Then its charting and N2K integration for general and AIS dara, which seems to need a dongle that is presently not available?


Steve

Hi Steve it depends which stick you talk about.

http://shop.sailoog.com/en/4-usb-sdr-ais-receiver.html

The stick is available... Its a new generation with a lot advantages to the old.

Sailloog have 2 shops :-) One is linked to the old shop and there are also dongles for a little cheaper price. This dongle i set a link here in the answer is a better choose.

I buy one piece allways extra and if he have absolute noone in stock i can ship you the stick in case of urgency. the stick i have is 2 weeks old and i did flash it for testing purposes with another firmware but it should be no problem.

The original RTL-SDR Stick you should not buy in Ebay or Amazon because there exists cheap fakes for the moment and RTL-SDR did warn about this in their blog.

So buy with saillog and if he realy do not have one in stock you can buy with him and i will ship you for urgency needs.

I will have 1 or 2 parts allways for local or urgend needs. Keep attention to run the dongle with a good hub and not directely at the Raspberry pi. This dongle takes 260 mA to prevent you for dissfunction use a good hub for the USB Ports. I am not satisfied complete with the Hub you see in the documentation. The hub is good but the part is delivered just with a 1 A bulk for 220 Volts but anyways on the boat i will work with 12 V to 5.1V Converter what brings me more flexability and stability. Raspberry Pi V3 is very sensitive in this. 

The Can Dongle project is not in production state as far as i see for the moment. The fact is you can do it in own response. But you should be aware if you go this way hopefully to give something back...

i do not plan personally to buy any N2K licenced Hardware for the moment and in this interview you can understand my reasons. For this i did not bought not the USB stick.

If i have possibility i personaly do not put not money in a organisation to support and manyfest such kind of products withsuch strange copyright restrictions if i have alternatives.

But do you realy use can bus? The transponder does not work with NMEA183? I suggest to go that way with yours transponder if possible. From DData transfer it should be more than enough under normal conditions.
