Couple questions..
Setting up a tinypilot on a Zero 2w connected to openplotter, pretty much there but yet to get signalk pith & roll into signalk running on openplotter. I can see the nmea on tcp 20220 but can't find any sigK data - does tinypilot output Sigk? MDNS is turned on in the sigK server.

Also calibration, think I had it but does it "uncalibrate?"
Saw this in the opencpn plug calibration tab >

With "sphere3 fit" thought that was that but maybe not - does "need more range" mean it's "uncalibrated" itself? Should I lock it after a " sphere3 fit" message. 

One last one, is it possible to enable/disable & +10/-10 using a wifi put command or similar? Would be nice to have a little remote using a spare  esp8266.

Thanks! Install was pretty quick and easy really 

Hi PaddyB,

did you check on your signalk server under security? There should be a new access request. When you allow it, both systems should be connected. It looks as if you have to calibrate indeed.

No access requests received in the server. I found this being broadcast on tcp port 2947 on the zero IP address when the PiZero boots up.
{"class":"VERSION","release":"3.23.1","rev":"3.23.1","proto_major":3,"proto_minor":14}

The calibration seems weird, I need to take the setup ashore the get a stable platform to calibrate, if it needs recalibrating then that looks like it will happen every time the sensor is on the boat.

Did you look at the following thread: https://forum.openmarine.net/showthread....754&page=9 ? There were several updates to make it work. Calibration hasn't been an issue for me; first tell when the boat is horizontal, then I usually make a few rounds on the engine. It took me a while to get a good sensor though. If I had to start over I'd buy one from Sean, since he tests them before sending.

You might want to check off the items on signalk connection first at https://github.com/pypilot/workbook/wiki...k-zeroconf. To troubleshoot, disable the pypilot service, run pypilot at the prompt, and post the output here.

Here you will also find the following remark: "With regard to heel and pitch, these readings are affected by the compass heading offset that is set in the compass calibration screen. See https://forum.openmarine.net/showthread....2#pid17922. This effect makes the usability of pitch and heel somewhat non-universal." In other words: there is a big chance that pitch and heel are not usable because they are intermixed. What you need them for?

Think it's very close to being  sorted, thanks  hans-martijn!! 
This post did it https://forum.openmarine.net/showthread....7#pid23717 though not managed get it saved to tinypilot yet. 

Heel & pitch > " What you need them for? "  - don't know yet   
Though had it working before with pypilot on a Pi4 & logging, was interesting seeing when the fishing boats went out with a blip in the graphs as the wash rocked the boat in the anchorage. Might be handy to compare sail trim & speed to heel when reefing, or maybe a rough idea of sea state. I just love data, sometimes you find things in the plots that are useful but unexpected. 

THANKS GUYS!! 

Think it loads on boot now. From https://forum.openmarine.net/showthread....7#pid23717 ..

I went into tinypilot over ssh, user tc, password pypilot then

added  python3.8-urllib3 python3.8-chardet python3.8-certifi python3.8-idna to the  # start pypilot section 

now looks like>
then
filetool.sh -b
to save the changes to disk.

Now after rebooting tinypilot it creates a websocket in signalk (after device added read/write) and send pitch/roll7yaw & heading data.
YAY!!
