NMEA 2000 Wifi Gateway

[InSaneFisherMan]

Found a NMEA 2000 Wifi Gateway at a bin store for $.50

I have to get a T connector to add it to my NMEA backbone.

If it works, it has an internal web site built in that displays various engine and navigation information.

Will give it a try when the T connector comes in.

More to come.

Didn't need the T, just used the connection for my fish finder.

Got the wifi to connect, updated firm ware, but didn't get engine hours with key on.

Looks like a lot more settings to get right.

I'd be interested to know if there are any perceived delays inserting the wifi vs gauges on the FF. I have a display connected to a NMEA2K network and get very good response on tach and trim adjustment. In some ways it would be nice to have "bigger" gauges on an ipad or such.

Got the NMEA server settings done and now getting some engine data.

I will set up and run the engine tomorrow and see how it works.

Won't be able to do a side by side with Garmin Echo map until my T adapter comes in.
