This would include GPIO states, environmental conditions, any onboard sensor state... the possibilities are endless. Obviously, this should be handled with extreme care.
Initially I only would include:
ap.enabled
ap.heading_command
ap.mode
ap.tack.direction
ap.tack.state
This would also solve Steve's request because in openplotter-gpio app you can generate notifications using any GPIO.
Any suggestion?
This could work, but my main concern would be for manual control and the amount of delay time or lag to trigger events this way. It might end up being a lot less responsive. For other actions such as listed here, this is not very important.
Maybe it would be better to instead assign gpio to signalk, or pypilot or other apps similarly to assigning other hardware such as gps or serial ports?
