Is it possible to put this info into SignalK?
#6
If you have the USB Victron connectors, that is a very easy way to go to get data into SK.

As for the tank sensors, that's a different story. You'll need something to take the measurements, read the data and then (possibly) use the calibration plugin to make the adjustments. If you go the SensESP route, you can do this. The numbers don't really mean anything to me, but the difference between the numbers at "full" and "empty" are what will matter.

There's a bunch of different ways to do this. On my boat, I found it easiest to use an Alba Combi (https://www.albacombi.com) to digitize tank and engine data. On my old boat I built a capacitive sensor with SensESP which worked great, too. You'll need some way to read the sensor at full (1.0) & empty (0.0) and adjust for in-between (0.1-0.9).
