Hi everyone,
I have a Raspberry pi3 with openplotter 0.8.0 installed. I connected my wind station through a serial / USB converter but on the dashboard opencpn "app. wind speed and direction" I have no indication. On inspector I see nmea data transit but on opencpn nmea debug window I have no data nmea.
What could be the problem?
Thanks
Gas

Many thanks for the info Gas.
I have my system working with GPS, AIS and System Clock kept up-to-date by GPS. I also have the whole suite of CM93 Charts covering the entire world:
I've not yet got an NMEA Masthead Wind Unit but that's next on the list. It will probably be a NASA unit as they are easily available in the UK and look well made:
I wonder if you've had any luck solving your problem yet?

If inspector does show you nmea sentences and opencpn nothing. Then there is something wrong with your connection settings in opencpn.
Opencpn settings should be:
(Net 127.0.0.1:10110 1 TCP Input In:None, Out: None)
(Net 127.0.0.1:10110 1 UDP Output In:None, Out: Send RMB)

I have checked the connection settings in opencpn and it's corrects. The strange things is that GPS sentences are present in inspector and in opencpn and gps works correctly!

It looks like you made a step forward. "On inspector I see nmea data transit but on opencpn nmea debug window I have no data nmea."
So you have on both sides nmea. Please post some wind NMEA sentences from Inspector (MWV, VWR) should look like:
$IIMWV,313,T,08.16,N,A*2B

There is no checksum at the end of each sentence. Has been discussed before.

Does it solve your problem?

Ok, I'll try to disable the checksum control on Opencpn TCP connection.
