Sending Signalk data via USB

[p-neves]

Hi all:

We have a Raspberry Pi running Signal K connected to our vessel's network, using an Actisense NGT-1. With this, Signal K receives data from all the NMEA 2000 equipment on the vessel (VHF/AIS, MFD's, GNSS, compass, etc.). Also connected to Signal K (via TCP connection) we have an Hemisphere R632 GNSS, that sends dGPS data via NMEA0183.

We'd like to know if it's possible (and if yes, how to configure it) to send this dGPS data to the NMEA2000 network via the Actisense NMEA to USB conversor (which shows up on the raspberry as /dev/ttyUSB0) so that this higher precision GNSS could be used as source by other instruments (e.g the MFD).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Pedro

Use the signalk-to-nmea2000 plugin.

You may also need to use the Actisense NMEA Reader software to configure it to TX(transmit) those pgns.

Hi Scott:

Thanks a lot. I've enabled the TX pgns with the Reader Software. I've also installed the Signal K to nmea 2000 plugin. I'll try it later on and get back to you guys.

Cheers:
Pedro
