Ship Simulator as a Plugin #5

Closed oxbown closed 8 months ago

oxbown commented 8 months ago

I´m digging in the code of ship_sim.py and I think that it is fascinating. Useful to test software, especially AvNav. It could be a good idea to separate the concept into a separate project. https://github.com/quantenschaum/mapping/blob/a5b6777950c2879dcc4b03a2fcbab57a37d285fe/ship_sim.py

Similar to https://opencpn.org/OpenCPN/plugins/shipdriver.html Ais targets could follow a route defined in a json file for example.

little exaggerated

Useful to test software, especially AvNav.

That was the intention, a simple script to feed meaningful and reproducible data into AvNav or other software to test them at home.

It could be a good idea to separate the concept into a separate project.

Yes, starting as single file project...

Thanks for the link, didn't know that before.

Sure, there is much room for improvement.

Ship Simulator as a Plugin

You mean, it should be turned into a plugin for AvNav?

quantenschaum commented 8 months ago

That is possible. The simulated ship(s) could controlled via a config file that the user can edit in the web UI and the "autopilot" (ship goes to next waypoint).

This is the idea, the waypoints could be in a closed loop so the ship will make an endless route.

Could be or not...
