Tutorials

Tutorials are step-by-step lessons that take a newcomer from nothing to a working setup.

• Your first simulated voyage: start the desktop application, watch the sentences in the console, steer from the keyboard and connect a chart plotter over TCP.
• Following a GPX track: load a recorded track, sail it on its own timing or at a speed of your choice, and jump around in it.
• Recording and replaying a log: capture a session and play it back with pause, step and seek, and replay logs from other programs.
• Feeding OpenCPN and a Signal K server at once: one profile with an NMEA 0183 output for a chart plotter and a Signal K output for a server, from the same vessel.
• Building a test fixture from a recorded log: record a scenario once, check it with an independent parser and replay it in automated tests.
