@Ilker signalk-windy plugin updated the plugin today - all good. Question: there are two fields in the PI config .. “provider” .. “website” ...

How to handle duplicate paths? My advanced wind plugin can correct apparent wind (for leeway, mast height, etc). As a result, the apparent wind path is found twice, although coming from different sources. What is the preferred way to deal with this? Should the plugin always remove the uncorrected delta's, should this be optional, or should the two delta's coexist?

Has anyone gone through the process of migrating from influxdb v1.8 to v2.x? I've got a lot of data in the existing V1.8 database that I would like to bring forward into 2.x. This page looks promising, (https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2/install/upgrade/v1-to-v2/automatic-upgrade/) but I wonder if anyone here has actually done it and what issues they may have run into.

I published a new plugin that calculates true wind while, optionally, applying corrections for mast rotation, vessel roll and pitch, leeway, upwash and sensor height.

Is there a signalk plugin or button to shutdown the system?

Location of wind sensor. I would like to use the location (espacially heigt above waterline) of the windsensor(s) for wind calibration. I want wind speed calculated to 10 meter above water level to make it directly comparable to wind speed used in polar. I cannot find this information in the keys reference. I found fromBow and fromCenter, but not fromWaterline or similar. Did I overlook something? If not, how can I add this key to the keys?

I've lost sun & moon times, sure there was an app to add sun/moon rise & sets times etc, can't find it now 🤔

async restart

2) I got the impression that when submitting changes through the plugin config that the plugin can restart while it has not jet finished stopping. Can this be true? Can I prevent this?

More questions on my nmea-streamer plugin. So I got my plugin working and I added a nice webapp to control the behaviour of the plugin. Along the way I got some questions.

When I create a new plugin, what is the best file location to do so? I am a bit confused where to place my nodejs plugin, can I use any directory or is it better to use a subdirectory of .signalk? (I use windows 11 if that matters)

Anyone experience building plugin for bow thruster proportional control through v-can protocol (proprietary by Vetus - but they have a NMEA2000 integration box to convert that protocol to NMEA2000)? I would love to create my own remote control for a bow thruster that is proportional. Currently they only have on/off full thrust.

I'm writing a client that needs to talk to the REST API of the Logbook plugin. Turns out this only works for admin-level users. That's somewhat dangerous

naugehyde - A problem with usb3 and Bluetooth L...

A problem with usb3 and Bluetooth LE sensors came up recently with one of the plugin's testers. Basically, running a USB device off one of the rpi4b's USB 3 slots will cause significant interference with nearby Bluetooth devices as well as any GPS and other BTLE peripherals that are within 2 meters of the rpi4b. I've attached a link to a discussion on another forum that discusses the problem and provides a potential remedy....
