Hi,

My setup is signalk 2.3.0, chart plotter freeboard 2.3.1 and pypilot 0.42
When I make a route active in freeboard I would like that pypilot follow the track.
I use the plugin "Convert Signal K to NMEA0183" with  "APB - Autopilot info" checked in my server K server.
I can see in the log window that the server send the right sentences on port 10110, but my pypilot don't catch the course.
On the tab "Configuration" of the Pypilot webpage I have write the Ip and the Port of my server.  

Has somebody successfully configured a signalk K server to send APB to the pypilot?

Best regards

Vincent

Next to APB, you also need RMC messages for the 'GPS mode' to be enabled in pypilot. See https://github.com/pypilot/workbook/wiki...3-messages

You need to first ensure that pypilot supports gps mode. This means that pypilot is somehow receiving gps. If this is working, ensure pypilot receives APB nmea messages on port 20220. The most recent version of pypilot will create a "NAV" mode when both gps and route following is available.

previous versions simply treated gps mode as nav mode when apb was received.

To make the connection between the serveur (signalk) and tinypilot, I active the mdns mode in the setting page.
Then I go to the security/Access request page and I valid the pypilot connection, finally In security/Device I give Read/Write access ti pypilot.
My  device is now connected and I can see it in the data browser (navigation.attitude).
The pypilot take the GPS of the server but don't follow the track!
