João,

You may be interested to know that we’re developing a NMEA0183/Wi-Fi bridge that will be up on Kickstarter in a few weeks’ time, or we are currently doing trials with prototypes so let me know if you’d like one of these to try out and give us some feedback. We will be producing this for about half of the price of anything equivalent on the market, through being highly focussed on making the electronics design highly cost effective, and also because we are not adding Wi-Fi on to a NMEA multiplexer which is what many NMEA Wi-Fi devices do.

Apologies if this is a bit off-topic for SignalK, though we are considering supporting SignalK as an additional protocol as a stretch target.

Tim

·         Seatalk to Nmea - 2 Updates

Seatalk to Nmea

"João Nunes" <joao....@cardiocvp.net>: Apr 05 04:38AM -0700 Hello all. Im a bit confused with all the info around, so I have a question. I would like to send my wind data (raymarine st50+) from a Seatalk cable, to a Nmea to wifi bridge (so I can access that info on my ipad). Does signalk have the capacity to recieve Seatalk, and convert and send as Nmea? Regards

Does signalk have the capacity to recieve Seatalk, and convert and send as Nmea?   There is some work done to read Seatalk (I think), but you'd probably be better off using a hardware Seatalk to NMEA 0183 converter like this one: http://www.gadgetpool.de/bestellen/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21/products_id/54?osCsid=4dlhimri3rsalqv86p7h3ldsl0   Then you can use a Signal K server to read the NMEA and send it to your iPad as SK data. But if you have a NMEA-WiFi bridge and aren't actually interested in the Signal K data format or apps which consume it, then you don't need SK at all. Just connect one of the Seatalk to NMEA bridges from gadgetpool between your Seatalk network and your NMEA-WiFi bridge. This one should work: http://www.gadgetpool.de/bestellen/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21/products_id/29   -Tim
