As I understand it you trying to
- connect iSailor to the NMEA0183 feed of OpenPlotter over tcp (or udp?)
- have NMEA0183 autopilot control sentences produced by iSailor routed to your autopilot's NMEA0183 input via OpenPlotter
Is this correct?
It sounds like you are trying to connect iPad to your OpenPlotter AP and OpenPlotter to your iPad Wifi AP.
No need to to do - just being in the same wifi will be enough for the devices to talk to each other over the network. I would just use the wifi network established by OpenPlotter.
How is the iSailor Autopilot connection configured? I have iSailor but not the NMEA Autopilot option.
I would hazard a guess that it takes a hostname/ip adress and a port number for a tcp connection.
How is your autopilot connected to your boat's network / OpenPlotter?
