I assume others are using the wilhelmsk app for building displays. If so have you found any manuals or youtub descriptions on how to build displays. Right now I am fumbling around but not getting far.

World Coastal Map for Freeboard

While trying to download the Signal K World Coastline Map mentioned on https://github.com/SignalK/charts-plugin under “Publicly available MBTiles charts can be found from:”, I always encounter a 401 (unauthorized) error after loading 96% of the “signal-world-coastline-map-database.tgz” file. Can this be solved?

Autopilot -> Shipmodule N2K -> signalK

Multiple Signal K servers sharing all data

What is the best way to run multiple Signal K servers and have them share all data? In my setup, I have at least two servers, sometimes more. For these two specifically, they each source data that is not available to the other (e.g., Victron SK has battery information while rPi SK has all NMEA data). I want all data, including battery and NMEA, to be available to both. I can establish a WebSocket connection from rPi to Victron, but if I do it bidirectionally (meaning, a separate WebSocket connection from Victron to rPi), things start acting weird. I suspect this is caused by a loop of some sort. Attaching the WebSocket configuration for reference. Suggestions welcome....

setting the n2k device name of signalk on the n2k network

Hi everyone, I have a basic question, where can I set the device name of the signalk server on the n2k network. The default seems to be "unkown device". At least this is what the garmin chartplotter shows, when it is connected to the signalk server.

link plugin & file ownership; best practices

I've developed a plugin which I linked using "npm link". The plugin than pops up in Plugin Config menu. However I noticed subsequently I can't install any plugins from the Appstore anymore due to permission issues: with "ls -ld /home/user/.signalk/node_modules" i checked ownership. Once I chown the permissions to the current user I'm able to install apps from Appstore gain but my Plugin's Config dissapears from the list again. ...

AIS vessel names

Starting relatively recently (cannot pinpoint with which Signal K server upgrade but currently on 2.8.2) something seems to have changed with AIS name identification. The names are now missing for many of the targets. Missing names do show up in the chartplotter so don’t think it is the AIS itself or the reception. This is relatively a new phenomenon, was not observing a notificable/similar behavior before. I can also observe this on some of the boats in Saillogger so does not seem isolated to me. Before I do any further digging, anything obvious comes to mind?...

Multiple session on N2K?

How does source priority work?

Our network is a bit crowded with sources. Several GPS and heading sources as well as sources that repeat received data. For example, we have a Vesper Cortex and a YD Ethernet gateway that repeats (over Ethernet) NMEA data in addition to the B&G Zeus. I have all of these data connections going in to SK because they all don't provide the same data. For example, the Zeus and Vesper don't forward the engine data. I have the Vesper connected because it forwards GPS and AIS data when at anchor and the NMEA network is powered off. I've found that this causes weird issues with all this multiple sources so I've started using source priority. ...
