CanopusNav Configuration Notes - affinite - 2018-03-14
I am a huge fan of the OpenPlotter project and have been learning and experimenting since the early days.
Technologies such as SignalK, NodeRed, JavaScript, ESP8266 MCUs etc have been a revelation to me but at times they have blown my mind!
Experimenting has taken me down so many paths and resulted in so many "tweaks" to my OP computer, that I felt I needed to start documenting my configuration in case I ever wanted to rebuild from scratch.
My configuration notes are definitely Work In Progress but I have linked to them below in the hope that it may be of some use to someone.
CanopusNav
The document currently only covers my use of ESP8266 MCUs as wireless senders for my boat systems but will be expanded to cover my OpenPlotter and NodeRed setup in due course
I currently use ESP8266's to send important boat systems data to my NodeRed dashboard.
Parameters measured include:
Fuel Level
Fresh Water Level
Waste Water Level
Start Battery Voltage and Current
House Battery Voltage and Current
Thruster Battery Voltage and Current
Solar Panel Voltage
Key Engine Temperatures
All data is sent over MQTT and displayed in NodeRed or on my phone via a public MQTT broker
I've used lots of ideas from lots of people on this forum so if you recognise your work in my config - Thanks

Great write up, thanks for sharing. I have a similar setup using espeasy & mqtt, works very well.
