Send nmea0183 to ethernet connected chart plotter
#1
I have a Garmin gpsmap 5212. It supports 3 network ports, an nmea0183 port and a nmea2000 port. I'd like to connect it to the pi3 OP v0.17.0 by ethernet to the network port. 

I tried to enable bridge to eth0 on the WiFi AP tab, clicked apply, and see br0 connection. I connected an ethernet cable from the pi to the chart plotter, but when I go through the Garmin comms setup, "no network device is found." 

I bumped into this site http://www.patmcqueen.com/home/garminmarine which details the use of the specific IP addresses 172.16.x.x. as the magic sauce in a different situation - they were trying to get data OUT of the chartplotter to an AP point to be accessed by idevices back in 2013. I want to get the data IN. Its a good read - short and concise and I think it can help solve this puzzle. 


I've searched through the forum and tried to specify the static ip address in /etc/network/interfaces, with and without removing the #generated by openplotter line. 
I've tried changing the WiFi address to 172.16.0.20 etc in ~/.config/openplotter/openplotter.conf , but after rebooting, ifconfig shows me as 10.10.10.1, and /etc/network/interfaces is overwritten by openplotter to 10.10.10.1. And after disabling 'bridge to eth0' wlan0 no longer is in the drop down box so, OP wont let me apply any changes to the WiFi settings. Reboots are my friend....   

I have zero depth in networking, and have run out of ideas. 

Has anyone had success setting up an ethernet bridge w OP, or have ideas about how to solve this puzzle? 

Many thanks.

Hank
