Bingo. openplotter-network is expecting ESSID, Rate, Quality and level parameters for each interface but your device (wlan1) does not have Rate and crashes the program. Easy fix. Thanks!

Ralink dongle for comparison:

Sailoog,

You asked (about SensESP and signal k)
that is what it seems, do you have a link to that example?

Apologies for the delay in responding

https://signalk.org/SensESP/pages/getting_started/

The keys in question are contained in the project template and documented in the section “observe data from the device”

I’ve begun looking at the network (Wi-Fi) configuration with rpi os 64 and op3.

I pre-configured the settings using raspberry pi imager v1.7.2 hostname, ssh password, ssid, password etc.and it worked ok.

I added a second Wi-Fi (usb dongle) on my pi4. Intending to use it as a hotspot

a) using a ralink device

- the ssid and password were mirrored from the main Wi-Fi on the pi and

- op3 network app opened

b) using a different  Wi-Fi dongle (realtek)

- the dongle remained unassociated

- op3 network app failed to start.

Running Openplotter-network gives the following response:


pi@raspberrypi:~ $ openplotter-network

It may be that the Realtek is not supported, I did have problems with it on the buster release.

I'm actually not on the boat... In 4 Weeks I can check it out.

all my OpenCPN versions on several systems, also Linux Mint,amd64, run in the Flatpak mode. I think that becomes the standard for OpenCPN and the plugins.

As you can see in the image, data from my GPS mouse works from the SignalK server. The Oesenc charts plugin for the usb plug also works. But therefore you need the beta plugins.

Not all the the apps are available. But with my  "hand" installed Debian Bullseye for the RPI extended with the OpenPlotter extra's. Every thing allready works !

Doing also a test with the Ubuntu Jammy Jelly. There the OpenPlotter add-ons does not work.

I'am using a Pi4 with 2 GB.

Regards,

Bram

- Flatpak is only the standard for arm64 and no Debian distributions. For the rest of Debian derivatives the recommended way is using PPA sources including armhf.

- There is not beta version of "oeSENC plugin", are you talking about the new "o-charts plugin"?

- Although an OpenPlotter 2 app could be forced and installed in OpenPlotter 3 it does not mean that it works. Everything must be revised and deeply tested before publishing.

- As I have told you many times OpenPlotter add-ons will never work in non LTS Ubuntu versions.

Hello,

I have now Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installed on my computer and would like to install OpenPlotter and all plugins.
When can I start with the alpha version?

I tried with Settings 2.9.1 then OpenCPN Installer 2.2.3 then tried to install OpenCPN 5.6.2.2~ubuntu18.04.1
I had following error: (Translated from French sorry)

Reading package lists...

OK, do not worry, this issue is now clear to me. Thanks.

OpenPlotter 2 is only for Ubuntu 18 LTS and 20 LTS.

For Ubuntu 22 LTS you need Openlotter 3, go to the docs in the first post of this thread.

openplotter-network updated fixing errors. Paul M test please.

Thanks Sailoog, again a quick turnaround- thanks.

I’ll take a look, may be a couple of days, trip up the mast to fix wind transducer planned for tomorrow.

Also, I see the doc is behind the s/w development and was wondering if I could help with that? Pm me if you think I could help.

Paul

Just looking at the network app, I’m a little confused (not difficult - I know only sufficient to be dangerous!) but I would expect to be able to set an IP address when setting up an access point configuration?

Not sure if this has already been posted but when using the onscreen keyboard, there is no way to input numbers or any other non-alpha characters.

I found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7057...ard-layout so apparantly it's not an openplotter issue, but maybe we can default to another onscreen keyboard or use the provided fix?

Network app 3.4.1 - After a couple of reboots following access point setup , IP address seems now to be set to 10.10.10.1 and also ssid set to Openplotter and also what was wlan1 is now wlan9

I need the idiots guide - sorry but it does seem to be working with the ralink dongle.
