Does anyone have a CAN to USB device that they like with good linux drivers? I thought I had one, but I can't build the ubuntu drivers for it.
big__col - I cant get N2K data into my SK serve...
I am getting other data into SK server from non-N2K devices, so i believe the Halmet to SK connection is working. It appears to only be a problem with N2K data not being fowarded to the SK server, or maybe i've missed some config on the SK server.
I've used the default/example firmware from Git, untouched.

Any recommendations for a way to determine when a small outboard is running? 8HP/6kW, no access to any spinning parts (except the prop). I was thinking maybe an IMU to detect vibration. Pull start, so no electrical/alternator, but maybe I could insert a voltage sensor between the magneto and the spark plug.

Having problems with SensESP and N2K connection. B&G Zeus can get some engine RPM readings from the ESP, but lists the device name as
??? and without any device info. Also I can't verify the actual data displayed yet since the boat is on land now, but at least the Zeus showed correctly 0 RPM. What might be the problem?
Here's the relevant code:

What’s a good Hall effect type sensor for reading rpm from the flywheel via a magnet? Ideally some analog type that can be powered from the esp32 pinout

@Matti Airas I need serial on the HALMET without using USB. I need receive NMEA0183 and have RS422 to TTL module already. Is it possible?

@Matti Airas, is there a way to measure the supply voltage on the engine HAT without using a separate analog input? I have a fuel tank sender that is piggybacking the existing wiring and so the reading changes depending on the supply voltage.

@Matti Airas not sure if it's the right channel, but I have the first generation of sailorHAT on a raspberry pi 4b. Would it work on raspberry pi 5?

I'm thinking it's not, but is the sensesp stack smart enough to handle two signalk servers? I've got one on my pi but I recently added it to my cerbo for the easy remote access. I'm guessing that it'll just select the first one it sees to ship data?

Anyone built an anchor chain counter? I'm thinking of just epoxying a magnet to my windlass and adding a reed switch to count the turns along with a voltage sense (divider) to tell me what direction it's going.

Has anyone looked at using temperature sensors to measure bilge water depth? I've been thinking it could be an interesting way to do it with solid state hardware. (no switch to foul) I believe that it's very rare that air temp matches water temperature.

I would like to use esp32 to read NMEA 0183 and send it to Signalk. I have purchased a RS422 module to read ttl but wondering the best way to send to signalk. Seems like the best option is TCP stream but not sure how to do that. Would I configure the esp32 as a web server and have signalk connect to it as a data source?

I want to capture data from the engine gauges, RPM, engine oil pressure, gearbox oil pressure, engine temp, alternator. Will all of these, apart from RPM, be of Analogue type when connecting to my Halmets input? I'm thinking of installing the pair of Halmets behind the instrument panel where the gauges are installed to take a signal at the gauges directly. Any issues with this approach?

Not really a signalk issue but latest upgrade to influxdb 2.7.5 seemed to break it, couldn't read from grafana & sigK Influxdb v2 stopped writing. Did a sudo apt install influxdb2=2.7.4-1 & it works again. Not looked further.

I am having to rebuild all my sensors using esp32s
I am getting very frustrated with the new SensESP and have gone back to the signal k application Template but can't get it to recognize and connect to the network or get it to talk to server. Have only implemented changes in code by using the set_wif and set_sk_server instructions....

I am going to prototype digital switching from an MFD to a relay pcb. I have seen a plugin for signalk that provides the pgns to the NMEA 2000 bus, but I am thinking that it’s possible to go directly from an esp32 with canbus to NMEA 2000 and have a secondary control from signalk in case another client can do virtual switching. Am I breaking ground on this concept or are there already projects that demonstrate this capability? I am also okay with using signalk to proxy if this is the only exampl...
