    Usb barometer

    Hi, got a question for you guys.

    I'm looking for a USB barometer with nmea output for the upcoming Vic Maui race. Does any one have any recommendations?

    Thanks,
    Gordo

    Not sure about USB, We have a "baroplug" that fits into N2K network.

    I used a n2k barometer from yacht devices.   Seems to be accurate. 

    only issue was it was drop shipped via Russian post and took a month to show up.

    I built one with an arduino uno, outputs nmea0183 via usb, no serial converter required.  Total cost was about $50, used it for 3 transpacs thus far.

    If you want more info let me know.
