DVB-T USB dongle in Openplotter
#1
Hi, I build simple, cheap navigation on Raspberry Pi3b+ and Openplotter. I buy cheap DVB-T-DAB-FM USB Reciver (RTL2832U / RTL2838UHIDIR). I enable serial ports in raspi-config and add new connection on Connections tab in Opencpn GUI settings. I also see device in "Serial" App in apps menu. I go to /usr/bin and start rtl_test and everything was OK. I find that tutorial to calibrate SDR reciver but I can't find it in my Openplotter installation. Can somebody help me to make it work? What step do I have to make to auto recive data when I turn on Raspberry on boat?
Regards Przemek.

that tutorial is for the old openplotter v1. SDR features have not been ported to openplotter v2 yet but the openplotter-sdr-vhf app is already in the oven. Probably the next update of openplotter-settings will contain this new app.

Thanks for fast reply. Can You tell how much time it will took? days or months? It's better to wait or it's some other way to make it work manually? I find that tutorial https://www.fontenay-ronan.fr/ais-receiv...ment-14326
do I have to make those steps?

Hello, My situation looks that I live in central Poland where there's no water. I build offline navigation for my Father who is sailor and have own boat. There will be no internet on that boat. I have now DVB-T USB Dongle and waiting for my USB GPS Dongle. I have buy o-charts only for Polish Baltic Coast so I don't see any maps in my location. I want to set everything that when I go to my father citi and launch my Raspberry Pi it will just work (of course I will make calibration and everything in SDR VHF app there). Now I want just to test it will work with my opencpn. Is it possible in my situation?
I make steps that You post there but I don't know what to do next? I don't have connection in opencpn so I make it manualy.

I see that there also some entry in Serial App:

When I run System Check I see warning that: "There's not configured connection in Opencpn and there's not possible transfer data from SignalK, please make connection.
