and something actually useful... takes a little while to dig into the manuals and find what plugin uses what sentence in opencpn..... there is a quicker way - ask ChatGPT!
" - what nmea0183 input sentence does the konni logbook in opencpn use to get wind speed?
- The Konni Logbook plugin in OpenCPN uses the NMEA0183 input sentence "$IIMWV" to get wind speed information. This sentence provides both the wind direction and wind speed data in knots. The sentence structure is as follows:
$IIMWV, x.x, R, x.x, N, A*hh<CR><LF>
where:
x.x = Wind direction in degrees True
R = Reference, R = Relative, T = True
x.x = Wind speed in knots
N = Wind speed units, N = Knots
A = Status, A = Active
*hh = Checksum
So the wind speed information can be extracted from the third field of this sentence, which is the wind speed value in knots."
Spoke with a coding friend yesterday, he said within a month of launch his company was using chatgpt to write a large proportion of their code, he said it was like having a junior - "Go and write a function to do this..", then they would check but usually fine. Also lots of their older code was getting put through chatgpt to optimise & make it more efficient. The future is here!!! ?
