Unraveling the Complexities of NMEA 2000, SeatalkNG, and SimNET Networking Systems: This tutorial delves into the intricacies of connecting and setting up boat equipment, creating DIY NMEA 2000 networks, manufacturing custom cables, and interlinking it all with a Raspberry Pi 5. Additionally, it reveals the secrets of [...].

Jam along with us as we delve into the thrilling world of NMEA 2000 networking and its derivatives like SeatalkNG and SimNET! This tutorial guides you through connecting your vessel's gadgets, building your personal NMEA 2000 network, manufacturing your own cables, and connecting everything to a Raspberry Pi 5. Take a peek at how to combine older and newer equipment, merging all the information onto your Raspberry Pi for seamless data access from anywhere. We'll weigh the pros and cons of using the Raspberry Pi 5 versus 4, and examine two HAT options for them: the pocket-friendly CAN Bus HAT for under 12 euros and the MacArthur HAT for 60 euros.
