A beginner can manage it! - RPi3 + Sensehat

[PaddyB]

My setup:

1. Raspberry Pi 3 in Shortcrust case
   
2. Sensehat moved out of Shortcrust case with 2x20 pin ribbon cable (pulled GPIO connector block off of of bottom of Sensehat to allow correct connection)
   
3. Downloaded 0.10.0 OP from the website & installed it
   
4. Updated everything from the update tab in OP (Raspbian, OpenCPN, OP to 0.15.1)
   
5. In OP ticked the Mag Heading, heel & pitch in the Compass tag
   
6. In OP Added the listed sensors in the I2C tab
   
7. In OP Tools > NMEA 0183 Generator > OpenCPN defaults
   
8. In OpenCPN right click Dashboard > Preference: Add, Heel, Pitch
   
9. Headless, VNC to Nexus 7 2012
   
10. Signal K to 'phone
    
11. I will scan my charts for Lisbon (or maybe make a copy stand for my SLR and then stitch photos) 
    
12. I have bought John Thorn's MAPC2MAPC software to calibrate scans
    
13. Just waiting for a GPS and a 12V -> 5V DC supply from Sailoog's site to complete
    
14. I'm Superstitious
    

Looks great, well done!   Couple thoughts, I prefer using the opencpn android app, it's quicker than VNC and still uses all the wifi ais/gps etc data. There are 2 versions in the app store, the free one is old and not supported, the paid version is the real one, doesn't cost much.
Also, for charts have you looked at ge2kap ? Using that and sasplanet you can make charts from navionics.
