DashboardSK

[Schnapsy]

The NSK_pi plugin allows to transform certain NMEA0183 sentences into SignalK for display in DashboardSK

But it seems to me that the SOG displayed by the dashboardSK plugin is different from that displayed by the classic dashboard (almost half less), using the necessary transformation function "m/s → kn"

To check, I wanted to compile the NSK_pi plugin, changing:
//#define kn2ms(x) (0.51444444444 * (x))
#define kn2ms(x) (1.94384 * (x))
#define kmh2ms(x) (0.27777777778 * (x)

Also, scrupulously respecting the indications, I also wanted to add the sentences MWV and MWD.

But I can't compile this plugin, while I compile the other plugins without any problem (windows 10).

A few observations:

- in the statement:
git clone --recurse-submodules git://github.com/nohal/nsk_pi.git
cd nsk_pi
mkdir build
cd build
cmake..
make, I had to replace make with "cmake ."

- in the statement :
pip3 install pre-commit
cd <nsk_pi source directory>
pre-commit install
I have an error message for the 3rd line (pre-commit install) and yet in C:\...\...\nsk_pi\.git\hooks, I find among other things "pre-commit.sample" ...

In short, at the end of the compilation, I have error messages in particular:

C:\Users\Alain\OCNplugins\nsk_pi\include\nskgui.h( 10,10): fatal error C1083: Could not open include file: 'wx/artprov.h': No such file or directory [C: \Users\Alain\OCNplugins\nsk_pi\build\NSK_pi.vcxpro j]

C:\Users\Alain\OCNplugins\nsk_pi\src\nsk_pi.cpp(27 ,10): fatal error C1083: Unable to open include file: 'marnav/nmea/angle.hpp': No such file or directory [ C:\Users\Alain\OCNplugins\nsk_pi\build\NSK_pi.vcxp roj] [C:\Users\Alain\OCNplugins\nsk_pi\build\tarball-build.vcxproj]

etc (see attached file).

Until I succeed in compiling, would it be possible to check the display of the SOG?
And if anyone managed to add new sentences, I'm interested.

FWIW I can't reproduce your problem, the conversion in NSK_pi does exactly what it is supposed to do and the m/s -> kt transformation in DashboardSK as well (see the attached screenshot).

The conversion from knots to meters per second is either MperS=KTS*0.51444444444 or MperS=KTS/1.94384, what you are trying to do (MperS=KTS*1.94384) is plain wrong and even if there was a bug somewhere, it is not a fix for it.

I will provide explicit instructions to build these plugins on Windows as soon as I have some time, please stay tuned.

I also much prefer communicating issues with the plugins via their respective Github projects.

Thanks

Hello Pavel and thank you for your answer.

I understand that for the compilation of this plugin, I am missing elements of understanding and I will therefore wait.
In the end, there is nothing urgent about it.

For the SOG display, I was not precise enough.
When I choose the VTG sentence (as in your screenshot), the SOG display matches +/- the Dashboard display, but this is not the case when I choose the RMC sentence.
But as I use different ".txt" files that I read with the VDR plugin, I will in the meantime continue my investigations on this display and compare/check the quality of these files.

To react live on this plugin, I don't know how Github works but I'll look at how to participate.

That said, even if it is only "cosmetic" for some, this DashboardSK plugin really improves the display of data in OpenCPN.

The bug in RMC sentence conversion is fixed in NSK version 0.2.2 now available in the master catalog. I have also added instructions to build on Windows to the README document, let me know if they work for you as I'm not using Windows very often.

Hum, sorry Pavel, NSK 0.2.2 is not present in the master catalog.

[nohal]

It sure is there for me, did you update the catalog?

It works perfectly, bravo Pavel !

Now, with your newest instructions on github, i will give a try for compiling again and adding sentences to this perfect plugin.

Oups, sorry Pavel. It is. I must have forgotten to update the catalog.

When will DashboardSK Plugin work on the OpenCPN android version. Really like on windows and would love to use it on my tablet.

When I have time to make it work there. Sure not before OpenCPN 5.10 is released.
