The NMEA 2000 developer course is a 6-to-8-hour workshop geared towards programmers and technical product managers. Dave Morschauser, CEO of Mystic Valley Communications and Chris Quigley, CEO of Warwick Control are both NMEA 2000 implementation experts and will go into detail on how to implement the NMEA 2000 standard into your products. Morschauser and Quigley specialize in helping companies implement and certify products to the NMEA 2000 Standard.  Manufacturers who already have NMEA 2000 Certified products are highly encouraged to send new hire engineers to learn from the pros.

The topics covered during the day long class include the following subjects: General Requirements vs Parameter Group Requirements, Communication requirements vs application requirements. How to understand a PGN definition. What are request requirements, what are command requirements, and what do the Request/Command requirements flags mean. How to use the NMEA Command / Request / Acknowledgement group function. What is a NMEA 2000 stack and why do manufacturers need these? Hardware Requirements, and the NMEA 2000 Certification Process and hardware tool. Development and certification cycle, White labeling, Staff/Support changes that may happen after the first NMEA 2000 product. Individual Modules including Alerts/Entertainment/Waypoints.

The NMEA OneNet developer course is a 6-to-8-hour workshop geared towards programmers and technical product managers.  Alex Polmans, primary developer of the OneNet certification tool will give an overview of the OneNet certification process and explain in detail specific sections of the tool as it relates to the standard.

The day delivers an overview of the implementation and custom requirements a OneNet application and device should consider. The workshop covers implementation for a OneNet application, and the resources needed. The Workshop also provides examples of OneNet on platforms such as Windows, MacOs, Linux. NMEA will show an example of a Java Script containing the necessary technology mix of solutions required for certification and interoperability (IPv6, UDP, TLS, DTLS, crypto, mDNS, HTTP).   Developers will meet venders providing early market penetration opportunities demonstrating pre built OneNet solutions.

Attendees will gain access to NMEAs new developers sandbox repository containing source code to help implement your first OneNet application. Access to source code is available to manufacturers with NMEA membership in good standing.

The registration cost for this day long workshop is $520 USD for NMEA member companies and $1040 USD for non-members.
