SailTimer API for Pc

1. This is the data that other apps use to display the wind speed and direction on a wind gauge, graph or tacking angles on a chartplotter.

2. The API is a toolkit that receives wireless wind data from the SailTimer Wind Instrument™ ( ), and reformats it to make it easy for other apps to display.

3. Logging in will also let you access new sailing innovations as they become available, like the Share button that gives you the option to crowd-source your wind data and view real-time wind maps to plan your tacking routes.

4. The API also converts wind direction from magnetic to true north, and converts the wind data to NMEA 0183 format.

5. But to connect the first time or if you need to re-connect, just press “Scan for Devices”, and then tap on the line for your Wind Instrument when it is found.

6. It hands off the wind data to other sailing, racing or chartplotting apps.

7. The Wind Instrument uses about 44% less power when Bluetooth is not connected.

8. That is handy when leaving the boat, or also if you want to save power in the iOS device and in the Wind Instrument when not in use.

9. You can add an identifier like your boat name to your Wind Instrument by clicking on the “i” on the line where it is listed.

10. The SailTimer API™ handles the Bluetooth 4 LE connection to the SailTimer Wind Instrument™.

11. There is also a Smoothing button on this panel, if the wind direction is jumping around a lot and you want to average it.
