After removing hostapd it acts like it's trying to upgrade.
What seems to bungle it up was the OP update script automatically calling for raspbian upgrade scripts prior to installing the OP upgrade. There's a bug noted by hostapd's developer in the way the i[dated version handles some of it's .conf files that seemed to be causing it to error which halts he entire OP upgrade script.
Hopefully I can re-install hostapd after the OP upgrade, meanwhile I'm thinking it's time to order another Pi to see if that's part of the issue. As with most things linux it takes a few trys to get things working correctly when it involves new to me material.
Is there a particular Pi model that's best suited for OP?
I originally planned to use a 3B+ with a small touch screen as an AP (or cabled to the boats AP) linked to a client pypilot Pi, then network the 3B+ as an AP to other devices such as smart phones or laptops.
Related question - is there a good thread here detailing how to best configure NMEA serving? I'm realizing there are some nuances where OPcn can serve a connected GPS. I tried a GPS donle attached directly to the pypilot but for some reason I can't get gpsd data to networked OCpn instances; I've tried ports 2947, 10110, 20220, etc... what am I missing.
How have others meshed their devices and data streams successfully? Are there any screen shots of simple OP server or OCpn settings?
Thanks,
