Semi-automatic digital logbook for Signal K

[Caribsailor]

For engine hours, you can have Signal K operate a counter: https://www.npmjs.com/package/signalk-hour-meter
You need some way for Signal K to know the engine is running. For example, RPMs. On our boat we use alternator output for this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@meri-impe...-engine-on

Trip logs require something to output navigation.log. On my boat this is done by the paddle wheel sensor. GPS based method would also be doable, see https://github.com/meri-imperiumi/signal.../issues/62

For backup, you need to locate the .signalk directory. That is by default in the home folder of the system user that Signal K runs as, but may be also different in your setup.

BTW, if somebody wants to see how the mostly-automated logs look like, we publish ours as part of our blog posts. See for example yesterday’s sail on the Szczecin lagoon: https://lille-oe.de/2023-04-12/

Thank you for your quick reply!

Here the data  from the data browser.
   
The engine status populates to the Logbook, but unsure on why the engine hours does not. (Engine hours is correct)

As for the trip log.  Data from the Data Browser
   
I have it populating to the SK instrument panel webapp, but again, does not populate to the Logbook.

Thanks again.
