Skybolt - Regarding the signalk to nmea2000 plu...

Regarding the signalk to nmea2000 plugin - I have the wind pgn 130306 defined in all three locations I have tried enabling differ ones individually and also all at once. No matter what enabled or defined there is no 130306 PGN found on the NMEA 2000 bus. I have looked using multiple analyzers, Maretron, Actisense and Scott Benders internal plugin. I am using these paths which have data in them: self.environment.forecast.wind.speed self.environment.forecast.wind.gust self.environment.forecast.wind.direction Am I missing something?...

anyone got an idea where those messages might be coming from?

oh, that's funny: i restarted the signalk-server after a change to the can0 connection settings, and... the flood of heartbeat messages stopped. looks like "src":102 is signalk?!

looks like my AIS transceiver (amec camino-108) something is flooding the n2k bus with hundreds of "heartbeat" messages every second: `{"pgn":126993,"prio":7,"src":102,"dst":255,"timestamp":"2025-10-28T20:03:57.482Z","input":["can0 1df01166 [8] 70 17 c7 cf ff ff ff ff"],"description":"Heartbeat","fields":{"Data transmit offset":"00:01:00","Sequence Counter":199,"Equipment Status":"Operational"},"id":"heartbeat"} {"pgn":126993,"prio":7,"src":102,"dst":255,"timestamp":"2025-10-28T20:03:57.482Z","input":["can0 1df01166 [8] 70 17 8f cf ff ff ff ff"],"description":"Heartbeat","fields":{"Data transmit offset":"00:01:00","Sequence Counter":143,"Equipment Status":"Operational"},"id":"heartbeat"}...

i just noticed on my SK dashboard that there were between 800 and 1200 messages per second(!) coming in on the can0 (n2k) interface

I would have liked to test and use it, but Victron OS Large V3.63 still installs the now out-of-date SK 2.13.5.

I have created a new tool for analyzing NMEA 2000 data in SK server I would appreciate any testing and feedback.. This requires signalk-server 2.15.0-beta.6...

I am in the market for an interface between my NMEA2000 network and my signalk server on a windows industrial PC. I want the interface to go via (isolated) USB or ethernet (not wifi) and I do not want NMEA0183 as an intermediate protocol. I also want it to be bidirectional as I want signalk to provide true wind and performance data. Any recomendations?

Chris BHR - Next issue and not a Signal K issue...

Next issue and not a Signal K issue but hopefully ok to post here but since adding the Cerbo (and also replacing a dodgy Devicenet connector) the network will be working fine and then randomly blow the 3A fuse for the network (done it twice now). I've put my meter on it and the network is drawing a pretty consistent 720mA although the Actisense Toolkit says the network LEN is 102550mA!! Any suggestions of what might be going on?

Chris BHR - I've just setup a new Cerbo and i'm...

I've just setup a new Cerbo and i'm getting limited data through from the NMEA2k/CANbus interface. Everything else on the network is talking to each other and i'm seeing data from a couple of devices which is odd as i would have expected it to be all or nothing. Looking through the logs i have found an error on the CANbus interface

Tony - Is there a way to capture PGNs and debug...

Is there a way to capture PGNs and debug additional fields? I am connected to a Mercury CAN gateway for an outboard. I am getting some of the parsed values from PGN 127489 (Dynamic Engine Parameters) but not everything is being converted. I would like to be able to see each update and if parsing fails or is skipped. There is a rapid update on that PGN, but only a handful of conversions happening. I expect voltage, coolant temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature, etc. but only getting fuel rat...

@Scott Bender any idea why this is failing? https://github.com/SignalK/n2k-signalk/actions/runs/10655284643/job/29532607349 the test passed on my machine with stale deps, but started failing with fresh deps...

Does anyone have an example (maybe a Github repo) of an RPI app that uses the ttlappalainen NMEA2000 library?
