Python has the tools for both, and with SK data you skip the decoding part and are set for future n2k and non nmea data extension. Kinda the fundamental idea with Signal K. OpenCPN already supports sk input and is moving further in that direction.
With ws you’d have optional ssl and access control.
There’s also https://github.com/ph1l/python-signalk-client, but it is inactive or abandoned.
Thanks, I will try that approach as well.
Where I am hoping to get to eventually is to get a Raspberry Pi Pico and run Micro Python on it. I was hoping to attach a suitable small display to show data such as Bearing to Waypoint, Track and speed etc..
A monochrome display that was sunlight readable would be ideal. Something like a normal cockpit display (approx 100 mm.)
