NMEA 2000 Shield

sunnycoastgreg:

  1. engine load % appears incorrect?
  • for example when setting to 30% in simulator, NMEA bus displays 14% on BOTH MFD & actisense reader.
  1. engine fuel rate L/Hr
  • for example when setting 11.5L/Hr in simulator, NMEA bus displays 0.0052cu m/hr (5.2L/Hr) on actisense reader AND MFD displays 5.2L/Hr also.

the other engine parameters all appear to be OK ... the simulator values match MFD and nmea reader values.

also a couple of additional questions about simulator
3) DC status PGN 127506 - i can enable it in simulator, and see values on nmea bus reader
however it shows 246% for SOC ... and there doesnt appear any way to change this in simulator?
I assume its hard coded?
(MFD doesnt display... but this may be because it expects a value of 100% or less?)
4) Alternator voltage (engine PGN) - these are displayed on MFD and nmea reader - but i cant find anywhere to change these on simulator , once again Im assuming these are hard coded?

I'll try to check the errors above. Some values are just hard coded quicly to get some information to the bus.
