Documentation

signalk-windjs-plugin

Node.js Signal K server plugin that provides wind information, based on the work done by @danwild and Cameron Beccario (big thanks!). This plugin scrapes GRIB2 wind forecast information from NOAA, converts it to JSON and makes it available on an SK server.

Endpoints

This plugins provides a couple of endpoints:

/plugins/signalk-windjs-plugin/latest - returns the latest GRIB2 file available /plugins/signalk-windjs-plugin/nearest?timeIso=2018-06-15T17:55:24.419Z - returns the nearest GRIB2 file to the provided timestamp

UI

In addition to the JSON endpoints, the plugin provides a (basic) UI based on Leaflet and danwild/leaflet-velocity at /plugins/signalk-windjs-plugin/ui.
