Following up - The article I'm following said:
Plugging in a very basic configuration of a router and hub into the Garmin 5212 allowed Garmin BlueChart IOS to communicate with the 5212. The only configuration of was to use 172.16.0.0/16.
OK. I found this post http://forum.openmarine.net/showthread.p...ght=Garmin in the forum on the same topic, and following e-sailing's advice I now have a br0 connection to 172.16.0.0. On my laptop, i disabled the wifi, and connected ethernet cable between the pi and laptop, started opencpn and set up a connection to 172.16.0.0:10110 and Yes! - I get the nmea data. Moved the ethernet cable to the Garmin plotter and no devices found....
So, perhaps I need port 16 as mentioned in the article. In Openplotter on the NMEA tab I set up a connection to 172.16.0.0 port 16 as TCP out and enabled it. On the laptop I edited the opencpn connection to 172.16.0.0:16 and activated it... but no nmea data.
If I go back to 172.16.0.0:10110 in opencon I see the nmea data, but nothing to 172.16.0.0:16.
I tried to disable the default opencpn TCP out connection to port 10110, but even though deselected, it restarts when I hit apply. I tried to edit kplex.conf and #comment the opencpn section, but it restarts.
So... does anyone know:
1) Does all Openplotter nmea output go to port 10110 regardless of setting a new TCP out connection to a different port? Anyway to override that for testing this ?
2) Is it possible that there is contention with the opencpn tcp out connection? If so, is there a way to disable it?
Thanks for any thoughts, ideas, expertise!
