Full Version: opencpn: activate route automatically

would like to display mv SOG on a Clipper Easylog NMEA display.

It works quite well, but every time i start the Raspberry, i have to open a VNC connection and activate a route, in order to make opencpn output RMC statements. 

Is there a way to make opencpn activate any route automatically? 

Or is there an easier way to make opencpn generate RMC statements? 


Best regards, 
Tobias

The experts will arrive soon but in the meantime ...

Have you defined a connection to your NMEA display in SignalK ?
In the OpenPlotter configuration, NMEA output from OCPN is filtered so that OCPN only transmits the RMB sentence
RMC would normally be generated by your GPS, sent to SignalK as a GPS SignalK Connection and then out to OCPN and other listening connections including your NMEA display
(if configured in SignalK)
Hence my first question

You could try an output from Signalk > https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-serve...tting-Data
Remove the serial connection to the nasa from opencpn and set it up as a connection in signalk with nmea0183out as output events, then activate the signalk-nmea and select RMC. Not tried this so good luck! Smile
