n2k 0.5.0

Library to communicate with NMEA2000 devices.

NMEA2000

NMEA2000 library for Raspberry Pi. Fork of https://github.com/ttlappalainen/NMEA2000

This library is still in an alpha state and is currently missing support for the following:

• several messages (as noted by the todo comments in n2k/messages.py
• testing for the included messages
• support for transport protocol messages
• support for group functions
• proper logging
• good documentation. For now only the expected values for the messages are documented

The interface for creating messages will likely change in the future.

Installing the library

If you want to use this library for a project, simply install it via pip:

pip install n2k

First make sure you have python installed.
