Hello everyone,
Can't start this first post without saying how flabbergasted I was when recently discovering OpenPlotter and my admiration for the enlighted developpers/sailors who created it!
My settings :
OP V1.0.0 on a RPi3B.
NMEA’s data stream from my GPS/AIS is coming via a USB serial FTDI cable and correctly read by OpenCPN.
I have chosen the AP/client setting via OP to be able to use RealVNC as desktop remote server.
BUT I was not able so far to connect seamlessly to the Internet in order to download grib files…
I managed to share an hazardous Internet connection via USB Teathering and my cellphone on one of the RPi usb port, but this solution did not prove very easy to implement for my «beginner’s skill » :-)
Is there any other/simpler way to run OP/RPi as an access point (for VNC) AND connect to harbor’s wifi Internet connection?
Many thanks in advance for tips and advise!
