This includes all the changes that Ron did for his own boat. I will be using this to make sure the develop branch does everything Ron needs:

Summary of all the changes and link to ticket to implement this in "official" KBox:

• As a user, I would like to see NMEA data going out the NMEA outputs #43 Enable the NMEA outputs
• As a user, I want to configure the speed of NMEA input/output #62 Set NMEA2 speed to 4800 bauds
• As a user, I expect Pressure in NMEA sentence to be compatible with OpenCPN #69 Change the unit for pressure when exporting in NMEA format
• As a user, I expect NMEA pitch/roll sentence to work with OpenCPN #63 Fix the NMEA sentence for roll/pitch to work with OpenCPN
• As a user, I want to configure the orientation of KBox in my boat #64 Allow user to configure orientation of KBox
• As a user, I want to be able to disable the magnetic compass #65 Allow user to disable HDM output (magnetic heading)
• As a user, I would like to see the barometric pressure on the home screen #72 Display barometer pressure on screen
• As a user, I would like to use KBox as a USB NMEA/NMEA2000 interface #66 Have a way to disable all debug output to USB and instead use the USB as a NMEA output
• As a user, I should be able to configure WiFi settings without recompiling the firmware #67 Have a way to configure wifi password without modifying source code
• As a user, I should be able to completely disable NMEA2000 #71 Have a way to disable output to NMEA2000 network - or even NMEA2000 logging
• KBox serial outputs lock up when connected to a Raspberry Pi #68 Fix the bug where KBox serial output gets blocked when connected to a Raspberry Pi

I am not sure how I can help you with this, all of my changes were adhoc and not conforming with any coding rules (oh well, they worked for me). . It looks like you are already addressing many of my changes in the IMU branch (at least the ones with IMU setup, new display page and location of 'constants'). This PR could address how tell Kbox what data to write to the various outputs. My thoughts would be that somewhere in the new config repository we set flags that would define what gets output at; the USB, the SD card, the WiFi and the NMEA outputs. So for me the N2K_USB_Flag would be off. I also turned off DeBug, so the DeBug_USB_Flag would be off. while the NM83_USB_FLag would be on. At least that would be my naive way of doing it.
I guess I will start by locating all my changes in the current (12/13/17) Master.

Well, I have started to go thru the new Master and while I am pretty confused I am picking up some things. I see that the encoder switch does have rotation options (A/B) not just the push button, you have gone to a logging approach for DEBUG, INFO and ERROR (but I don't yet understand how this works). I also found in the MFG section the NMEATest.h which shows me that to turn on the NMEA1/2 outputs i need to put a '1' in the digitalWrite statement. I tried that in my edits, but never did see any output on those pins.

I feel a bit like I am back at square one for making my changes, but at least I have my previous build which is doing more or less what I wanted it to do. I am still not sure how I can help you with rewriting this code, but at least you have my inputs.

@CaptainRon47,

I created this pull-request so I have an easy way to look at all the changes you had done and make sure we cover all of them in the new master. I was not expecting you to go do the same changes again, I will do that for you. As you said, the big value here is showing me what is useful for you! And showing me how you solved it which always makes things a bit easier to do.

Thanks, I was just trying to see if I could help, but I am afraid I am out of my league (at my current level of C++ understanding) for writing modern efficient code! So I will be patient and wait and see where you go with it.
