General help wanted on multiplexing

'The missing link is that I can not get iSailor to send the XTE autopilot control signals from on the iPad, back to the Autohelm via Openplotter.'
       It isn't XTE where you looking for. You need RMB sentences for the autopilot.
       I haven't got iSailor by hand but I can simulate the right settings with opencpn (If this works you can look for iSailor)
1. filter incomming sentences for autopilot. (Don't let AIS etc. flood your bottleneck 4800 communication to the autopilot!!!!)
     you need some gps (and optional some wind data)
2. block loops in general. (Don't send RMB sentences to signalk)
3. You have to setup a new TCP network in kplex. (The standard settings for TCP with direction both in openplotter relies on this thread (http://forum.openmarine.net/showthread.php?tid=753) and belongs to communicate with shipmodule. This doesn't work for opencpn.)

test Example where we use port 10100 for bidirectional TCP communication with opencpn


click on Advanced and insert the sentences below ###Manual settings


setup opencpn to the following piture (backup the default settings (or make a picture) before you start this example)



Let opencpn control the autopilot.
right click on the chart and click Navigate To Here

in openplotter page Kplex click restart
click on st6002 line and click on Diangnostic

Now you should see output sentences to autopilot including (RMB)
If this works switch off opencpn and try with iSailor IP 10.10.10.1 and port 10100
