ShipModul MiniPlex-42USB

[robbiedeloose]

Hi,

I'm using a ShipModul MiniPlex-42USB to combine my nmea183 data. Untill now I connected out-1 to a serial to usb convertor to get the data to the raspberry.

I saw somebody else was trying to connect a shipmodul multiplexer (altough a never version if i'm remembering correctly) in the cruiserforum thread. This was before the usb manager was in place and I don't think it was mentioned again in that thread.

So, here it goes:

Miniplex is getting data on channel 1 from a laptop running VDRplayer and outputting that on the serial port.

Miniplex is recognised by raspbian

Code:

The usb manager recognises the usb device as well.






When I open Inspector, no nmea183 data is shown.

any ideas?
