| ====== 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, | |
