This does not seem to work, says it cannot read property 'pipe' of undefined


Only way I have been able to get it to work is to add a serial connection withing opencpn, would love to get this working in OP

For me it worked nicely (my usb gps is an Ublox-8) : 

• in SK : Added one connection, input type NMEA, Enabled Yes, Logging YES, serial port : /dev/ttyACM0, Baud rate : 9600, Validate checksum Yes, Apply, Restart ;
  
• Then added in OpenCPN Options, tab Connection, Add Connection, network, input, TCP, Address : 10.10.10.1:10110, port 2927, priority 1, OK, and worked perfectly ... 
  

(beginner's luck, maybe ...)

well something is amiss... 10.10.10.1:10110 is basically saying "localhost"  port 10110 and then adding port 2927? shouldn't it be 2947?
also everything I have read says to use /dev/ttyUSB0  

Which instructions did you follow .... there is a lot of conflicting posts our there re Opencpn and openplotter and how to do this correctly.

also when you say NMEA do you mean 2000 or 0183?

I have it working but only through opencpn, and only via the serial connection, I read this is not correct and it should be done through SK... not sure why it matters... would be great to understand why

In OP1 we had serial tab to define serial devices and it was creating a connection in SK silently for users.
In OP2 we will have the serial app to define the serial devices (udev rules) but all serial ant network connections must be done in SK. It does not make sense doing this silently because now the SK interface is more than acceptable and users should be aware of this.

Hi, I've tried all the ways, everything works fine, but I can't configure the gps on usb and make it read signalK. I look forward to seeing that OP 2 is complete. Great anyway and good. Good job !

But you should be able to do it because OP2  serial app will no make any difference for this. What happens with your GPS an SK, any error?

Yah I am having similar challenges

1. in opencpn localhost and port 10110 for gpsd is producing no data stream... although I am not sure what data it would see without being able to setup SK the gps in SK
2. in SK the connections only produce errors

Hi ! in the empty box, in SignalK, to the right You must write /dev/ttyUSB0  The drop down list just shows You the available values. Not Cristal clear ;-)

A really good explanation how OP works is available at this link 

https://docs.sailoog.com/openplotter-v1-x-x/how-does-it-work

from the 1.2 documentation.

Updated my blogpost, at the end of the post for Beta V2 install, with the connection between OpenCPN and SignalK

https://pysselilivet.blogspot.com/2019/08/openplotter-beta-v2-quick-install-guide.html

Maybe it should be added by default by the install programs ?

Thank you MatsA
OK, well yah that was not very obvious from a newbies point of view, nor were the other empty boxes where I just made up labels. 
The old version doesn't have as many fields so the documentation does not cover some of this...
Glad there are people like yourself that are interested in making all this a little more user friendly. 
I looked at your blog, nice clear instructions.

Thanks
