AIS and NMEA input to OpenPlotter 0.8 - Arne - 2017-02-20 Hello! I have bought myself a Matsutec HP-33A AIS transponder, which seems to be doing what it should do, but I have some trouble getting the NMEA0183 stream working in to OpenPlotter... I have tried several different USB/NMEA converters, but the best I can get is distorted text/binary from the USB port. Can this be a baudrate issue, all my other inputs are 4800 and I can read the stream straight from the port, but the AIS is putting out 38400bps - can that be the problem? See the attached picture to see how it looks like, the AIS on ttyUSB4 and the old GPS dongle on ttyUSB1... Is there a way to force USB4 to 38400 bps? RE: AIS and NMEA input to OpenPlotter 0.8 - Arne - 2020-04-15 Answering myself here - I bought one of these and the AIS data has been flowing without any problem ever since. https://digitalyacht.co.uk/product/usb-nmea-adaptor/ Yes, it's pricey but it works on the RPi, with 38400 bps transfer rate. |
