Saillogger Community

news: after the update saillogger restarted regularly in version 4.2.1. It seems everything is solved. I just hope VenusOs does not enter into crisis. Thanks for the prompt assistance

@wrwakefield I had no doubts that everything would be fine. These guys at Saillogger are very concrete and good. Hurray!

@admin I configured another "engine hours" data item, taking the same variable from SK, namely "Propulsion.Port.runTime." In fact, I now have two in my configuration. Both now work; even the one that wasn't previously recording data on the graph now records values ​​over time. I can say that the problem is solved. Thanks.

Hi JeremyJed, I either installed a Yanmar engine interface that sends engine data to the NMEA2000 bus. When you say that Saillogger can track engine travel hours, is that your wish or does Saillogger already do it? For now, I've only been able to see the engine RPM in the logs, within the additional data (min/max), but I'd like a report that shows how many hours I've been under engine and how many under sail. Regarding fuel consumption calculated by observing the fuel level at the beginning and end of a trip, I doubt it would be precise or indicative. First, because tank level sensors are rheostats that aren't exactly linear, so they only provide an indicative measurement. The other problem is that the readings taken at the beginning and end of a trip could be affected by the boat's rolling. It's much better to take the engine data regarding instantaneous fuel consumption and record it in a database to understand the overall value for a trip, in my opinion.
