Backup of Kip from CerboGX to PC
I'm running Kip on a Victron CerboGX. After a intensive configuration in 2023 I lost my Kip-screens because of an update of the VictronOS (reset of SignalK because of data at 100%).
I recently I realized a new set of instrument panels. I'm in search of a simple way creating a backup of the Kip data to my PC or cloud - without hacking via PUTTY.
I'm a user not a dev. A copy via Storage/Copy/Remote to local (W11 PC using Firefox) didn't create any file-set I can move to my cloud-backup.
How can I perform a backup using the Kip UI?...
heading info
Are there any simple ways to get bearing/heading info into SK (on RPI4)? (Not including commercial N2K compasses). I have a few 3-axis magnetometers I've been playing with on ESP32 (my hardworking SH) but it seems simpler to plug them into the Pi and let SK handle the rest. I could probably install some pypilot components but I'm looking for something even easier, if it exists!
How to send Grafana alerts to SignalK
I'd like to use SignalK as a central point of all the notifications. I set up some alerts in Grafana and would like that they are posted to SignalK.
Setting aside Grafana as a source and assuming I'm doing this from command line using
curl: what should be the high level sequence of steps to post a notification representing an alert into SignalK?
Is it necessary to login or not? ...Connection between only 2 NMEA2000 devices
Is it possible to connect only 2 NMEA2000 devices with a single cable without passing through a N2K bus with backbone, T’s and terminal resistors (taking into account that the +V and ground wires must also be coonected to the 12V supply)?
True wind, speed & direction.
All, I know that true wind is calculated, but my question is, is there an existing N2K PNG that can be used, or do I need to use the derived data plugin? I’m setting up a new system with an RPi5 and I could have sworn I had true wind on my old system last year. Data source is Raymarine ITC-5 for speed & wind, and EV1 for heading.
Connecting NMEA 2000 to Signal K server?
What would be the easiest way to connect an existing NMEA 2000 network to a Signal K server?
