YACHT DEVICES YDWG-02N, is a Wifi gateway that allows you to view data from a marine NMEA 2000 network on a computer, tablet or mobile. With it you get network data such as speed, course, position, wind direction, depth, AIS and other navigation data in popular navigation apps.
YDWG-02 can have its own Wi-Fi network (range approx. 30 meters) or be integrated into an existing Wi-Fi network. If it is integrated into an existing Wi-Fi network, the range can be significantly longer and connected devices can access all information wirelessly. It is also possible to configure access via the internet.
To configure the device, you need a Wi-Fi device (computer, tablet or mobile) with a browser. The settings can be factory reset with a hidden button.
The device works as a bi-directional gateway so it is also possible to send messages from a computer via TCP and UDP network protocols (both can be activated at the same time). For UDP, the number of clients (physical devices or programs) is unlimited. Compatible with almost all navigation apps including SeaPilot, Transas iSailor, Navionics, MaxSea, iNavx and OpenCPN.
The device has a bi-directional converter between NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183, allowing the YDWG-02 to be used in basically all marine applications and common programs.
The integrated web page allows you to easily view data directly in a web browser without having to install an app. The web-based meters make it easy to get all the data. It is possible to customize the layout and its content. You can also view recorded logs.
Tracking/Recording
YDWG-02 also supports the RAW protocol which is used in Expedition and CAN Log Viewer. it makes it possible to transfer all NMEA 2000 PGNs (including proprietary) to and from a computer. It is possible to record messages to a .CAN file and/or monitor everything with CAN Log Viewer (free for Mac OS X, Windows, Linus). It can be useful for NMEA 2000 or J1939 network setup and troubleshooting. The recorded .CAN file can be converted to a .DAT file and converted to GPX tracks, spreadsheets or other formats. Of course, it's not as easy as using a Voyage Recorder, but it works.
