alpha tinypilot image - seandepagnier - 2020-08-25 I have rewritten large portions of pypilot since december (the last stable release) and finally have a tinypilot image to share. I do not suggest everyone upgrade because it is not really tested and proven yet, but if you are curious or want to offer testing please give it a shot: https://pypilot.org/images/tinypilot_23082020.img.xz The new features include:
RE: alpha tinypilot image - SYWindveer - 2020-08-26 Hello Sean, I have downloaded the image and looked at some of the improvements you made, very impressive. I was looking forward to an RF remote and AP client mode. Will you share a new hardware recipe in the near future? Curious to learn how the remote communicates with the RasPi, maybe using the SPI bus. With the additional buttons The Pi may be running out of GPIO lines. Building a waterproof remote with many functions is not so easy. For my current tillerpilot I built a Seatalk remote using a cheap 4 button keyfob. Standby /Auto, steer port/starboard and tack is enough I like the new functionality and plan to hold off making a nice enclosure until the new tinypilot is finalized. RE: alpha tinypilot image - seandepagnier - 2020-08-26 there is an arduino on the spi bus. This provides the 7 additional gpio (they can also maybe do analog inputs in the future) as well as the rf receiver and additional nmea port. I will post a schematic soon.

Hi Sean So i installed this new image on my old TinyPilot which I have not been using since the compass started tp wandering. I have not had a chance to calibrate yet but I did have some difficulty with getting it connected to the Pypilot plugin I did notice it boots faster, I noticed it was much more responsive when using the remote, and I notice an improved ui on the webapp. I set a static IP address without any challenges and it connected no problem. It did not seem to detect and automatically connect to signal K, I added my own connection but regardless the pypilot plugin I just updated today still (0.10) did not connect to it, other then changing the connection IP within the plugin, I used 10.10.10.60 and adding the 20220 tcp connection to 10.10.10.60 is there anything else I need to do? The Dashboard is getting pitch,heel, heading etc.. RE: alpha tinypilot image - seandepagnier - 2020-08-27 You have to grant read/write access in signalk web interface. Maybe this the reason? the opencpn pypilot plugin must be recompiled from git Otherwise, have a look at the log, or ssh into tinypilot and: stop pypilot: sudo sv d pypilot pypilot have a look at the output, there may be clues about signalk.

Thanks Sean I think this looks correct? I have a read/write connection in SignalK. It took a bit of digging around but I found the spot where I can approve the connection and edit it to be read/write I did build the plugin from git yesterday using these instructions git clone https://github.com/pypilot/pypilot_pi cd pypilot_pi mkdir build cd build cmake .. make sudo make install Is that the correct repository? here is a section of the pypilot log that looks to be the sk connection attempt. Code: servo probe False But even though all this looks correct I still do not have a connection on the Pypilot plugin....? Not sure about the values in the dashboard either, but the imu has not been calibrated so maybe that is why the values are not making any sense? RE: alpha tinypilot image - seandepagnier - 2020-08-29 it appears you are getting heading pitch and roll from pypilot to signalk correct? Can you see this in the data browser. I'm going to play with the plugin and try to find problems. RE: alpha tinypilot image - rastam4n - 2020-08-29 Yes. And that data is being received by the openCPN dashboard RE: alpha tinypilot image - seandepagnier - 2020-08-29 hmm.. something seems wrong with the conversions, maybe it's degrees vs radians RE: alpha tinypilot image - rastam4n - 2020-08-29 (2020-08-29, 11:00 PM)seandepagnier Wrote: hmm.. something seems wrong with the conversions, maybe it's degrees vs radians Here's a few screen shots of the data browser... I had already reverted back to using the Moiteissier hat as I am planning on going fishing but I reconnected the tiny pilot to signal k so I could show you the data... that is why there are two sets for each set of data... interesting how different they are. Keep in mind the TinyPilot has not yet been calibrated. |
