Pypilot with existing N2K network & PI3B - Les Noble - 2021-11-04 Newbie PI user jumping in to the mix. I have a working electric motor from '90 era autopilot. I also have a PI 3b and a B&G chartplotter and N2K network with wind, depth etc. How would I get "pypilot hat" to use network data? There is this hat and if workable, would the pypilot hat sit on top? https://copperhilltech.com/pican-m-nmea-0183-nmea-2000-hat-for-raspberry-pi-with-smps/ I am assuming pypilot could pull data from PI inputs via openplotter or opencpn. Pushing my luck: I would also like to have weather injected into the network; baro, temp, humidity. I am assuming I could add a weather hat or card. Thoughts, advice or any input appreciated. RE: Pypilot with existing N2K network & PI3B - seandepagnier - 2021-11-05 The pypilot hat uses the i2c, spi, and uart pins. The others are optional but serve other functions. Check the schematic https://pypilot.org/schematics/pypilot_tinypilot.pdf It is not usually possible to stack arbitrary hats on a raspberry pi. Another option would be to use a separate pi zero w for pypilot and have it networked to another raspberry pi with your other hat. |
