| **Signal K server** is aimed for yachts, and multiplexes data from NMEA0183, NMEA 2000, Signal K and other sensor inputs. It makes all that data available for Apps, such as [[https://www.wilhelmsk.com/|WilhelmSK]], a highly customizable boat instrument display. The [[https://www.victronenergy.com/blog/2019/06/13/sailing-with-signal-k/|Sailing with Signal K blogpost on our website]] is a great read for more information and ideas. | **Signal K server** is aimed for yachts, and multiplexes data from NMEA0183, NMEA 2000, Signal K and other sensor inputs.

| Please note that updating the ''@victronenergy/node-red-contrib-victron'' module is not (yet) possible from either the Node-RED UI as the commandline. The recommended way to get to the new node-red-contrib-victron version is to await a new Venus OS large build. | Please note that updating the ''@victronenergy/node-red-contrib-victron'' module is not possible from either the Node-RED editor as the commandline.
