Ok, that explains.

On caching, it should not be a problem, it can cache data for more than a year as long as there is enough space on the Pi. And the space it uses for every record is trivial, so this should practically be a non-issue.

@admin
Thank you, I will try to update.

Best regards,

Enjoy your new boat!

Hello,
I would love to have this feature too !

Maybe you can rely on this plugin, which already provides informations about boat state :
https://github.com/meri-imperiumi/signalk-autostate

You just have to get the "navigation.state" path to know if boat is motoring.

@mshulman Unfortunately, that is by design for now. There are a couple of things that make it tricky. Units are shared across all values in a block, so displaying a 38 F and 32% in the same block becomes fairly complicated, both for conversions that need to take place (i.e. SK uses kelvin behind the scenes) and the display on the page. That is the reason blocks share a single unit at this point.

@Brazen-Article , that can be done but requires some thinking. We will file a feature for backlog.

Hello,

For the GPX track, it's an export from TZ Iboat app. I'll send it by mail tonight. I also have other GPX files from my Yach Device router. I'll send it too when I get it.

But I'm sure I will have some trips where I'll have no log at all, whatever the reason (bug, electronic issue, small trip whithout powering on instrument, etc...). And I would love to track it, as I would do it in a real Logbook.

Of course, all informations would have to be entered manually, and automations will not work. Don't you think it's a real use case ?

Yes, clicking the save button directly after the timelapse loads after customizing it doesn't produce the same downloaded video as what's rendered online. It looks like it might just be the zoom level that isn't being respected. The speed and map type all seem save correctly.

Thank you @mmor for the feature requests, these are very valuable! We will definitely keep these in mind while prioritizing our development.

And thank you @andreshs1 for chiming in for the feature to monitor additional information. I think this is emerging as a a common request (@Incentive also raised similar a request in a different thread). Getting the UX right for this is non-trivial but we are thinking of ways to enable it. The new monitoring UX will help here. More to come on this!

Thank you for your consideration.

I, too, agree that the UI needs to be clean.

Perhaps just add them to the History section of the Monitoring tab? Ideally, it would be on the main page so those tracking us could see them, but if they're nerdy enough they can click through to see the more granular data.

Done! Thank you very much. That was an easy fix and simply required power to my course computer.

I'm running (right now) on a raspberry pi zero w. After this message, I got a node kernel panic and I had to restart the pi. I think that the poor thing just ran out of resources (threads or whatever). I don't think I was doing anything in particular that caused this error Yes, the plugin and server stopped working.

Now that I've recovered from this error, I'm not seeing it again.

Thank you, that fixed the problem. Sorry my bad.

Thanks, I found a problem with one of the gps sources. Turned it off and Saillogger shows correct heading.
I'm underway now and boat speed is showing up, I'll check the log tonight. Attached is a screenshot from yesterday's log showing zero. It has been showing correctly while moving but zero on the processed log for the last several days.

Thanks !

Thank you for the feedback Peter. We just pushed a change to keep the info box in the direction of the boat is heading, keeping the track visible. Let us know if it improves the experience.

Hi Otto, yes totally fine to bring these discussions here. We called this “community” for a specific reason, even if a topic is tangentially related to Saillogger or Signal K platform, it will benefit our comunity.

On your question, we are not aware of anything that is off the shelf ready to use as a wind instrument outside of boat network. The closest is possibly the Signal K Ecowitt
plugin I had developed a while back. This allows integrating Ecowitt weather gateway and temperature sensors to Signal K and as a result to Saillogger. Ecowitt has a wind sensor too and it can be added to this plugin. However we don’t have or use that sensor so there are no plans to add support for it right now.

Independently, using a “home style” wind sensor has its challenges if mounted on a boat. They are designed to be mounted permanently so the readings would be relative to north while boat wind sensor readings will be relative to heading of the boat. So the software needs to be smart enough to normalize it but that normalization would require heading data too which will lost likely require NMEA network to be on anyways.

So all in all, keeping the NMEA network on might still be the simplest solution. We keep it on all the time and it actually doesn’t draw that much power unless you keep the MFD on as well, which is quite power hungry.

Hi Brian,

At the moment, we don’t offer an annual subscription due to accounting complexities.

However, please check out our partner program. By making referrals to Saillogger, you can cover the cost of your subscription or even add to your cruising budget!

Thank you for your kind words! We love Saillogger ourselves and we really enjoy to keep developing the product we use and love!

Hi Michael, this is because your account was canceled. Fortunately, your data has not been deleted yet, there is grace period between account cancelation and full removal of data.

We have re-enabled your account. You have a couple of days after linking it your monitoring device to activate the subscription. Good luck and welcome back to Saillogger!

Hi there thank you for the questions, this functionality already exists. You can click on the datapoint and it will open a popup that includes a button to delete that tracepoint. Here is a demo:

Saillogger delete datapoint/trackpoint demo

We will also add this to Support documents.
