Connecting NMEA Wind data from NASA Clipper

[PaddyB]

Question is: Is there anything we NASA equipment owners can do about it ... any ideas about possible fixes?

Node red can do that for you. First you need to make sure nothing else is talking to the serial port so delete any entries pointing to it in the serial tab of openplotter. 

Then go into 10.10.10.1:1880 an look for a serial node on the left. 


Drag the input onto the main screen then drag the debug node and connect the output little box on the left of the serial node to the input of the debug node. Double click on the serial node and fill in the path to the serial port - something like /dev/tty...
Then click deploy and you should see the data streaming in the debug tab on the left of the screen. If the serial node isn't there you'll need to install it, easy enough, in the menu button top right there's a manage palette option, click on that then on install and search for serial, then install node-red-node-serialport and it should now be available. Once we confirm data is coming in we can go onto the next step. Node red is great!!
