I all,
this is my first time on this forum..
I've installed a gps BT antenna AMTEC on a RPI3 with BLUEZ on openPlotter 0.7.1, but no gps data in OpenCpn
some idea??
best regards
Hi
try setting the baud rate to 4800
Ciao
Hi Renato,
it doesn't work at 4800 baud too
thanks
Mauro
you can only connect with one device to the gps.
try to shut off all other devices the gps was connected before.
bluetooth gps was is a little tricky.
i will send you my solution.
after adding this,
the serial connection was well for me after every restart.
# sudo nano /etc/rc.local
add lines like this at the end with the MAC Adresses of your BT gps!
# bluetooth gps
rfcomm bind 0 00:15:4B:11:1A:95
#rfcomm bind 2 20:13:07:31:20:47
rfcomm bind 1 20:13:07:31:19:51
#rfcomm bind 3 00:15:4B:11:1A:95
then the serial stream should get into the rfcomm device, test it with:
cat /dev/rfcomm0

Hi, thanks a lot
Maybe I didn't understood!!!
I delete all the connection in openplotter setting and I add a new one for GPS BT

I tried to add those line
# bluetooth gps
rfcomm bind 0 00:02:C7:15:94:34
#rfcomm bind 2 00:02:C7:15:94:34
rfcomm bind 1 00:02:C7:15:94:34
#rfcomm bind 3 00:02:C7:15:94:34
in
sudo nano /etc/rc.local

But nothing happened
I tried also to add those line in open plotter advanced setting, but nothing happened...

hi Mario - if you setup with sudo you must read the dev also with these rights:
sudo cat /dev/rfcomm0
make /dev/rfcomm0 readable for user pi
sudo chown pi /dev/rfcomm0
or
sudo chmod +r /dev/rfcomm0
Also you only need one dev/rfcommx linefor your gps, the others are examples from my setup.
delete your second /DEV/RFCOMM line in rc.local. the # Lines are comments.
also you dont need these lines in kplex.conf - normaly this is only an one shot setup after booting. (/etc/rc.local)
but user pi must be able to read /dev/rfcomm0
good luck - Holger

If you bind you Bluetooth in /etc/rc.local to 1
THEN
you shoult read it in also in /dev/rfcomm1 and NOT rfcomm0

after boot, I open a terminal and I type:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
I add this two line:
# bluetooth gps
rfcomm bind 1 00:02:C7:15:94:34
I save and exit
than I type:
sudo rfcomm connect 1 00:02:C7:15:94:34 &
the bluetooh icon became green
tan I type:
sudo cat /dev/rfcomm1
the terminal starts giving data

If you have data in the terminal you are really close now.
Is OpenCPN listening to localhost 10110?
Do you have data in inspector window?
