Hardware

CX5106 NMEA 2000 USB Gateway

Connect your engine network to d3kOS.

Plug your NMEA 2000 backbone into a USB port. The CX5106 gateway feeds engine RPM, coolant temp, oil pressure, hours, GPS, and AIS data directly into Signal K and d3kOS.

Hardware

PiCAN-M NMEA 2000 HAT

Native NMEA 2000 for your Raspberry Pi.

The PiCAN-M HAT mounts directly on a Raspberry Pi 4B and provides native CAN bus connectivity for NMEA 2000 — no USB adapter required. Designed for marine installations.

From your engines to your phone

d3kOS works alongside your existing chartplotter — it doesn't replace Garmin, Simrad, or Raymarine. It adds an AI intelligence layer your chartplotter doesn't have.

Step 1 — Engine Data

The Yacht Devices CX5106 reads your analogue engine sensors (RPM, temperature, fuel, oil pressure, voltage) and puts them on the NMEA 2000 bus. No engine wiring changes required.

Step 2 — d3kOS Reads Everything

The PiCAN-M HAT connects the Raspberry Pi to the NMEA 2000 bus. d3kOS reads GPS, engine data, depth, AIS, and anything else on the bus — from your chartplotter's existing network.

Step 3 — Monitor from Anywhere on the Boat

Over WiFi or Ethernet, any phone, tablet, or laptop on your boat's network can access the d3kOS dashboard — engine gauges, GPS, AI assistant, and voice control. No app install. Just a browser.
