Twocan - a new Plugin

[stevead]

The current version of OpenCPN 5.8.x, does support NMEA 2000.

Refer to the following post

For Windows & Mac users, the Actisense NGT-1 and Yacht Devices YDNU-02 adapters are supported.

For Linux devices, both of the above and any interface that supports SocketCAN are supported.

As has been stated before, only direct wired connections to the NMEA 2000 network are supported.

Neither OpenCPN nor TwoCan plugin support non-standard proprietary transmission of NMEA 2000 over TCP/IP (be it Ethernet or WiFi) or "wrapping" of NMEA 2000 messages within NMEA 183 sentences.

I wouldn't agree about direct wired connection, i have just succeeded to feed nmea2000 dump from my can bus home setup to the OpenCPN running on ubuntu laptop using Bluetooth serial custom made device which only uses incredible library from Timo Lappalainen with just one major line

NMEA2000.SetForwardStream(&SerialBT);

No, you are not missing anything.

Time, sailing commitments & holiday festivities permitting, I hope to publish a new release very soon.

For those that can't wait for an official release to the plugin manager catalogue, the v2.2 tarballs may be downloaded from cloudsmith
