need to measure and 'see' the elements around us while sailing. With open source device and software that won't cost more than a boat that will be simple to install and won't be energy hungry. Such system didn't exist. Now it does.
About
The project has its roots in the Czech Republic. The name comes from the Czech word for wind, “vítr”, where the long “i” is pronounced close to “ee” in English.
The philosophy is simple: knowledge should move freely. Open source code, circuit diagrams, design files, and open data should help sailors, makers, and contributors understand, reuse, and build on the tools they rely on.
Who’s behind Veetr
Veetr was created by Jan Linhart, a software and mechanical engineer over 2 decades building open source software.
Jan sails at Orlík Reservoir aboard a Micro class sailboat as well as sailing on the sea with bigger sailboats.
