This model selects the first data stream that comes in (detects BLE and connects, or
detects a wired data stream and connects) is the one that stays it to all output
interfaces (NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, BLE, or WIFI).
The input data will be broadcasted across all output interfaces.
Range Extender
3.5
Reaching longer distances is possible when using two NCP`s connected to each other
via WIFI. Thus one of them receives the wind data via NMEA 0183 sentences or BLE
signal and replicates the information via WIFI. The other NCP receives the
information via WIFI and translates it to the desired output.
Below you can find some examples when using two NCPs.
Bluetooth to NMEA 0183 Range Extender:
When using a Bluetooth Ultrasonic wind meter you can monitor wind data into your
NMEA0183 display from far away. Having two NCPs connected among them via WIFI,
would replicate the wind data from your Bluetooth ultrasonic wind meter reaching
longer distances. The reached distance will vary on the number of gateways you
want to place.
