WindInfo

This program was written in Tcl/Tk for at least reasons:
- It is a great language
- It is the language that I am most familiar with
The purpose of the program is to demonstrate true vs. apparent wind, and the relationship to boat speed. It also introduces polar diagrams.
I will make the following easier. For now,
- Download Tclkit
- From the console, Load > (all files) "windInfo_kit.kit"
Any questions or problems, contact dlr@eolas.com
Also, here is a simple example of a wind display. It can input data fro almost an wind instrument that outputs NMEA 0183, and could be modified for NMEA 2000. The code for this is here.
