Hi Josh, Your setup looks nice - please keep posting about your progress.
I am starting a similar Open Plotter winter project with slightly different scope. I want to repeat my E80/ST60 data to a tablet. In addition, hooking up extra sensors and making it all available through the Internet seems like a great way to monitor the boat and weather in the marina. Controlling the autopilot ST4000 from the tablet ( just basics: Auto, Standby,+/-1,10 ) is also on my list, but from what I've gathered that will require Seatalk hookup and writing separate code. Best of all - it all can be done on a shoestring budget providing one has enough time and patience to make it work.
