[SOLVED] false connection error in "check system" - wbartoszy - 2020-08-05

After upgrading OpenCPN to v.5.2 (supports SignalK), I connected openCPN to signalK server directly (deleted connection via TCP - NMEA0183).
This works, but "Check system" reports error:
"The default OpenCPN connection is disabled and is not getting data from Signal K. Please enable this connection in OpenCPN:
Network
Protocol: TCP
Address: localhost
Data Port: 10110"

OpenPlotter version: 2
Raspberry Pi version: 4B 4GB
Connected devices: only GNSS reciver (Hollux m-215+)

yes, this will be changed on next version. We will make the signal k connection the default one instead of the NMEA 0183

RE: false connection error in "check system" - wbartoszy - 2020-08-05

Maybe better "SignalK" OR "NMEA0183"? (in "Check system")

RE: false connection error in "check system" - Sailoog - 2020-08-05

Since we are generating most of the data in SK format in openplotter, the SK connection in opencpn should be "mandatory".
What we could add is a warning about duplicated data if you have a SK connection and a NMEA 0183 connection to TCP localhost 10110

RE: false connection error in "check system" - wbartoszy - 2020-08-06

OK thank you. I understood.

BTW: I see new strings to translate (on Crowdin). But DataPort is (in both strings) empty. Shouldn't the value "3000" be there (like "10110" in TCP/NMEA 0183)?

RE: false connection error in "check system" - Sailoog - 2020-08-06

DataPort value will be there, it is not translatable because it will be replaced by the current Signal k port. Remember that you can set a different port than 3000 in openplotter-signalk-installer app.

fixed in openplotter-opencpn-installer 2.2.1

Unfortunately, not all data so far accessed via nmea 0183 from the SignalK server is directly accessible via the SignalK protocol...
It's a bit strange and surprising...

I have no idea how to provide ONLY the sequence "GSV" from the GNSS receiver, especially since the conversion with the plugin "SignalK-to-NMEA0183" does not include this sequence to choose from... Turn on the plugin-converter (SK->nmea0183) with no any sequences marked?

Signalk doesn't decode GSV nmea messages into sigK data. Messages which are decoded automatically are here >
https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-parser-nmea0183
GSV NMEA messages received by signalk server on a connection get sent straight out again on port 10110, no point in using the sigk-nmea converter, the message is there already. If you want the dashboard to receive those then you can set up a tcp connection in opencpn as well as the sigK connection to just receive GSV messages on tcp port 10110, the dash will then display the sat data.
