How do I send OpenCPN routes/waypoints to autopilot via Openplotter?
#5
I had installed it via manually typing 'npm i signalk-to-nmea2000' That's why.

I've now installed both the NMEA200 and Raymarine Autopilot apps via the Signalk App store. I have activated them. There are no documents at all re the Raymarine plugin. The plugin config asks for "Autopilot N2K Device ID". The default is 204. I have left it that.

What is next though? I have an active route in OpenCPN but still when I press 'track' on my autopilot it still says "No data"

I have configured a UDP connection in OpenCPN on 127.0.0.1 and port 10110 and set the following sentences - XTE,ECRMB,ECRMC,ECAPB

That should send NMEA01893 data to Kplex. It looks like this is working as I can see the sentences when I visit the kplex diagnostic tab for both system and Signalk.

So they are getting to Signalk, but from then on I don't seem to have anyway to check what's happening. I can't see any NMEA2000 diagnostics so have no way to know if Signalk is actually outputting the required data, or if the autopilot is receiving it.
