Looking for influxb example

I've got a lot of data recorded about my boat in influxdb v1.8. I'd like to write some python scripts to extract various data such as position, speed, wind, etc. and process in various ways. Can anyone point me to some examples of python scripts that could extract a series of navigation.position values?...

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?

SignalK set up to send data to my B&G setup for the performance plugin by @HansT. When I reboot, this happens more often than not. How do I avoid?

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. ...

B&G Performance Plugin

Hi @HansT. I've been messing around with your plugins and trying to get them to work. (Lately too much time spent doing actual sailing though...) Last week when racing I noticed that my B&G countdown race timer didn't work. It ticked down one second and then stopped. I tried all the B&G settings and wondered if I might have caused it by using other than the default 5 min count down, but no results there. Not only until I ran my B&G plotters/triton without signalK did I get a working countdown. I...

Multiplexing Seatalk

Does signal k have a means of outputting Seatalk on a GPIO port (as it is able to take it in)? Or would I need some form of nmea0183 to Seatalk converter?

Restart Signalk when can01 is "lost"

Is it possible to trigger an restart of the signalk service when a connection is lost? i.e. no data is recieved as in the screenshot? The reason being is that after the can01 is lost, the derived-data plugin continues to calculate incorrect values, based on latest measurments from the can01 (along with other gps data?). See screenshot for forther details. Restart the service will stop the derived-data from computing. Thanks!...

No SignalK on N2K

Installed new Vulcan plotters and did some general maintenance. Now I can't get signlk data to my plotters. I do get nmea data on my signalk server and the candump is humming and spinning like a cat. Signalk used to be available in my device list on my old plotter, but not now. Even after a refresh. Any ideas about where to start troubleshooting?...
