Hello fellow sailors/boaters!
Hello fellow sailors/boaters!
I'm pleased to announce new version 1.25 of SKipper app has been released to all users. I would like to thank everyone that downloaded the app and are using it! Appreciate it! 🙏
NEW
- Touch gestures - added new support for touch gestures! You can enable/disable them in the settings. When enabled, you can pull from all sides of the screen to make some action!
- Sounds - notifications are no longer silent; support for sounds specific to warning, alert+alarm and emergency states!
- Vector Image control - this new control allows you to show custom icons, gauges and system status dashboards! All you need is to create an SVG and use SKipper Instructions to put Signal K data into it!
- Autopilot control- SKipper actions (driven by button) allows user to control Signal K autopilot plugin - support for Signal K Autopilot API with automatic detection. (Confirmed working with PyPilot and Autopilot plugin.)
- Anchor watch control - SKipper actions (driven by button) allow user to enable and configure anchor watch using Anchor alarm plugin!
- Boat image and indicators - you can now change the boat image for the Modern Compass and add boat status by placing multiple indicators showing your boat status at a glance!
- Fluid Gauge - new fluid gauge that is great for showing tank level with liquid-like animation.
- SKipper paste - now you can share pages with friends via a SKipper-run online service. It's open source and available here: [https://github.com/SKipperDevelopers/skipper-paste]
- Instructions converter - This is a preview of using the Instructions runtime to modify Signal K data in SKipper. For now, you can use if value, value in range and output instructions. More about SKipper Instructions is available at Instructions.
- Graph - New property "line thickness" that allows you to change the graph line thickness to a user-defined value.
- Button - added Confirm action property that will make SKipper ask for confirmation when clicking on button. Valuable for potentially dangerous actions or the system shutdown button.
- Templates - added new templates for Autopilot control Page, anchor alarm Page and solar charging Page (a vector image that can be customized by the user).
- Signal K server - added a "Switch server" option that will allow you to switch between servers. more
FIXED
- TitleValue - when Signal K value changes to null, TitleValue will now present this as --.
- Notifications - notifications with Alert, Alarm, and Emergency stay for 15 minutes; Warning will show only for 10 seconds.
- Graph - Zones - fixed colors for Alert and Emergency.
- Dark Red theme makes the Icons bar color red.
- Android - fixed compatibility with Android 15 and 16 where keyboard didn't work as expected.
Thanks,

Preview video of new features is available here: https://vhsky.cz/w/7r4qdma58UiNp252qZHcZZ
Here is documentation for SKipper instructions, check this out: https://docs.skipperapp.net/instructions/
You can make your own dashboards, simple gauges from SVG documents. That gives you power to create your own very customized UI elements that will make your SKipper experience your own!
