This is ruby code which uses TCP sockets to parse NMEA0183 sentences (currently only RMB/XTE) sent by OpenCPN and coverts them to NMEA2000 and sends to autopilot via Actisense NGT-1-USB
It was tested only with Simrad AP26 and OpenCPN 4.0+
It is still a spike with only minor tests coverage and still needs some work to become publicly used software
The code relies on Canboat:
- It expects that n2kd_monitor is already running and tries to connect to it as a client
cp config.yml.default config.ymland modify it to define host and ports and where pgns.json is placed- Modify
conversion.ymlif you need more sentences to be converted (syntax and logic explanation TBA)
./bin/hello-boat or ./bin/hello-boat >> hello-boat.log & to run it in background
Tests can be run by rake task. Though one test is still failing and more tests need to be written including code refactoring
