* Package name : canboat Version : 1.2.1 Upstream Author : Kees Verruijt <k...@verruijt.net> * URL : https://github.com/canboat/canboat * License : GPL Programming Lang: C, Perl, PHP Description : NMEA 2000 (and 0183) toolkit for marine data networks CANboat provides NMEA 2000 (n2k) and NMEA 0183 utilities for interfacing with marine onboard data networks. An NMEA 2000 PGN decoder can read and decode N2K messages. You can also generate and publish n2k messages and send them to the network. USB devices, like the Actisense NGT-1 NMEA2000 PC Interface, or CAN devices can be used to interface withthe network. Another utility can read NMEA 0183 data and send it to stdout. You can tee data to TCP sockets to send data to 3rd party data brokers. I use this sotware on my boat on an ongoing basis and would like to package it for my distro. I'm working on some other Sailing/boating related debian packages as well. I am not a DD, so I will need a sponsor.
