Hey all,
I was wondering how difficult it would be to connect a pi with NMEA 2k hat to an existing B&G vulcan set up. Would it just be plug in and go, no problems? or would it mess up my vulcan's readings somehow? I want to use the pi as a "black box" recorder, and save sensor readings over time of individual trips.
The purpose of which is to share the trip data with people taken out on tours/lessons/etc, and also serve as a log for them (that they'd accumulate from me trip by trip via email) in case they want to see what they've done to date, conditions experience, etc. This way if they were taking lessons and want to buy a boat down the road, they can show the insurance company easy proof, or charter, can show them the same.
I'm looking to show dates/times, distance, gps map like Saillogger would be nice, AWS/TWS, depth, water temp, STW/SOG, weather (can be pulled from internet), sailing advisories (internet again), and anything else interesting, plus ability to input notes of course. Extra points if I can see the data over time for the length of the trip.
any thoughts or ideas?
