how to not buy stupidly expensive Raymarine navigation systems

#OpenPlotter #OpenCPN #SignalK

I made a feed to capture marine IoT stuff. Topics for #opencpn #openplotter #openseamap #PiCAN-M #openmarine #qtVlm #signalk #pypilot and few others, plus combos of various hardware, #NMEA, #LoRa and marine related keywords. Give it a try. Feedback welcome. Also looking forward for topical threads.

A fun little project this last weekend! Mainly a good excuse to practice some CAD work.

It's a 7" touchscreen with a raspberry pi 4 running open plotter and openCPN. It's a prototype for the head unit for my navigation station on my boat.

The final one will likely be a 10" touchscreen. Not waterproof, but water resistant. And then likely a waterproof android tablet for the cockpit.

I will likely use the prototype in the vbearth for keeping an eye on things.

NMEA 2000 powered Raspberry Pi

Easy to install Raspberry Pi computer that gets its power from the NMEA 2000 bus. Great for SignalK, OpenCPN, and OpenPlotter.

..and the code made it into the wild 😎

Unfortunately I don’t have my own test hardware for this ⛡️

Instalation of boat system based on #SignalK and @skipperapp on my friend's boat. All is working and is almost ready. He did a great job integrating #Waveshare displays into the dashboard. The system is based on a single @Raspberry_Pi CM4 module and running #OpenPlotter image.
There's one guy who's living just a few hours away (in sailing time) that has built a #RaspberryPi-based navigation system in his boat, and now his homepage has disappeared off the interwebs.
And I don't remember his name, so I can't look up his name and call him πŸ™„
His documentation was 1000 times better than the "documentation" of #OpenPlotter.
