Marine instrument and marine bus proxy server running on a proprietary E Ink tablet.
About
Wemar Nautipad was a marine instrument and marine bus proxy server running on proprietary Visionect E Ink tablet hardware.
The UI displayed information from existing instruments and enabled autopilot control from the tablet interface.
The server component supported NMEA and SEATALK protocols, allowing Nautipad to control existing instrumentation and proxy commands between NMEA and SEATALK devices.
My role
I was the sole implementor and architect of the application for the first version of this product.
Technologies used
The frontend was a JavaScript/AJAX application built with Backbone.
Backend services combined a multithreaded Python application, Tornado web server, REST APIs, and SQLite persistence.
