Default Software to graph NMEA Windspeed

On Sun, 05 Oct 2003 05:43:22 GMT, J tempted
fate with:

This is for a base station wind instrument which I'm putting together for a sailing club.
They have the NMEA instrument and have asked that I can put nice pretty graphs of wind
speed and direction up on their website. I'm thinking of just writing some code myself to
take the input and create a text file with it and have that FTP'd to their webspace and
run CGI scripts to graph it.

This might make it a bit clearer!
I hope

Interesting. While we mull that over, you might be interested in:

It might give you some ideas. This is data from sensors a couple of
hundred yards from my marina. They have data from other sensors
spread around the bay. I don't know how they are doing it, though.

To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.

Take a look at cpRepeater, an NMEA data integrator, repeater, and
logger at http://www.worldwidewiley.com/
