The VCC pin outputs 3.3 or 5V, selected by a switch inside the unit. Both should work whether power is provided from USB or the NMEA connector.


Make sure that the WiFi module is...

Re: dAISy Open Source AIS Receiver

As Dan stated, it's mainly due to the size of SO-239 panel mount connectors. I did go with BNC and SMA because adapters to these are readily available for virtually any RF standard.

I just checked...

Re: dAISy Open Source AIS Receiver

Thanks! :thumb:

Re: dAISy Open Source AIS Receiver

I'm not sure if Mattkab is still active on this forum, but I wanted to point out his latest blog post. It's an easy to follow recipe to setup an inexpensive chartplotter with OpenCPN, a Raspberry Pi...

Re: dAISy Open Source AIS Receiver

Not a stupid question at all.

There are two reasons for the warning:


USB and NMEA side are not isolated. Powering from both sides at the same time may work but could cause ground loops and...

Re: dAISy Open Source AIS Receiver

With the help of muttnik, I came up with the following udev rule that starts or restarts Kplex when dAISy is plugged into USB:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="16d0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0b03",...

Re: dAISy Open Source AIS Receiver

There was a question about the dAISy HAT from rgleason on another thread:


The Raspberry Pi can't be connected to a PC via USB directly. Most people set up the RPi as a NMEA server and make AIS...

I just received the first batch of assembled boards. It will take a week or two until the documentation is good enough for putting it up for sale on Tindie. But drop me a message if you want to get...

Re: dAISy Open Source AIS Receiver

That's a good write-up, should work even for Linux n00bs like myself :-)

Coincidentally, I'm currently working on a 2-channel receiver in the form factor of a Raspberry Pi HAT. ...

Re: dAISy Open Source AIS Receiver

The RS-422 driver consumes about 235mW, which is basically the difference when powered from the USB side.

When powered from 12V, the DC/DC converter is only about 80% efficient at that low...

I also added a DC/DC converter to power dAISy from 12V (or more, the...

Re: dAISy Open Source AIS Receiver

For those playing along at home, the circuit below makes the auxiliary serial output of dAISy usable for at least some NMEA 0183 devices. It was successfully tested with a vYacht WiFi router and a...

@aedanc reporting back on how your experiment with the Garmin goes would be great. Make sure to hook dAISy only to inputs, otherwise you might fry it. Connect dAISy TX to +...
