I’ve been working on a small open-source hobby project called CraftBridge.
The goal is to read useful engine data directly from Mercury SmartCraft and make it available outside the original Mercury ecosystem.
On my own setup I can currently read values such as RPM, engine temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage and fuel flow, and show them in a local web interface. The Motor Node also sends the normalized data wirelessly to an Instrument Node that I’m developing for local display and eventually NMEA 2000 output.
The part I’m most interested in now is compatibility.
I’ve verified the system on my own Mercury, but I’d like to find out how much of the SmartCraft data layout is shared across other Mercury engines and ECUs.
If anyone here has a SmartCraft-equipped Mercury and is interested in trying it, I’d be very interested in test results — both positive and negative.
The project is open source and called CraftBridge on GitHub under OldButTalented/CraftBridge.
At this stage I’m mainly trying to build a reliable compatibility list rather than add more features.
