## What is Boat Ballast?

This app is the head unit for a pump controller that fills the ballast bags in a wakeboard boat. It also has GPS speed, direction and distance. Gyroscope pitch and yaw. These tools can help you drive well for wakeboarding. Driving in a straight line and keeping the boat level is key to having a good wake.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.0 — 2025-12-31

Added a switch to empty out the bags. This sends a BLE message to the controller to reset the timers that track how long the bags have been filling. You would use this if you have fully emptied the bags, but the controller still reads them as partially full.

### 1.2 — 2025-02-02

This version adds a "force fill" setting, which will override the auto stop features of the Jabsco pump controller. Sometime you find yourself turning the pump on and off again just to get the bags full. This setting will turn the pumps off and on again, for you. Until you turn them off yourself.

### 1.1 — 2024-12-19

Fixed the pitch calculation when the phone passes through 90 degrees, in "No Bluetooth" mode.

### 1.0 — 2024-12-17

No release notes.
