Some new problems
Openplotter doesn not see the arduino in the serial ports.
i installed the arduino ide on the raspberry, but no ports in usb manager

i tried a mega, a teensy a due and an uno.

any thougths ?

Arduino ide does find the ports?

how do i check that or better fix that ?

There is nothing to fix.

Open the arduino ide
TOOLS->Serial Ports. There are the serial ports you have.
Another option is to use the Terminal
ls /dev/tty*
add or disconnect the arduino and see what changed
ls /dev/tty*

Why it is better to use the usb-manager for openplotter look at:

u r trying to recreate MPGuino

just reuse proven code with years behind it and many member coders

Something else worth considering is the ESP32 or ESP8266 and pass the data over wifi. I haven't got a ESP32 to play with yet but the ESP8266 works OK over wifi. Programmed just like an Arduino. This sketch connects to the AIS nmea output of a GX2100 radio and sends the data to openplotter.
The ESP32 looks even more powerful. 
Also, adding a ADS1115 board to Openplotter means you can measure battery voltage so you can keep and eye if all this stuff is draining your bank too much  

You'll need a serial to TTL convertor to get NMEA into an arduino or ESP, cheap on ebay.

Code:

/**  This sketch sends broadcast udp message.

//const char* password = "*******";

unsigned int udpRemotePort=10112;
unsigned int udplocalPort=2390;

char udpBuffer[ UDP_PACKET_SIZE];


String  inData;


WiFiUDP udp;
WiFiClient espClient;
PubSubClient client(espClient);
SoftwareSerial mySerial(14, 12);


void callback(char* topic, byte* payload, unsigned int length) {
Serial.print("Message arrived [");
Serial.print(topic);
Serial.print("] ");
for (int i=0;i<length;i++) {
 char receivedChar = (char)payload[i];
 Serial.print(receivedChar);
 }
 Serial.println();
}


void reconnect() {
 // Loop until we're reconnected
 while (!client.connected()) {

i installed the arduino ide on the raspberry, but no ports in usb manager

i tried a mega, a teensy a due and an uno.

any thougths ?

Any news? I was planning to have an Arduino Mega connected to the Raspberry via Serial (USB) as well.

Could you connect at the end?

I just tried an ESP8266 and arduino nano connected with USB cable - both showed up in the serial tab straight away.

[jim321]

i just installed two arduinos USB one nano with pypilot motor sketch the other is a mega firmata standard.
both work ,but if i choose the mega in op's serial tab give it the name "FIRM" in node-red the gpio node screws up N-R.freezes.
without it in op serial and node-red runs smooth.
it seems to keep the same serial ttyACM0 after several reboots

i guess they don't like to share
