raspberry pi zero KIP external display - Screenshot - 2019-10-05 Hi everyone, I'm using a raspberry pi 3 for opencpn, and I recently discovered the KIP functionality in signalK. I had planned to use a raspberry pi zero W paired with an E-ink screen to display basic (speed and/or depth...) information outside the boat. Unfortunately (but unsurprisingly) the pi zero isn't powerful enough to load the website.  Is there a way to access the signalK data stream? /  if so how is it organized? (my knowledge in network stuff is pretty limited)  Thanks ! RE: raspberry pi zero KIP external display - jim321 - 2019-10-05 you could display kip on a smart phone or tablet. RE: raspberry pi zero KIP external display - mmcintosh - 2019-10-06 I too looked at displaying some info on an E-ink display and I know that it can be done but perhaps not the website but instead the data. I purchased a device from seandepagnier@gmail.com of pypilot https://pypilot.org/store/index.php?rt=product/product&path=73&product_id=126  Works well with a davis anemometer Measures wind speed and direction as well as barometric pressure. Compatible with pypilot for wind-steering modes, and opencpn for display and data logging. Other than that you can go headless to a phone or tablet as stated earlier. https://docs.sailoog.com/openplotter-v1-x-x/getting-started/headless https://sailoog.gitbooks.io/openplotter-documentation/en/headless.html Good luck on your project. raspberry pi zero KIP external display - tkurki - 2019-10-06 https://signalk.org/specification/1.3.0/doc/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: raspberry pi zero KIP external display - JeroenAdam - 2019-10-09 I'm using a bright LED matrix, see this post: http://forum.openmarine.net/showthread.php?tid=1390&highlight=matrix The built-in Node-Red (Signal K server) sends MQTT to again Node-Red (Raspberry Zero W). I published the two used Node-RED flows: 1. on OpenPlotter RPi and 2. on RPi Zero with LED matrix plugged on top.
