BlueOS Extension for Water Linked Underwater GPS

Using NMEA messages with external mode #2

Closed clydemcqueen closed 1 year ago

clydemcqueen commented 1 year ago

We would like to configure the G2 to use external GPS and heading information from one or more NMEA 2000 sensors.

Ideally, the blueos-ugps-extension would listen for the appropriate NMEA messages and call the /api/v1/external/master API. In my proposed configuration, I would be sending NMEA 0183 GGA and HDG sentences in UDP packets from a YDEN-02 Ethernet Gateway.

BlueOS provides an NMEA injection service that might be a good reference.

Please reference this thread on the BR forums.

Is this something you'd like to see in this extension? I'm happy to help develop this, test it, and so forth.

I wrote a few scripts to test NMEA injection. We tested this on a vessel with an NMEA 2000 network. https://github.com/clydemcqueen/wl_ugps_external

A few questions:

Thanks.

I created a simple BlueOS extension to run this script and provide a simple UI. https://github.com/bluerobotics/BlueOS-Extensions-Repository/pull/73

I'll close this out.

Hi Clyde, just to follow up on this: It is best if you use the official water linked support for questions where you get a reply in 1-2 workdays.
