Welcome to our NavLink 2 Developer's Guide (SDK) on GitHub. This guide is intended to help developers quickly get to grips with our NavLink 2 wireless NMEA2000 Gateway and implement it within their Apps.
The NavLink 2 wireless NMEA2000 Gateway is designed to allow an Application Developer to support bi-directional communication with an NMEA2000 network, through simple serial messages. Any individual or company that wishes to integrate NavLink 2 will need as a minimum the NMEA2000 Appendix A+B which is available from http://nmea.org for both NMEA members and non-members.
NavLink 2 is based on our existing iKonvert wired NMEA2000 gateway and they share the exact same serial protocol, so once you support one device, supporting the second is easy.
Included in this repository are:-
1. Windows executable of a NavLink 2 Configuration Tool
2. The latest NavLink 2 firmware, featuring new web interface (2.01)
3. The NavLink 2 Developers Guide V1.04 (pdf)
4. Latest User Manual for NavLink 2
No special libraries are required to integrate NavLink 2 and it supports TCP or UDP connections.
A full developer's guide for iKonvert, much of which is applicable to NavLink 2 is provided in the associated Wiki.
