I might be missing something but in the Leeway calculation in the derived-data plugin it uses requires [navigation.headingMagnetic(đź‘Ť), navigation.courseOverGroundTrue(đź‘Ť)] but it doesnt ask for magneticVariation. This seems to me like the Magnetic value is being subtracted from the True value which correlates with the results i'm seeing being about 15 degrees more than i would expect (which is the Magnetic Variation where i am)

Hi all. I have a new KIP version coming. It’s significantly different and I can’t create an upgrade path worth the trouble.
Since user don’t read any release notes or documentation for that matter, what’s the best release approach? Create a new app so both product can live side by side?...

I'm working on new API docs that will replace the built-in server docs. You can browse a WIP build here[1]. There's still a lot of work to do (especially to clean up the generated API docs), but I'd love feedback on the PR[2].
Specifically, I am focusing my attention around Plugin [3], and ServerAPI [4], but open to any and all suggestions.

Has anyone managed to run s57-tiler on a Mac (M1) or Raspberry Pi? The repo recommended by Freeboard-SK docs (https://github.com/wdantuma/s57-tiler) only works for amd64 and I don't have such a machine at hand...

I'm using AIS-Reporter to send AIS positions to Marine Traffic. All seems to be working fine except Marine Traffic only seems to receive 1 (and very occasionally 2) distinct vessels (and that 1 is mine). There are plenty of other vessels being received (viewable in Freeboard SK and i'm also sending it to OpenCPN). Any suggestions why the other vessels arent being sent? (all being received via NMEA 2000)

When source priorities is set for a certain path,is it still possible to also access the same path but from another source?
The background for this question can be found in tge link below. Basically it is someone that uses two direction sensors to calculate mast rotation using a plugin. These two different sensors mess up another plugin. If source priorities is set then the second plugin performs fine but the first plugin no longer functions because it cannot access the heading sensor in the mast.

I need a tester for my REC BMS app, does anyone here have the 1Q 16 cell version of the BMS and want to help test the serial connection side of my app I just finished? I only have the 4 cell Active BMS to test with. Hit me up if you want to test and have the bandwidth to go back and forth with me.

For my TrackViewer plugin, I need to configure my ng build to output the correct file/folder structure as spec'd for a SK plugin. Currently I have the viewer in one repo as standalone app and the plugin in another repo, where I just copy the output of the viewer build. (That's what I 'npm publish'). It would be better to have it all in one repo with a 'skplugin' and a 'standalone' build target. Can anyone recommend examples or docs?

I wrote a polar recording plugin. Initially it was just for me, but me, but if you might find it intesresting, and someone can help me with publishing to npm, i'll gradly share!
It can display current polar, as well as any recorded polar. Polars can be recorded incrementally, or a totally new table. It also displays the current TWA/TWS/Speed point so you can check how good is your performance...

I think this must be asked before but I can't find it. Is there any way to use o-chart maps with Freeboard-SK. I'm aware of all legal stuff, but thought that it could be used in AvNav via dongle, why not in Freeboard?

I'm trying to import a GPX track in FreeboardSK, but I'm getting "Completed with errors! Not all resources were loaded". As is seems, no resources were loaded at all. Where can I find more details?

I published an updated tides plugin, forked from signalk-tides-api which no longer works. It's basically a full rewrite that gets it working again, and also adds
tides to the resource API. Thoughts or feedback are welcome! https://www.npmjs.com/package/signalk-tides
Up next, I'll be replacing my broken analog tide clock wih a digital one that now auto-updates when we move!...AdrianP - MOB (POB) Notification dataThe Notif...
MOB (POB) Notification data
The Notification specification is silent on how to provide additional data in notifications. This has left it up to plugins and apps to do their own thing, which is fine for most cases but not for Alarms such as Person Overboard.
There is an outstanding Freeboard-SK issue regarding the "alignment" of MOB notifications from various sources, so in an attempt to get alignment here is my proposed
MOB Alarm notification to allow us to move forward (and inform any update to the spec) :

{...Copprhead - Is there a library that helps with ...
Is there a library that helps with simplifying a track like the ones we collect with our boats, to remove times at anchor? My raw track is of several days and I would like to divide that into segments which show only the tracks of sailing.
My own idea was to simplify the track with turf.simplify, this creates gaps in the places where the positions are close to each other (-> anchoring). Then I'm parsing the track looking at the timestamps of the points and when I see too much separation, I interpret that as "new segment". It works somewhat, but the resulting track still shows some anchoring positions. Maybe there's a smarter way that takes into account how close the positions are to each other, not only the time....

I'm finally wrapping my app switcher webapp / html into a SK webapp. It's basically an index.html, a script.js, some images and a stylesheet. I followed the documentation, put my stuff in /public, added /plugin/index.js. In index.js I have access to "app", but how can I access "app" in my script.js which is run when the html is loaded?

Hi everyone, were using signal-k with the freeboard app. Everything works wonderfull, but were having an issue that the default OSM chart is very bright. I have been looking for 'mapstyles (?)' so I can make it a bit darker, but i really cant figure out how to do this. Im trying to use the chart-plugin. What settings do i need to make this work?
