Introducing OpenPlotter hats!!!

[tocan]

I did now decide for next year not to use the hat, because i did bought me for AIS a used class A transponder  und was allways most important for me to support Openstreetmap and Openseamap project so i decide to log with the official Datalogger there. in general this way i have place for another head.

When the new version of openplotter will come? I like during winter to setup the final system at home. For Inland still OpenCPN is only parial usefull because of not existing use of mtiles and tiles.

The hat looks great I like the idea of putting the gps on the hat. My experience with temp sensors attached to a hat is not a good idea generally as the RPI gives off heat causing incarcerate readings.
I agree with Tocan I support Openseamap /openstreetmap. But with no tiles available for my area or i have not found a way to do this. My current setup is a UPS pico with your proto board on top. and the following lines broken out 3.3v,ground, SDA,SCL,1Wire and the serial lines. this goes to another box via Cat6 cable with the i2c sensors. I made a 1w bus on this and Terminals for the serial port.
I am hoping to find RJ45 jacks i can connect the 2 boxes with. I have issues with UPS PICO as they have been very unreliable getting updates out to fix bugs due to proprietary dev software.
I do not use AIS as no one has this on lake Winnipeg. I have non nmea Depth sounder to be replaced suggestions welcome. My second depth sounder is a old wrench tied to 33m tape measure. very high teck accurate to 1 cm.
I stopped using node red on RPI as it has issues so I run it on the laptop to display Sensor data and SignalK Instrument panel.
I use 2 Epsolar tracer A charge controllers via modbus/USB and some python code to send data to SignalK.
Everything is vary stable now. i had a few bad unrelated updates that were causing problems but thanks to some help all is good.
I would like to add RFTAG sensor i could attach to my PDF so if i fall off my boat would stop or alarm if i fall off.

You are my hero guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You help me to push from my EP-Solar EPever to come to Signal K and i help you with yours Sonar.

Buy a compatible Sounder that is NMEA0183 compatible. And then because you love OSM join the http://depth.openseamap.org/

Try to translate the german parts because this section is more active than the english to yours language.
http://wiki.openseamap.org/wiki/Depth_Data

For you best thing is to use the official sponsored Hardware logger that includes also the neccessary Sensors and push the data to signal k
The hardware logger is in an enclosed case and you do not need anymore the gyro etc...
Price is just 30 $ or 50 if you wish to use Seatalk... 

I did decide for this combination and so i do not need a hat for the moment. When you did get some data you can take out the seperate SD cards and upload them to OSM. you can also when you are in the harbour or port log the data with waves and differences so all time you get the data exact and with the different seasonal changes later.

I also did drop the node red as long there exist no step by step solution for open plotter inside documentation. Scott bender did write me recently that he does not plan to put his Wilhelm SK to Android because he does not see any need for this. 

So i decide for AF-Track intermediate. As far as i see I use from Openplotter mainly Signal K and Canboat. The rest 2 Special Mobiles push together with Android apps. They are reasonable waterresistant and have a very good brigdness also in sun and i can push the 2 6,44 inch together to a one big 13 inch screen touchpad. Start to build my own mapserver now.

Nice to see what they to in rusia to help.
