problems adding new NMEA source - pcmm - 2018-04-30
I've noticed a consistent problem when adding a new NMEA 0183 source in the openplotter window. It will not let me give my new sources any logical name. I've resorted to calling a new source bob, literally "bob" its the only input for name it will take without responding with an error that stating that the name string must be between 1 and 15 characters.... I first ran into this when trying to add my AIS hat using the following names "AIS" "dAISy", "dAISY_HAT" none of which openplotter like! So I add them using the advanced option. The problem then is I can only edit it using the advanced options or I end up with the same name eror. I'm currently on 0.17 of open plotter.
I'm sure this has been mentioned before. If so then just merge with the existing thread ( couldn't find one)
