EP20 - New life for the electronics of our boat: NMEA, Seatalk, WiFi, Openplotter.

In today's episode we are going to see how to get the most out of, and reuse, the old electronics of our boat, interconnecting NMEA 0183 and Seatalk devices to be able to access their data from any device (Tablet, Mobile, Computer, Navionics, OpenCPN) and anywhere. And all thanks to connecting it with our Raspberry Pi with OpenPlotter. A world of possibilities to rejuvenate the electronics of our boat and make the most of it with very cheap and simple solutions.
