Anyone with a reference to sensors with Ethernet interface capability for building a PC based wheelhouse?
I realize it is probably contrary to their ad revenue stream but a mag article on what's available would be great... haven't seen one yet.
Thanks, Jim
Hi Jim,
Just because a device uses Ethernet doesn't mean you can use the data. Almost everything Ethernet in the marine electronics world is proprietary. We've discussed hacked radar here...

...but the manufacturers may have blocked it. Rose Point Navigation does have PC Radar and Nobeltec has just announced it:
