How to run
With the received AIS data there are several ways to work with the raspAIS for display and navigation:
a smartphone or tablet device
has to be connected to the wifi network of the
raspAIS. Any navigation software able to
interpret WiFi transmitted AIS data will suit. IP
address and port of the raspAIS have to be
figured in the app.
to a PC or TV screen The
integrated AIS software openPlotter running in
the background is managing all neccessary
steps to display the position reports of all
abjects around you. PC or TV screen is used as
huge display
to a smartphone or tablet
without AIS capable app with the free of charge
VNC Viewer software running on the used
mobile device you will be able to mirror the
raspAIS display. Just connect the mobile device
to the wifi network of the raspAIS.
But the new raspAIS is even more than an AIS receiver. It can also be used as a multimedia center for videos and audio content. 4 USB slots keep enough space for USB storage additional connected to mouse and keyboard.
