GPS USB-Mouse is no longer recognized by OpenCPN

Hopefully one day I will be able to answer RTFM
Sorry guys there are still basic stuff that we need to write on the manual.

I have a BU-353S4 GPS puck which I managed to configure with OpenCPN so that it reads the GPS data using GPSD. I then set it up to broadcast this information on a local network and the RPI Wifi using UDP. I also have Open CPN running on a Microsoft Surface and Windows desktop and they pick up the GPS data either connected to my home network or to the RPi WiFi. This all works perfectly.



However the OpenPlotter documentation states that all NMEA0183, including GPS should go through Kplex. But there is very sparse documentation on how to set up OpenCPN.

OpenPlotter instructions for OpenCPN 

Searching the BB, I came across this thread and followed the instructions, but I just cannot get OP to recognize the GPS puck, so I thought I ask this group for assistance.

I unplugged the GPS and rebooted RPi and then plugged in the puck.



When I then go into OP, I see the following under Serial.



 It doesn't matter what I name the GPS, or how i assign it, it still doesn't see to be recognized because I get the same message when i click on auto.

However, I assume that the GPS assignment should be Kplex with a baud rate of 4800. When I do this it does appear in Kplex.



Notice that I added the UDP settings to broadcast the GPS information across the network at home or on the boat as I did in OpenCPN.

However I do not see any messages when I click on Diagnostic in Kplex.



I could also not see the arguments of the timeout exception. That is a full window screen grab.

So I'm frustrated and confused. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

I seem to have got it working by assigning GPSD to the puck in the serial tab. I also added the UDP broadcast out on the Kplex tab for my home and boat networks and I can attach to the GPS on the other computers on both networks.

However I am still getting the error when I click on auto on the serial tab.
