Pure javascript NMEA 2000 decoder and encoder
Canboatjs is a port of the canboat project (https://github.com/canboat/canboat) to javascript
Canboajs js is built on the backs of a few people whithout whom it would not be possible.
- Kees Verruijt [email protected]
- Jouni Hartikainen [email protected]
- Teppo Kurki [email protected]
- Reads directly from CAN bus devices and NMEA 2000 gateways including:
- Actisense NGT-1
- Digital Yacht iKonvert
- Yacht Devices YDWG-02
- Shipmodul MiniPlex-3-N2K
- Parses input in canboat analyzer json format
- Converts and outputs binary N2K format to supported devices
The details about the PGNs recognized by Canboatjs come from the canboat project in pgns.json. If you want to add or update PGN details, please make changes to the pgn.h file in canboat and submit a pull request there. Include sample data and raise an issue here so that I can include your changes in Canboatjs.
This program is similar to the canboat analyzer
command-line. It takes input in the actisense serial format and outputs canboat json for mat.
Examples:
actisense-serialjs /dev/ttyUSB0 | analyzerjs
ikonvert-serial /dev/ttyUSB0 | analyzerjs
nc ydgw 1475 | analyzerjs
This program takes input in the canboat json format and outputs actisense serial format.
This program takes input in the candump format and outputs canboat json format
Example: candump can0 | candumpanalyzerjs
npm install @canboat/canboatjs

Before the conversion of the individual fields happens the string needs to be parsed for attributes like priority, pgn, destination, source (collectively the CanId) and the hex or base64 needs to be converted to a Buffer. Use parseN2kString
for this purpose.
const { parseN2kString } = require("@canboat/canboatjs");
const n2kParts1 = parseN2kString(
"$PCDIN,01F119,00000000,0F,2AAF00D1067414FF*59"
);
const matches1 =
n2kParts1 ===
{
data: Buffer.from("2AAF00D1067414FF", "hex"),
dst: 255,
format: "PCDIN",
prefix: "$PCDIN",
pgn: 127257,
prio: 0,
src: 15,
timer: 0,
timestamp: new Date(0),
};
const n2kParts2 = parseN2kString(
"16:29:27.082 R 09F8017F 50 C3 B8 13 47 D8 2B C6"
);
const today = new Date().toISOString().split("T")[0];
const matches2 =
n2kParts2 ===
{
canId: 0x09f8017f,
data: Buffer.from("50C3B81347D82BC6", "hex"),
direction: "R",
dst: 255,
format: "YDRAW",
pgn: 129025,
prio: 2,
src: 127,
timestamp: new Date(`${today}T16:29:27.082Z`),
};
const n2kParts3 = parseN2kString(
"2016-04-09T16:41:09.078Z,3,127257,17,255,8,00,ff,7f,52,00,21,fe,ff"
