    NMEA 0183 to WiFi

    Yes I did see that. We are working to add many of those functions to ours but through an App interface.

    NMEA 0183 to WiFi

    Yes and no. It will connect up your instruments to display data via wifi just fine, however it will not solve your multiplexing issue for interfacing the instruments with each other and make your HDS overlay properly. To tie your instruments together I would recommend an Actisense NDC-4-AIS...

    NMEA 0183 to WiFi

    The issue with this approach is that you are stuck using the Raymarine App. If you want to run iRegatta it is not open, also it is not open to parsing the instrument data to improve sailing apps in the future. Having the link as open as possible is needed to foster an environment where app...

    NMEA 0183 to WiFi

    We need to spend a little more time editing our technical stuff. Truth be told we have tested our box on as much as 35 volts and as little as five. We tried to make it rubust and able to handle irregular voltages that occur from the different wiring that exists out there.

    NMEA 0183 to WiFi

    Portability will be the biggest issue as each time you change boats you will have to wire into the new boat's NMEA port and power so the installations may be different. We make a WiFi device but it is more expensive than the Digital Yacht. However it has two 0183 ports that both have...

    I use it with the DMK Box and its GPS. It makes a wifi connection directly between the touch and my instruments. This way I have a rapid update GPS and the wind data tied in to make the most of the app. It's been cool to build the polars as well.

    Congratulations on the victory! I use an iPod touch. However it is not too sunny up here in Seattle lately. The biggest issue I had was making sure my fingers were warm enough to hit the timer on time. I was late and there is not a good way to reset the timer a minute short. However in...

    I'm using iRegatta 3.0 with my DMK Box and it is working very well for startline countdowns. I've taken some vids of us starting that I want to get up on U-tube soon to show how well it works. It takes some practice though as you need a rough idea of how fast you will get to the line once you...

    Regatta instruments for a 26 footer (long-keeled)

    Hello Harzack, Along with Vela's recomendations may I also suggest interfacing the stuff with an iPad or iPhone. If you have NMEA 0183 instruments than you can use an app like iRegatta to do many of the calculations you seek. I sell the DMK Box that is an interface and there are others on the...

    dmk box

    It works with the Mac Mini using ENC just through a wireless connection. The Android stuff is a little late developing because it was not until Android 4 with that we could establish a UDP connection. More stuff with Android is in the works though as well a product to help developers make...

    dmk box

    I wish I had been posting on the forums back then because I could have maybe made a case for our product. Folks get all too ready to run wires to there PC's through USB. The beauty of wifi is you can communicate without wires to laptops, tough books, and tablets at the same time. You also...

    iPad and racing

    We make a Wifi Box that will get the information from most types of boats instruments to the iPad. I use it with iRegatta and iNavX as well. Both of those apps though need 0183 Data to work. For Raymarine Seatalk owners there is a $160 converter that will make the Seatalk wind and stuff and...

    Android Tablet Recommendations

    We are working on an Android version using the Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. This was the first Android system that is compatible with our UDP packets that we broadcast. Before that the Android stuff required a TCP connection which was a direction we did not want to go because it was...

    It is possible today to do much of that today. We sell a box that we are soon to advertise on sailing anarchy that connects your tablet to the boat using UDP packets. (very fast data rate) Getting routes to the chartplotter will happen in the future I bet but a solution requires a software...

    race instruments, tablets and software

    We have it working for some customers but ran into issues with different hardware all being a little different with the DHCP assignment. Because we are just a three person company we decided to focus on what we had tested very well which was an ad-hoc connection for smaller boats. However...

    race instruments, tablets and software

    Hyerstay, Thanks for liking our stuff. The priorities we had when developing the DMK Box was to make it reliable and simple to use for non computer people. I was painting boat bottoms when we first started the project. DMK is developing an infrastructure mode for our box that will take care...
