New Beta release of bt-sensors-plugin-sk
Looks great! Anyone tried sending data to the app over bluetooth (BLE?) from an esp32? And would it be a better option so the raspberry pi has less wifi connections to deal with? I've 3 esp32's sending data over udp to a Pi4. So far..... 😂

Copprhead - Is there a library that helps with ...
another option to try could be load vscode with the gemini code completion extension then spend 10 mintes describing exactly what you would like to do and get it to write some python. Only played around a bit so far but it seems to often nail it straight away or if not paste any error messages in & it will fix them. Might have a play later, cut into 2 where speed is below xx & positions are within xxx within 20 minutes of xxx. It will write a window with menus to load & look at GPX. We are all coders now, just need to create the right prompts 😎 This is one Ai written to look at waypoint symbols https://i.imgur.com/xqg0a2u.png

I just use opencpn to "top and tail" before saving tracks. In track properties highlight a track point and click split, usually easy to see when the boat is moored by the speed. It's part of the end of passage check sheet.

Is it possible to connect to a node red dashboard without loging in
setting a static ip address on the Pi worked ages ago when I had a play but android changes often, for a while you couldn't get at ssh or data through a phone hotspot from another device connected to the phone.

Is it possible to connect to a node red dashboard without loging in
one not very good option is have the Pi both create a hotspot and log on to the phone at the same time with the onboard wifi adaptor, which is a bit unstable. Or maybe splash out on a usb wifi adaptor. I never have the Pi attached to internet unless doing an update so not a problem, though istr in the past setting a fixed ip address on the Pi, an Ai would explain how to do this.

Slow replay of nmea-0183 log file
opencpn has a vdr plugin which can replay 0183 with variable speed playback you could point at signalk. Also the sigk sim app can be useful though that's sigk data.

SignalK and microPython
I use UDP to send which seems to work OK,
def insertIntoSigKdata(self, path, value):
_sigKdata = { "updates": [ {"values":[] }]} _sigKdata["updates"][0]["values"].append( {"path":path, "value": value }) self.sendToUDP(ujson.dumps(_sigKdata),'10.10.10.1', self.conf['sigK_udp-port'])
try: self.debugPrint1(_sigKdata) except Exception as e: print("debug print error=",e)
def sendToUDP(self, message, udpAddr, udpPort): try: s = usocket.socket(usocket.AF_INET, usocket.SOCK_DGRAM) s.sendto(message, (udpAddr, int(udpPort))) s.close() except Exception as e: print("UDP sending error=",e) pass

if there are equivalent 0183 sentences then have a look at the "Convert Signal K to NMEA0183" app, N2k coming in should get converted to signalk
