Hooking Up An MPU Sensor

[happybike]

Running OpenPlotter 0.17.1 stable. Is this the latest version?

I have a BME-280 and an MPU-9265. Running the i2cdetect command detects them on addresses 76 and 68 respectively. OpenPlotter detects them on those addresses as well. However it detects the MPU as a MPU-9255. It also detects a random MS-5611 that I'm trying to figure out why. I can add the BME with the "add/update sensor" dropdown menu, but the MPU is not listed under the dropdown. Is there a way to manually add it? Thanks!

Latest OP version is 1.x.x: http://www.sailoog.com/blog-categories/openplotter-rpi

I am afraid the MPU-9265 is not supported, these are the supported IMUs:

I connected an IMU and can see the data in Openplotter tab under compass but cant get this into opencpn. It show as Invensense 9150 how do I get this data as Nmea 0183 into Opencpn

try either going to openplotter, tools, nmea 0183 generator, and select open cpn defaults.you may need a reboot?
you can do the same thing in signalk using the Convert Signal K to NMEA0183 plugin http://localhost:3000/admin/#/serverConf...on/plugins

signalk is easier

In Openplotter - NMEA 0183 if I select adress 127.0.0.1 Iand diagnostic I can see the values but still cant get it in opencpn

UPDATE to the newest version...https://github.com/sailoog/openplotter/blob/beta/CHANGELOG.md

you need to turn the data from the imu into nmea before opencpn will see it.

this is the signalk  dashboard




 this is openplotter go to Tools at the top above serial"USB" tab  pick nmea generator choose opencpn defaults.then opencpn will see it. this works on 0.17 also



if these images dont post right.. try right click open in new tab.

Thanks for the help.
Got it working had to add a connection in opencpn with port number 10109.

Can I send this data and Ais data to Simnet to use with other equipment?
