At higher outputs, current, from the batteries I had detected an increasing voltage drop. So I decided to change and update the supply cables from the batteries, see picture, to a more correct solution.  The solution was Cable lugs on all cables The lug is crimped and soldered to the cable Heat shrink tubes, with glue, to cover the transition between the lug and cable Battery terminals with M10 distributer

A  newer post  on the same subject !! If You want to capture Your data from a sailing trip there are several ways. Here I will check out these SignalK delta, via plugin signalk-data-logger   NMEA 0183(N1), via netcat NMEA 2000(N2), via  actisense-serial If you then want to use these files as input for OpenPlotter, OpenCPN or SignalK  check out this post .

A  newer post  on the same subject !! The easiest way to test Your OpenPlotter, OpenCPN or SignalK(SK) applications is to use the supplied sample files in SK. Another way is to capture Your own data from a sailing trip, which is described here . Then You can use them instead of the supplied sample files.

There have been some questions about how to handle Homebridge, (HB), autostart at power on and restart at failure using Raspberry Pi OS  systemd .  Please note that, in the later versions, the HB installation handles this !! I have written a post how to manually set it up but now in this post I will present a script which handles it automagically !!  Despite this simple set up I recommend using the app " hb-service", which is installed together with "homebridge-config-ui-x" How to install HB is found here !

With HomeBridge installed on a Raspberry Pi, (RPi), You just install the homebridge-ring plugin and the Ring accessories will appear in Apple HomeKit This post will cover the Ring video doorbell but is a guide for other Ring products. Prerequisites Homebridge Ring doorbell Ring account

Updated 2020-01-13 ! OpenPlotter is; A complete boat navigation system Includes OpenCPN, Chart plotter navigation OpenSource, so it's free ! Running on Raspberry Pi(RPi) Its hardware is cheap Running on Unix, so its reliable I really  don't   recommend this old OP 1, instead check out OP V2 , stable,  which works very well ! 

There are two ways to take a backup of Your Raspberry Pi:s, (RPi) Razberry(RZ) configuration; Clone the Raspberry boot disk Backup just the Razberry configuration The first way is a described in this post and here we will use the built in function in the Razberry GUI

          Updated 2019-09-20 ! This Blogpost was initially made before the IKEA outlets was enabled in the Apple Home app. They could then just be reached via a Tradfri Homebridge plugin .  Since a while blinds are supported by this plugin but not by the IKEA Gateway and app so maybe its time again to install it ? Another post covers the installation of the Trådfri gateway with a HomeKit approach . (Without Homebridge) Other  HomeKit posts  on this Blogg

In a former post I used Homebridge on a Raspberry Pi , to make Z-wave devices appear in the Apple Home app, but there is a simpler and faster, way. Start with the install of the Razberry card or upgrade to Z-way V3.0.0 Other  HomeKit posts  on this Blogg
