====== Current Standards ====== | |
==== NMEA 0813 ==== | |
* Well known | |
* Easily hacked | |
==== NMEA 2000 (N2K) ==== | |
* Proprietary | |
* Standardizes PHY and cabling | |
* Must register and assign PGNs | |
* Must buy into the cartel | |
====== New Standard ====== | |
* Wireless out of the box (using Flutter Wireless) | |
* IPv6-based too much data on wire? Too confusing? | |
* Open Standard | |
* Website to register vendor and data codes | |
* Benevolent dictators of standard | |
* We approve vendor and data codes | |
==== Protocol Details ==== | |
* Easily tied into standard Ethernet | |
* L3 Protocol | |
* IPv6 | |
* Put data directly into IPv6 extension header (header 60 maybe)? | |
* Data grouped into multicast addresses | |
* L4 Protocol | |
* Existing one out there in RFC land? | |
* SCTP for life critical | |
* UDP or own raw protocol for normal traffic | |
* Author an RFC? | |
* Version number as part of header | |
* 1 - NMEA 0813 | |
* 2 - NMEA 2000 | |
* 4 - Reef41 | |
==== Name Brainstorming ==== | |
=== Company === | |
* Future Marine, LLC. | |
* Marine of Things, LLC. (MoT) | |
* Nauticom, LLC. | |
* Use Nenticom? | |
=== Protocol === | |
* ReefCOM | |
* Reef41 (R41 protocol) | |
* Marine41 | |
* N41 | |
=== Product Line === | |
* Coral | |
====== Products ====== | |
* CoralWind | |
* Wind, sail, weather station related instruments | |
* Maybe a separate CoralWeather | |
* CoralPower | |
* Engine management | |
* CoralHead | |
* N2K gateway, hub for flutter devices | |
* One version could have wifi | |
* CoralPatch | |
* Flutter device that takes an existing device' | |
===== Notes ===== | |
* Solar Power | |
* Sort of an open version of TikTack product line (now Raymarine) | |
* Doesn' | |
* In-line power | |
* Tap into power going to device being measured (with CoralPatch) | |
====== Startup Resources ====== | |
* Protocol standard developer (embedded, protocols, C language) | |
* IOS/Android app developer for reading data | |
* Website, outsourced | |
* Test equipment | |
* N2K protocol reader equipment | |
* Office or hacker space with room for permanently located hardware | |
* Budget for marine conferences (travel, entrance fees) | |
====== Benefits ====== | |
* Wireless from the start | |
* And Internet of Things based mentality | |
* Make it easy to put everything on a network | |
* Cost less than products with N2K markup | |
* Allow other companies to develop products around the protocol | |
====== Challenges ====== | |
* Reverse N2K without getting sued? | |
* N2K has huge market share and is industry standard | |
* Mostly towards recreational market | |
* Getting the word out: marine conferences, | |
* Augment existing products or create own? | |
====== Research ====== | |
* Arduino for CoralHead | |
* Protocol stacks on Arduino (IPv6) | |
* N2K interface in Arduino, |
