I'd like to use the Daisy AIS hat on a raspberry pi. Can that be configured to work in OpenPlotter? The idea is to have the data accessible from an iPad running iSailor.

I'm not sure about power requirements, but you should have no problem using it with OpenPlotter. It outputs serial NMEA data, as opposed to using SDR devices, which require some decoding by the PI.

So, just configure another serial NMEA input stream at 38400 bps. You can filter the incoming strings if you wish, but is shouldn't be necessary.

EDIT: Ha! That'll teach me to read more carefully. You are talking about the hat, not the USB device. Still, it shouldn't be a problem, it's just a different serial input to the PI, or I2C. Regardless, it should work fine.

Yes, it works great with openplotter - I'm running a RPI2 with openplotter 0.8 and daisy ais hat.

Yes, it works perfectly, even with a home-made antenna [http://sdrformariners.blogspot.it/2013/0...r-ais.html] it receives signals from 10 nm.

I run a Daisy AIS hat on raspberrypi II, Openplotter 0.8 and using an Comrod AV15 Antenna.  On good days I have seen range more than 180 nautical miles and the AIS is covering normally a sea area of about 5000 km2.  On average days, reception distance is 25-40 nautical miles

Use a good antenna, a decent coax cable, at least RG213  and a original raspberry power supply ( if on main power) and you will be more than happy with the dAISy  ais hat.
