GeDaD MCS // Marine Control Server
The MCS is an interface module for marine applications. With its six serial interfaces (NMEA0183 compatible), its CAN interface (NMEA2000 compatible), its 1-wire interface and its I2C interface, it offers ideal integration options in all systems. A Raspberry Pi is used as the brain of the system, via which all data can be processed. Ready-made programs for “Openplotter” and “Signal K” are available for the system, so that integration and data processing becomes child's play.
