Optimum OCPN/OP connections ?

Thanks - I think the fog is slowly lifting but I still get mixed up with SK Input and Output events ...
Does your "wind" device also have a NMEA repeater / autopilot attached ?
I dont understand why you'd send gps data to your wind instruments ?

Holger described it well. The word "event" might be a bit confusing, might be helpful to think of "events" as "channels" maybe? So the gps connection sends the data automatically to "event" or "channel" "nmea0183" (all nmea data gets sent to "nmea0183") It also gets sent to "channel" "gps_nmea". Then the output pin of the serial/usb is connected to the vhf radio gps nmea01283 input wire.
