My sail boat
and the geek stuff I've been working on...
and the geek stuff I've been working on...
What I wanted in the first place was to have fun playing with my favorite toys: boats & computers (I also scuba dive, but this is another story).
Here's my projects:
NavMonitor is an Android app. It reads a NMEA 0183 stream over WiFi and present navigation information in a multi-page, configurable dashboard. Here's the privacy policy.
NMEARouter is a Java application, it typically run on a Raspberry PI and reads NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 or sensors (it supports a bunch of them: temperature, pressure, humidity and so on), save all on a database and calculates some analytics.
n2k_router_arduino is a small app that runs on a ESP32 and reads data from GPS and other sensors (like temperature, pressure and humidity) and push them out as NMEA 2000 pgns (yeah, I could buy one... but where's the fun?)
n2k_evo_autopilot_remote is yet one more ESP32 application and it's a remote for the Raymarine EVO series autopilot. It's still under development, but the part that I like more is that it support Bluetooth and (eventually) I will write an Android app to drive the autopilot.
n2k_battery_monitor reads the Victron VE.Direct and push everything on NMEA 2000. There's a Victron gadget for that but it deprecated and they want you to use their Venus of Cerbo devices - but they are power hungry and I do not need all the features (that overlap my NMEARouter application).
