Signalk-generic-pgn-parser NPM

signalk-generic-pgn-parser

Allows users to parse PGNs that are not directly supported by SignalK.

Getting started

1.) Use the SignalK Appstore to install the signalk-generic-pgn-parser plugin. 2.) Browse to Server => Plugin => Generic PGN Parser and enable it. 3.) Restart SignalK

Configuration - Basic

At the basic level each PGN is required to have the PGN and the path you want to map it. The path is a template that you can specify any data field value or device instance for use in the path. The field value you want to use in the template should be surrounded by {} brackets.

For example if I want to include the instance in the PGN 65005, then I could use a path of electrical.ac.utility.{Instance}.total

Basic Configuration

Configuration - Proprietary

If the PGN you wish to use is proprietary to a manufacturer, then you need to provide the manufacturer name as used in pgn.h.

If I wanted to add Maretron Slave Response PGN 126720, I would go to pgn.h and search for the PGN. Within the PGN I would look for the Manufacturer Code and enter it into the PGN config in the plugin.
