Hi. I am looking at using a cm4 and Waveshare mini io board. For a project I am setting up on my small narrowboat.

As the tiny antique single cylinder diesel engine. Means the boat suffers from a fair bit of vibration. And this will be the first time I have used a CM4.

I was hoping some folks could share there experiance/advice on using CM4 boards in similar rough environments.

I am planning to build a system mounted to din rails with rubber pads to absorb some of the vibration. But any other experience other have can only help.

PS yep when the engine is running the whole boat vibrates. The upholstery and layout helps with comfort. So sitting or laying you don't feel it. But if (as now) I need the engine to charge batts. Things are noisy. And you can notice it touching the walls.

But annoying is more accurate then uncomfortable. Kettle on stove rattles etc.
