Signal K, instrument panel, browser plugin - getting started
#1
Once again, I love openplotter! I have most things up & running, but when it comes to Signal K, its all new to me, and i still dont understand it.

I attached some 1W-sensors and configured them successful in the 1W-Tab in openplotter. When i go to the Signal K Tab and klick Diagnostic, they are shown correct with a Celsius-Value.

   

Next i tried the Node-Red-Thing and opened a browser with the openplotter:3000/instrumentpanel-Link. There i get a predefined Panel, showing some things like SOG, Position and my 1W-Sensors. But there are other values, i think its Farenheit? (291 instead of 19).

   

In the "Configure-View", i see nothing to configure than an on/off slider for each Instrument.

So my question is:

How to configure the appearance (size, order, kind of Instrument) and the right dimension (Celsius)?

And, another question: On my search, i found the "Signal K Browser Plugin" -Thing, when hitting the "Signal K Tools" button in OPs Signal K-Tab. There is shown a "Marine Traffic Reporter". What is this? Does it report all AIS information captured by openplotter to MarineTraffic? Or is this something like self-report-tool, that reports own position to MarineTraffic (something i would really, really love!)?

Thanks in advance!
Nico
