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.
