Oh - it's not a feature request, was just a random question that popped up. But I missed that thread so I'll look into it and update the workbook accordingly.

Eventually the commands listed below will be integrated into openplotter eliminating this step, but for now: I cannot get into "github" from Terminal. See screenshot attached. What can be done? RE: pypilot on openplotter 3 - ironman - 2022-11-15 If it says 'unable to resolve' it cannot contact a DNS server. Wild guess: you are not connected to the internet. You might try plugging in an ethernet cable connected to the home router. RE: pypilot on openplotter 3 - SVHM - 2023-05-23 After installing OpenPlotter 3 (32 bit version), the Pypilot software was not included (grayed out in settings). I found this thread and followed Sean's directions. The software seemed to load ok and I hit refresh in settings then ran it again in the settings because it showed up there after the first run. I became confused with all the different discussion points in this thread and then followed Ironman's outline attached as a pdf above. I came to the point where it says I need to add serial port. At this point, I can't go further. OP3 looks different now from when Ironman created outline. It shows the serial port having been added but the program keeps telling me it needs to be added. Then, I noticed that the screens for the weather sensor and Pypilot are blank. The autopilot also shows as not connected in the web browser. I still have backlights and its all connected. I earlier had a Standby indication in Pypilot and it the weather computer was indicating temperature. I believe Pypilot was working because I was getting a heading indication and I was able to change the offset (on interface but not pypilot screen. I am very confused now as to what I should do. My display is connected to the OP computer and I have no idea how I would issue any troubleshooting commands to talk to tinypilot (I have a TinyPilot from last year with a zero w). When I press the buttons on the remote, an LED on TinyPilot comes on momentarily, so it seems to be receiving but nothing happens. Another thing I find odd is that Sailoog states above that the Pypilot had been added to OP3 but I downloaded it the other day and Pypilot was still grayed out. Its been almost a year since OP3 was out and this thread started. I am planning a crossing in a few days and my system is down. I have been planning to provide performance after the crossing is complete. I very much want the system to work because I designed my own windvane self-steering and Pypilot is an integral part of that design. Any help to get this going is appreciated. RE: pypilot on openplotter 3 - seandepagnier - 2023-05-23 Check if the serial port is setup correctly: ls - l /dev/serial0 If this points to /dev/ttyAMA0 it should work. In the newer openplotter I believe you can do this from the serial configuration. Next, ensure the pypilot_hat service is running. You must enable SPI in raspi-config for this to work, but normally the lcd should be autodetected. You should be able to enable it from the interface from running openplotter-pypilot, or by sudo service pypilot_hat start sudo service pypilot_hat enable RE: pypilot on openplotter 3 - SVHM - 2023-05-23 (2023-05-23, 04:56 AM)seandepagnier Wrote: Check if the serial port is setup correctly: Here are results from 1st pi@openplotter:~ $ ls -l /dev/serial0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 May 21 07:23 /dev/serial0 -> ttyAMA0 pi@openplotter:~ $ openplotter-pypilot active active active Settings file not found.

I don't understand why you see it greyed out in openplotter-settings. openplotter v3 only works in Raspberry OS 11 bullseye. Are you installing openplotter v3 in Raspberry OS 10 buster (openplotter v2)?

I went to the OP3 download section and loaded the 32 bit version of what was there. I have version 3.4.4 right now. Is it possible that an earlier Pypilot setup accidentally was put in the latest OP3 package? RE: pypilot on openplotter 3 - Sailoog - 2023-05-23 but where did you installed openplotter-settings 3.4.4? Debian version? What happens when you click "Get candidates" in openplotter-settings? RE: pypilot on openplotter 3 - SVHM - 2023-05-23 I just went to the openplotter page and downloaded what was there. I may have clicked a link from the whrkbook example but it was definitely the OP website. When I lick refresh in settings, Pypilot is pink and says open and apply. I can't seem to do anything to apply and it continues to stay pink. I just noticed I am at version 3.2.9 now after updating. |
