@admin I don't remember seeing this pgn among those that my Yanmar to N2K interface provides me but I'll check, however I saw the data of the engine hours expressed in seconds, I could record that and make the delta between the first reading and the last reading and then multiply it by 3600 and obtain the hours, what do you think?

@admin Thanks for the reply, I'm sure it will be great when this is available. Right now, how can I determine how much of a trip was under engine? I connected the RPM data from SK and I see it for every trip, but I don't have a sum of the engine usage time between the times when I was sailing and the times when I was under engine. Is there a way to do it now?
Furthermore, also as a test bench, I tried to connect the SK Fuel Rate data which is expressed in m3/h but I did not find a type of representation given that could read it, I have speed volume etc but not a ratio such as volume/time

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.

I take advantage of the dialogue to ask you, the parameters that are added in Monitor & Tracking such as the battery, are not shown with a small display as in the case of the battery that is at the beginning of this list, I show you two screenshots, is there a way to choose whether the synoptic is standard?
As you can see the Starter Battery does not have the name on it

I just tried searching for this parameter again in Saillogger, and it suddenly appeared in the list of available parameters. I can't explain the phenomenon. Now I can see this value and even set an alarm threshold, which was exactly what I wanted. Thanks.

Thanks Admin for the reply, to answer your question, before you asked me, I queried SK Data Browser and searched for the word Starter which is contained in the "electrical.batteries.starter.voltage" pgn in the screenshot I attached to the question. Do you think this check is sufficient or can I look elsewhere? For example, I also use another application for iOS called WilhelmSK which allows me to see all the parameters that circulate on SK and as I show you in the screenshots I attach, this battery is also visible in this app.

I would like to be able to monitor a PGN provided by SK that shows the starter battery voltage but I don't see it among the list of parameters that begin with "electrical.batteries.starter.voltage". Where could I be going wrong?

@admin Hi, I wanted to offer my services as a beta tester for experimental plugins that would test this new feature. I installed the sensor that displays RPM, pressure, and other engine information on SK, and I also added it to Saillogger as data to monitor, and it works (obviously). If you'd like to test this new feature on me, I'm available. Thanks.

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

@wrwakefield Good luck

@wrwakefield Sorry last suggestion, have you tried asking on the Victron website?

@wrwakefield Actually a case study. Since you have the Cerbo GX have you ever installed a plugin in SK? because it seems strange that in a native configuration like that of version 3.50 with Venus Large, Signal K can give problems, I have used numerous Cerbo even with versions prior to 3.50 and both Signal K and Node Red have always worked well. Of course in Signal K has it made your login and password and do you access with those correctly?

@wrwakefield Hi Bill, so since you updated to VenusOs 3.62 on Venus SK have you managed to update to saillogger 4.21 or not?

@admin Hi Admin, and thanks again for the assistance you gave me yesterday after the plugin 4.2.1 did not install I was worried. Saillogger has now become a travel companion that cannot be missed. Last year I also made the same request, to have in the report of a trip the possibility of seeing the Distance/duration field divided by sail and engine. Also when I click on a point of my route to be able to customize the data of that telemetry (eg TWS TWA AWA SOG etc). I think that being able to customize the list of fields that Saillogger stores on a point of the log should not be a heavy development so each navigator can populate his path with the data he prefers. Regarding the engine data transducer to N2K I have had the YachtDevice one for a year and it works well. So if you allow me the final question, where are we on these new features? Thanks a lot

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

yes I can do it, previously I had installed version 3.62 when it came out but it seemed unstable in my situation, the Cerbo would restart repeatedly and so I went back to version 3.55. I can try again anyway. Couldn't we go back to version 4.1 of saillogger?

Yes unfortunately, when trying to update my 4.1 version of the saillogger plugin I received the message "failed". I tried again but same message. I still have Venus Os 3.55

Hello to all saillogger friends, unfortunately I had not read this post before and I installed the 4.2.1 update which obviously did not install. However, there is a variant in my case that I would like to report, I still have version 3.55 and although this version is reported as the one on which 4.2.1 works, in my case it is not installed, could there be a solution in my case?

regarding the Navigation.Position pgn on the N2K bus of my boat although I saw two of them (129025 and 129039) SL told me that it did not have a GPS position, I solved it by activating in the Victron plugin on SK "Use de position from Venus Os", now I have a third pgn that also provides altitude, with this SL confirms the GPS position. So it is not easy to understand what is happening here too, why did SL not see the Navigation.Position pgn that I said above?
