NMEA Test Stream - Jodel - 2021-01-15

Hi,
I want to test the latest version of OpenPlotter on a Raspberry Pi at home.  As I am not on the boat I have no NMEA data stream to test my settings.  Anyone aware of a way around this, such as a NMEA streaming server on the internet, or one I could install locally on either another Linux computer of on the Pi itself?
Thanks
Jodel

You can run sksim and signalk - nmea apps

Thanks, I'll try that.

Another way is to use the sample files included in SignalK which I have described here https://pysselilivet.blogspot.com/2020/07/understandinstall-openplotteropencpnsig.html#Input

Brilliant, Thanks.  Plenty there to keep me occupied for a few days of lockdown! Smile

And an easy way to start the sample data - https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-server/blob/master/raspberry_pi_installation.md#step-21-optional-test-the-server-with-sample-data

$ signalk-server --sample-nmea0183-data

Tried that approach and it worked perfectly for me.  Thanks
