Programmable Maritime Application System Based on Raspberry Pi Supports NMEA 2000 Functionality
NMEA 2000 is a marine networking standard created and administered by the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA). The NMEA is an association of marine electronics manufacturers, dealers, and technicians. The NMEA 2000 standard describes a low-cost, moderate capacity, bi-directional, multi-transmitter, multi-receiver instrument network. Typical data on a network using this standard include: Position latitude and longitude. GPS status. Steering [...]
