Re: [Electric Boats] Re: When things fail away from home - the need for remote CANbus support.

 

Have not completed my electric install yet however. Should not be so technical for average no nothing dude. Keep it simple. Try not to over think this. Is only another propulsion system. I might change my tune next week week when I go for the maiden voyage on my thunderstruck conversion. Lol

I have been exploring this myself. I contacted Raymarine through their forum a couple times this year asking if they had plans to develop an interface for EP systems for their MFDs. Their answer has always been that they can't comment on what they may, or may not have in development.
I did locate a converter that I think would work to get the CANopen data translated to NMEA 2000 sentences. The converter is a HD67250 by ADFweb.com. 
The Raymarine MFD do have standard, ready to go screens for ICE interface. The problem is that the Raymarine MFD doesn't allow custom user configuration so that the unique to EP data might not display in correct units, or have a place to display at all. It would definitely be a science project, and I think the results would be satisfactory at best. Because of this, and other, higher priority projects, I have yet to invest time in this. 
I'd dearly love to display my EP data on my MFD. I have a dual motor system and struggle to see my data on the poor quality Clearview displays.

Check out RedLion controls, Andromeda EVIC, and F. W. Murphy Marine instrumentation.  All use CanBus.  RedLion is talking of custom configuring a display for me from their " Graphite Crimson® Control Module" line.  Very helpful so far.

I am interested in this as well. I would like to see CANbus data being pulled into a Marine MFD product, and it sounds like Raymarine might be exploring this since N2k is the same data signalling standard underneath.
I also looked at CANbus Tripple for Arduino.

There seems to be a void right now in the electric boat controls interface.
