Send all signalK event to UDP Port (for using navionics on ipad) - pkernevez - 2019-01-19

Hello,

I installed and configure my pi, every thing works fine. OpenCPN receives all the relevant information on TCP 10110 from signalK.
I would like to configure the network to receive the same NMEA messages on UDP 2000 for an application navionicson my ipad connected to the network .
I tried to use KPlex for that, as it's a multiplexer and it has udp output.
But Kplex only see a limited part of my messages : GPS and pressure (coming from I2C/BME280).
The other messages are directly send to SignalK via OPpypilot or OPsensors.

I thought to define a TCP route from SignalK to Kplex and then send all the messages to UDP through KPlex. But I think it will create a messages overflow as the same message will be sent and resent between KPlex and SignalK.


How can I sent all the message from KPlex to UDP ?

Regards,
Philippe

My configuration :
Openplotter 1.2.0 alpha
PI 3
SignalK 1.10.2

Sensors :
RS422/485 (NMEA input)
GPS USB

DS18B20 (temperature)
BME280 (pressure)
MPU 9255 (accelerator & compas)

Send all signalK event to UDP Port (for using navionics on ipad) - tkurki - 2019-01-20

A plugin to do this directly from Signal K would take very little coding. Would you be interested in giving it a shot?

I went ahead and wrote a plugin for this. @signalk/udp-nmea-plugin should be downloadable shortly.

RE: Send all signalK event to UDP Port (for using navionics on ipad) - pkernevez - 2019-01-22

I've tried the plugin.
I've created 2 merge requests for small improvement.

I still have a problem : I only receive message coming from kplex (and I already can send those message to udp).
I suppose this is probably due to the filter ´app.signalk.on('nmea0183', send)´ that only resend message of 'nmea' type. Is it right ?
I'm also interested to receive other TCP or UDP like OPSensor

I've a screenshot of the message in KPlex but I can't upload it in the forum, the error message said that the file name is invalid, even it's a very simple name (screenshot.png or screenshot.jpeg).

    
Code:
    {
            "enabled":true,
            "id":"OPsensors",
            "pipeElements":[
                {
                    "options":{
                        "logging":false,
                        "subOptions":{
                            "port":"55557",
                            "type":"udp"
                        },
                        "type":"SignalK"
                    },
                    "type":"providers/simple"
                }
            ]
        }


When I listen on UDP I only have some message coming from KPlex

Code:
nc -kluvw 0 192.168.1.255 2000 | stdbuf -o0 tr '$' '\n' | grep XDR
Listening on [192.168.1.255] (family 0, port 2000)

APXDR,A,-0.448,D,PTCH*5E
APXDR,A,1.27,D,ROLL*5D
APXDR,A,-0.461,D,PTCH*55


If I do the same but on the signalK TCP connector I have other message coming from other input:

Code:
nc 192.168.1.131 10110 | stdbuf -o0 tr '$' '\n\$' | grep XDR

Is it possible to retrieve the missing message ?

Hi Teppo

thanks for writing the plugin.
However, I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong
When I try to install through the SK browser interface, it looks like it is ok, but does not do anything.

The only way I have been able to relay data to UDP port 2000 has been to configure OpenCPN on the Raspberry to output to UDP- but this seems to place a large load on the RPI- it is running at 100% most of the time, rather than ~20%. I don't normally use OpenCPN on the RPI.

thank you in advance & apologies if this is a dumb question.

Did you enable and configure the plugin in the plugin configuration section of the server admin ui?

Hi Teppo

Yes I did

I have played around with it some more, and found that I have to explicitly enter the broadcast IP address in the ui- even though it is identical  to the IP automatically shown in the UI

Not sure if this is a problem with the plugin, or a quirk with my system, but it seems to have solved the problem for me.

thanks for your reply and for the plugin

RE: Send all signalK event to UDP Port (for using navionics on ipad) - Slovak - 2021-08-16

Per https://www.npmjs.com/package/@signalk/udp-nmea-plugin/v/1.2.2 and the description in SK when installing plugins, is this plugin only limited to NMEA 0183 output? Is there a similar path/method/plugin/configuration to achieve the same with NMEA 2000? I looked at https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-to-nmea2000 plugin but that doesn't allow to designate the broadcast address or port, so doesn't seem to accomplish the same.

RE: Send all signalK event to UDP Port (for using navionics on ipad) - tkurki - 2021-08-17

The plugin handles only nmea 0183 data.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish - what would be receiving the n2k data and what format does it expect? Unlike 0183 there is no single common format for transmitting n2k data over other media than canbus.
