I am stuck trying to get "raw" NMEA0183 sentences into Node-red. When I try to listen to TCP:10110, I get the following message:

unable to listen on port 10110, error: Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::10110

I am able to see messages using the SignalK subscribe node without issue. For example, naviagation.datetime is providing time every second consistently. However, I need the raw NMEA0183 messages such as $GPZDA,hhmmss.ss,dd,mm,yyyy,xx,yy*CC so that I can pass on sentences on to my VHF and ST6000 autopilot. I am using the Pi as a multiplexer. The Pi will receive message from my wind sensor and AIS and then share them with the VHF and autopilot wirelessly.

In the terminal, I am able to use sudo cat /dev/ttyACM0 and can see the NMEA sentences coming in. However when I try to use a Serial In node in node-red, I receive the following message:

"[serialconfig:8de97bce.607f8] serial port /dev/ttyACM0 error: Error: Error: No such file or directory, cannot open /dev/ttyACM0"

I was hoping that this plug-in: https://github.com/vokkim/nmea0183-to-nmea0183 would be the answer however I am lost at the first step. How does one Add NMEA0183 provider to SignalK configuration with a SentenceEvent option?

My node-red flow is here:

Thank you for any help you can offer! I have been trying solutions for the last three hours and am banging my head.

I had to change the TCP node from "Listen on" to "Connect to" and now I can see all the NMEA 0183 on 10110.

Still not sure why I can't use the Serial In node.

Usually best to let signalk take care of all the connections then if you want to get at the data node-red can get it from signalk. So all serial connections get configured in signalk/connections.

If you want to control what data goes to a different serial port then signalk events is usually better. Signalk does all the multiplexing you likely need.

https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-serve...tting-Data

Events can be a little confusing at first, might be better thought of as "channels"? I send gps pos data like this -
USB GPS in>

USB serial output to VHF (shares with wind data coming in) >

So anything coming in from the GPS gets labeled as gps-nmea and sent out again through the 'wind' usb/serial. All incoming nmea sentences get sent out again over tcp 10110.
The port addresses above were created by openoplotter with the serial app.
