Products developed by active cruisers grab my attention. In my experience, products created onboard solve needs and fix issues directly experienced by the creator. Pitufino is no exception. There is no shortage of NMEA 2000 to WiFi gateways in the marketplace. There are also quite a few NMEA 0183 gateways. But few of them are nearly as ambitious, flexible, or offer as many features as the Pitufino gateway.
AIRMAR Technology Corporation, a world leader in ultrasonic transducers and Chirp technology is excited to announce their SmartBoat® Solution has achieved OneNet certification, the third generation NMEA Standard for marine data interfacing and networking. SmartBoat is the only marine electronics solution that integrates devices using current, future, and legacy standards including NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, and OneNet.
Wind sensors serve multiple purposes on a boat. For a sailor, they provide critical information to best harness the wind. For a power boater, they provide insight into conditions and a potential preview of close quarters manuevering. Regardless of the application, a simple, reliable, accurate, and easy to use wind instrument is something many boaters value. Does the Calypos Ultrasonic NMEA 2000 Wind Sensor deliver? Let’s take a look.
Raymarine — global leader in high-performance marine electronics for the recreational boating, marine first responder and law-enforcement market — recently announced that it has joined forces with ePropulsion, the global leader in marine electric propulsion systems and services. Through this revolutionary collaboration, boaters now can display engine data from their ePropulsion electric motors directly on Axiom displays, without the need for additional gateways or add-on interface boxes…
Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning kills boaters every year. Odourless, tasteless and generated from incomplete combustion from engines, cookers, heaters, outboards, generators etc, it’s a real threat to boating safety. When CO enters the body, it prevents the blood from bringing oxygen to cells, tissues, and organs. Because you can’t see it, taste it or smell it, CO will kill quickly without warning. Small concentrations over a long period or high concentrations over a short period can kill…
Marine electronics specialists, Actisense, have unveiled an industry leading NMEA gateway, bringing together key technology from two of their previous award-winning gateway devices. The NGX-1 helps boaters and boating installers convert NMEA 0183 data to NMEA 2000, bidirectionally, with the industry’s most comprehensive conversion library which was developed as part of their NGW-1 NMEA 2000 Gateway. The NGX also brings the power of the Actisense NGT-1 NMEA 2000 PC Interface, making it safe and simple to connect a PC to…
As a regular reader of Panbo, long before I became involved, my favorite articles were the ones that introduced me to a new product or company. As the editor of Panbo, little excites me more than hearing from a new company and getting to introduce a product to my readers. Perhaps, for many readers, this review will serve as an introduction to LXNav and their SmartShunt WiFi and NMEA 2000-connected battery monitoring shunt. Join me for a review of the SmartShunt and a look at the rest of LXNav’s marine-focused offerings.
Staring at a black plastic battery enclosure and guessing what’s happening or how long it will last – or watching lights get dimmer, electronics dropping out and a winch not operating? Digital Yacht’s new iSeaSense BM100 battery monitoring system allows for highly accurate DC voltage, current and capacity measurements enabling reliable monitoring of your boat’s battery and electrical system…
Orca makes some pretty heady claims about their CoPilot navigation app and hardware. Their home page is dominated by the tagline, “The ultimate navigation experience” and promises “Better boating with Orca.” Those are bold statements, but Orca’s goals are indeed ambitious. Orca aims to deliver a smarter, more automated navigation experience by leveraging both their own and off-the-shelf hardware. So, how far along the path to delivering the ultimate navigation experience has Orca progressed so far? Let’s take a look.
