Engine/Tanks levels/Power generation widgets

[mgrouch]

It would be useful to add Engine/Tanks levels/Power generation widgets

Here are some ideas for layouts from another project

Thanks!

Hi @mgrouch,

Can you confirm the signalk paths you're seeing and their units?

Do they conform to the signalk spec?

Picture 1:

• RPM - propulsion.*.revolutions
• Degrees C - propulsion.*.temperature
• psi - propulsion.*.oilPressure

Picture 2:

• Battery % - electrical.batteries.*.capacity.stateOfCharge or electrical.batteries.*.capacity.remaining
• PV - electrical.solar.*.voltage and electrical.solar.*.current
• AC Load - electrical.inverters.*.dc.voltage and electrical.inverters.*.dc.current
• DC Load - electrical.batteries.*.voltage and electrical.batteries.*.current

Picture 3:

• Grey - tanks.wasteWater.*.currentLevel
• Black - tanks.blackWater.*.currentLevel
• Fresh - tanks.freshWater.*.currentLevel
• Fuel - tanks.fuel.*.currentLevel
• Lube - tanks.lubrication.*.currentLevel

They might not be compliant to the spec. If people take them from Victron they are on different paths. So I think you can code with SignalK defaults but let user to override paths.

Thanks

I've looked at 3.0.3.0

Few more would be nice:

• Exhaust Temperature (in Engine group)
• Fridge Temperature (in Environment)
• Battery Bank Temperature (in Electrical)
• Solar Current (in Electrical)
• Shore Power Current (in Electrical)
• Rate of Turn (in Boat)
• Fuel Burn Rate (in Engine)
• Bilge Level

Can tanks be displayed in %? And full capacity just somewhere as a small number if set? It would be more universal as pre-set.

There will be need to digital switching as well. To turn on/off nav lights etc.

I've started work on NMEA 0183 XDR sensors on esp32. Mostly on m5stack platform. I've coded about 18 already.

I'm planning eventually to combine them into just few devices with pre-compiled binaries for m5stack esp32:

Thanks for the great work on this!
