Signal K not getting my Seatalk1 stream via GPIO on PI5

Hello everybody. My old PI3 with the Signal K version included in Openplotter V3 had no problem reading my boat Seatalk 1 data stream. After upgrading to a PI5 with the latest version of Signal K and using the same wiring and same GPIO port I get this error:...

Alarms from zones & hysteresis

I stumbled upon this issue when one of the temperature measurements is bouncing between configured zones and sending excessive amounts of push notifications. See the attached photo (copied from web) which quite clearly describes the case. Usually, such issue has been solved by setting a hysteresis range, for example in case of a temperature measurement it could be from 0°C to 1°C. When T goes down to 0°C, alert is summoned, but in order to clear the alert, T must rise to 1°C or above. I'm sure everyone is aware of this solution. The question is, how have you solved this, is there perhaps another plugin for triggering notifications or have you sorted it out with Node-RED? Or am I using zones wrong?...

Slow output from signalk-to-nmea0183

I need some help with the signalk-to-nmea0183 plugin. Data is coming out only every 60 seconds. The data originates from sksim and I can see that the data is being output from sksim about every 2 seconds. I can see that in the "Signal K Output" window of sksim, and also I see data changing in KIP at approximately 2 second intervals. However, when I connect TZ iBoat to the TCP port, I only see data every 60 seconds. I assume this is the rate it is coming out of signalk-to-nmea0183. Questions: 1. Is there any place in signalk-to-nmea0183 to set the output rate? 2. Is there another way to see the output rate of the NMEA data on TCP? 3. Are there other ways to debug or understand this problem?...

Signal K Error Processing RMB message

Hi the moderator on the Signal K to "Raymarine Seatalk NG" thread on OpenMarine Forum suggested I contact you. I find that when Signal K receives an RMB message from OpenCPN via a UDP connection it throws an error, which I don't fully understand. It seems to be related to a Null value for latitude even though there is no such value in the RMB message. This error is preventing the Signalk-to-nmea2000 pluging providing navigation data required by autopilots....

SignalK and microPython

What would be the best way to import/export signalK data on a dev board running microPython? I found this library https://github.com/ph1l/python-signalk-client but it has not been updated in 2 years.

Transmitting from Navionics/Boating App back to NMEA devices

I've got my signal K set up and having a blast with the data being sent over the network. However, I just want to make sure that there is no way that data could be transmitted back from my ipad onto the on board navigation equipment. Is there a feature/service which should be disabled to make sure that it's only broadcasting one-way?...

is the iKommunicate the only commertially avail SK server with built in NMEA hardware interfaces?

Likely many of us who want to interface NMEA to SK either go the Pi Hat with NMEA interfaces or perhaps a Pi plus a secondary NMEA <-> TCP box. Im curiuous if there are all-in-one boxes other than the iKcommunicate.

Hello

I am in my first days of playing around in SignalK, so please bare over with my stupid questions.

Subscriptions to paths of "defaults" source don't receive updates

If I subscribe to paths from the "defaults" source like "mmsi" or "name", no updates are sent, even with a "fixed" policy. Is this expected? FYI an HTTP GET does return the expected data....

Simulate N2K Sensors

Are there any plugins or tools that will allow me to simulate a N2K sensor on the CanBus? I want to simulate a Wind Sensor, so I am looking for something which can broadcast messages and pretend to be a fully compliant N2K wind sensor where I can manually input values for it to broadcast onto the network. I am using the HALPI-CM4 from Hat Labs....

OpenCollective - Known CC issues?

Hi, I recently signed up as a monthly supporter for SignalK. After the first booking my bank immediately canceled my Creditcard (Visa) without warning as their fraud department came into alert. Did this happen to someone else before?...

Gracefully shutdown OS utilizing SignalK

Hello. I am running SignalK on Raspberry PI4 (Debian Bookworm). SignalK is monitoring boat house battery (using Victron VE direct). I would like to gracefully shutdown the OS when house battery goes below specific limits (e.g. 11.2 Volts). What is the best practice for that? Is there some plugin available? Should I use some external cron script? What to google? I would not like to use additional hardware (Raspberry UPS HAT etc).

Server stopped logging.

Not sure why, but my server is no longer logging to the filesystem. I have debug logging on for a variety of plugins, they used to log, they do not any longer. Also, for some reason the server setting section of the UI, where you configure logging, always says (restart required). Not sure if this is normal or not. Any thoughts? As an aside, the UI log window works fine and I see the messages happily trudging along....

Collecting data from Furuno SC-70

Hey I would like to collect data from a Furuno SC-70 Satelitte compass. Can I use the Shipboard network (AMS, etc.) (IEC61162-450) connector to connect it directly to my laptop with a ethernet cable and read the data with Signal K? Link to full SC-70 manual: https://www.furuno.com/files/Manual/198/upload/OME72820K_SC70_130.pdf...

WilhelmSK on IOS error

I am having a problem with WilhelmSK on my IOS devices. I keep getting the following error message: “Signal K - Output stream end encountered” Maybe related to latest IOS 18.1 update, as it has always worked great. I can log onto Signalk server via web just fine. If this is the wrong place to post, please point me in the right direction....

NMEA to Serial to SignalK

Hey. So I’m just looking to set up a signal K server on an intel nuc. I plan to have the NMEA data come through in a NMEA to serial plug. Then serial to usb into the intel NUC running Signal K. Will this work?
