NMEA 183 data to WiFi Interface
For those of you with boats big enough that running wires and cables
can be difficult, here is a possible interesting solution which can take your NMEA 183 data from a chart plotter, GPS, AIS receiver, etc., and transmit it over a wireless network to a PC, laptop, etc.: http://www.amazon.com/DIGITAL-DYT-ZDIGWLN10-ZDIGWLN10-Converts-Compatible/dp/B00JUZ71EY I haven't tried this yet but it looks intriguing for some future projects that I have in mind. |

Yes, but no peer reviews yet in too. I'm also a bit bemused that it's WiFi b+g. I'd think at least N given we're in 2014. |

No that is not it at all. They mean you can stream NMEA 183 data to a device that is already WiFi capable. It adapts your Nav equipment to run on an existing WiFi network. . === As I understand it you can stream nav data to a smart phone or tablet with the proviso that the app can access data over a WiFi connection. The Amazon description lists a bunch of apps which can accept data that way. The important one for me is OpenCPN which runs on a lot of different hardware/software platforms. With this device I could stream NMEA 183 UDP packets from my chart plotter and receive them simultaneously at PCs running OpenCPN on both the lower and upper helm. I already have a cable in place to do that however so the immediate need is not that compelling. What I'd really like now is a capability within OpenCPN to output data to a virtual COM port for older applications that can't access network data. Guys like Harry would tell you to throw all of that "obsolete stuff" away and buy the newest hardware/software setup. ;-) === I doubt that Harry would have any clue at all on how to configure an instrumentation network on a boat, and his friendly "genius" at the Apple store would be helpless also. |

Ooooh...the bankster and the racist are giving each other handjobs. I knew who to call to wire up the electronics on the boat, and he left with me with computer-generated wiring diagrams and backup plans. The factory did a good job with what it did, and the guy I hired did a better job with what he did. We have a main system for nav, and a completely independent backup system and, of course, I have chart plotting capabilities on my laptop and on my iPhone. If I took the same damned trip as many times as the bankster had taken the same trips, I'd have everything pretty much memorized, except for the infrequently reported depth changes. It's not difficult to get from here to Long Island Sound, eh? |

Nope, Harry would say all new. Probably also, why he declared bankruptcy. Not once, but twice. |
