Software library

The device driver library is written in Python, based on the Bleak_ library. It was verified to work well on an OpenPlotter installation on a Raspberry Pi, as well as a macOS workstation.

---

Features

---

• Run device discovery
• Acquire device status and readings (one shot)
• Acquire device readings continuously (subscribe/notify)
• Set device data rate
• Telemetry with NMEA-0183 and SignalK over UDP

---

Setup

---

::

pip install --upgrade calypso-anemometer

To install the latest development version from the repository, invoke::

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/maritime-labs/calypso-anemometer

---

Pre-flight checks

---

We have some documentation about investigating and configuring your Bluetooth/BLE stack and about simulating the telemetry messaging. On this matter, you might want to run through a sequence of preflight checks_ before going into production_.

---

Usage

---

Command line

Discover the ULTRASONIC BLE device and run a conversation on it. By default, the Bluetooth adapter hci0 will be used.

::

# Get device information with discovery.
calypso-anemometer info

# Get device reading.
calypso-anemometer read

# Get device reading, with compass (roll, pitch, heading).
calypso-anemometer read --compass=on

# Get device readings, continuously at 4 Hz (default).
calypso-anemometer read --subscribe

# Get device readings, continuously at 1 Hz.
calypso-anemometer read --subscribe --rate=hz_1

# Generate fake device readings, continuously at 8 Hz.
pip install --upgrade calypso-anemometer[fake]
calypso-anemometer fake --subscribe --rate=hz_8

If you already discovered your device, know its address, and want to connect directly without automatic device discovery, see skip discovery_.

Likewise, when your system has multiple Bluetooth adapters, you may want to choose a specific one, see select Bluetooth adapter_.

::

# Get device information w/o discovery.
calypso-anemometer info --ble-address=F8:C7:2C:EC:13:D0

# Get device information w/o discovery, using a specific Bluetooth adapter.
calypso-anemometer info --ble-adapter=hci1 --ble-address=F8:C7:2C:EC:13:D0

Library

In order to use the library API, please consult the programs in the examples folder.

Synopsis::

from calypso_anemometer.core import CalypsoDeviceApi

async with CalypsoDeviceApi() as calypso:
    reading = await calypso.get_reading()
    reading.print()

---

Telemetry setup

---

The program can optionally submit telemetry messages in different formats.

SignalK telemetry

Continuously receive device readings and submit them in SignalK Delta Format via UDP::

calypso-anemometer read --subscribe --rate=hz_1 --target=udp+signalk+delta://openplotter.local:4123

To make a SignalK server_ receive the data, create an "UDP receiver" data connection on the Server » Data Connections_ dialog of your OpenPlotter_ instance.

SignalK UDP receiver on port 4123.

NMEA-0183 telemetry

Continuously receive device readings and submit them in NMEA-0183 format via UDP broadcast::

calypso-anemometer read --subscribe --rate=hz_1 --target=udp+broadcast+nmea0183://255.255.255.255:10110

.. note::

If you don't have **any** networking configured on your machine, just use
``localhost`` as target address.

To make OpenCPN_ receive the data, create a corresponding data connection like outlined in those screenshots.

.. figure:: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/453543/179416658-abb831b8-8e5a-46e1-8f82-4eb5655c7e0b.png

Add NMEA-0183 UDP receiver on port 10110.

Configured NMEA-0183 UDP receiver on port 10110.

An example NMEA-0183 payload, including multiple sentences, is::

$MLHDT,235.0,T*27
$MLVWR,154.0,L,11.06,N,5.69,M,20.48,K*64
$MLXDR,A,-60.0,D,PTCH#CAL,A,30.0,D,ROLL#CAL*75
$MLXDR,C,33.0,C,AIRTEMP#CAL*6A
$MLXDR,L,0.9,R,BATT#CAL*18
