OK, I understand.
I don't think I need to connect the plotter to any marina wifi or phone, I don't need this on my plotter. Once it is set up for the season, I will only update the maps over the winter, so I don't think I need any internet connection.
I'll just try to run as an access point on the "main" device in the cabin, and connect the device in the helm position as a client, so it gets the SignalK data etc. I will try again settign the main device as an access point, but there does nto seem to be an option for only AP, which is the best one to try?
So that is my plan:
Device 1 - main cabin Pi 3b+
Moitessier HAT
External Serial
Only onboard WFI unit, no WiFi Dongle
Working only as AP
Device 2 - helm position Pi 3b+
Only onboard WFI unit, no WiFi Dongle
Working only as client connected to Device 1
Does this sound OK?
