fuel-usage-calculator v0.1.0

fuel-usage-calculator

A signalk plugin that calculates fuel uage from propulsion.*.fuel.rate The plugin is designed to calculate fuel consumption based on your fuel rate. It determines the instant fuel usage between value updates by using the time difference and the fuel.rate.

Config Parameters

Paths to use for fuel calculations

the paths you want to use to calculate the fuel consumption from. it should be in the propulsion..fuel.rate ['propulsion.port.fuel.rate','propulsion.starboard.fuel.rate']

How often to save the fuel used to disk

This is how often the fuel used will be saved to a file. If the plugin or signalk is stopped this is the fuel.used value the plugin will start from 15000

TimeOut

The Timeout setting in the node's configuration, should be set to at least the maximum interval between successive readings. This is to avoid the situation where for example, a sensor is taken off line, develops a fault or there is a communication problem, resulting in a break of several hours between readings and the calculation - interval x fuel.rate = fuel.used would then be inaccurate.
