iKreate NMEA 2000 Simulator with USB
For anyone involved in designing, manufacturing, or installing marine electronics, the ability to simulate or replay NMEA2000 data is a real advantage and can accelerate software development, demonstrate NMEA2000 devices, or help diagnose network issues.
With more and more modern boats having an NMEA2000 network at the heart of their navigation system, it is really important that you have the tools to investigate the devices and data on the network should things not work as planned.
Consisting of an iKreate USB interface and an HTML5-based web app, the iKreate simulator can generate any number of NMEA2000 PGNs or replay saved log files of real-life network data from any NMEA2000 system, regardless of brand.
This package includes iKreate to connect to the NMEA 2000 network and the simulator software to generate any number of NMEA2000 PGNs.
Just like our NMEA2000 Display App, the iKreate Simulator takes a new approach and is the World’s first multi-platform, browser-based NMEA2000 Simulator App that will run on Windows, LINUX, Mac OS X, and Raspbian. There is no installation, and if you can save a file and find it again, then that is as complex as it gets with just a single HTML5 file to worry about (less than 0.5MB in size).
You need to use the app with a browser that supports the Web Serial API, which currently includes Chrome, Chromium, MS Edge, and Opera. We also plan to support Firefox going forward (with its WebSerial Extension), but this was not possible for the first release of the app.
