I just tested dAISy and when using windows 10 on a lap top and also Ubuntu on a raspberry pi 2 it was just to connect the USB cable to a USB port and it just worked. I use openCPN to test the AIS functionality.

dAISy Receiver

For dAISy AIS Receiver

I purchased the dAISy Receiver and combined it with a Raspberry PI2 computer running the chart program OpenCPN. I am utilizing this equipment as a secondary chart plotter and AIS receiver on my sailboat. I connected the dAISy to my VHF-FM antenna via a splitter. This connection shares the same antenna with my Standard Horizon GX 2150 VHF-FM radio which has AIS built into it. My VHF-FM radio is networked to a Raymarine chart plotter that receives AIS data from the Standard Horizon radio. So far I have seen no loss of signal on either unit and while sitting on the Columbia River in Portland Oregon I get excellent AIS input from the dAISy into my Raspberry PI.

It is working perfectly with Linux Mint 17.2 and OpenCPN

For dAISy AIS Receiver

I use it with OpenCPN 4.0.0 on Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.2 64 bit.
It took me less than 5 minutes to cut away one end of a bnc-cable and connect it to two pieces of copper wire to build an antenna. Once connected I pointed OpenCPN to the device file (/dev/ttyACM0) and its map was immediately filled with targets.

It is small, cheap, efficient and totally problem free.
I love it!

This is what I was waiting for! Small size and good reception. Perfect for my projects! Make sure to get the right antenna. Only get one that is AIS compatible.

Great product for a good price

For dAISy AIS Receiver

I bought the product in order to setup my own AIS-receiver station.

It was only a matter of 20-30 minutes in order to have the product connected, software installed and receiving the initial AIS data.

Meanwhile I asked for some additonal information concerning AIS-data in general and there Adrian provide me with a prompt and good reply.
I don't expect that you need help with the setup, but it's good to know that Adrian is there when having any questions.

When you intend to buy an AIS receiver I could really recommend the "daisy".
