Searched for anything "VWT" in the forum, and couldn't find anything, so here it goes:
Signal K doesn't seem to accept my wind instruments VWT sentence. Specifically, here's an example:
$IIVWT,38,R,10.1,N,5.1,M,18.7,K*60
When putting that into the SK Data Fiddler, there are no complaints, but also no deltas. I've also erased the checksum, but that doesn't change SK.
As SK passes all NMEA0183 to 10110, OpenCPN and qtVlm have no problem displaying the True Wind angle and speed.
My goal is to display, and log into InfluxDB, true wind angle (relative to boat) and speed, as well as calculate, display and log true wind direction (compass direction) and speed. How can I accomplish this? (My wind instruments calculate and show true wind compass direction as well, but it does not produce a MWD sentence.)
Thanks,
Chad
