Thanks for the quick response and link. When I look at my menu; Tools.. There is no option for NMEA Generator. My goal is to take specific fields out of GPGLL, GPVTG, HDHDT, and VMVBW. From there, I create a custom NMEA sentence with just the fields I want. Direct ocean current readings are calculated in real time from the data. Hopefully I can do this in Open Plotter and get away from a Windows machine with Open CPN.
Our electromagnetic transducer measures both FWD and LEE directly with boat angle calculated from these two values. With COG, SOG, and HDG data, we can calculate currents. http://www.brickhouseinnovations.com
BTW: This link (toward the bottom of the page) is where I saw the NMEA Converter plugin working with OpenPlotter / Raspberry pi. https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/doku.p..._converter
I know extremely little about Raspberry Pi and would love to be able to drop in the NMEA converter plugin. I just cant find the file or install.
