Lost Alias - Rae Simpson - 2023-02-09
I added devices via signal K and they seem to work OK.
BUT - I'm not getting benefit of aliases and OpenPlotter complains on start up.......
Checking serial connections alias...
↳There are serial connections with no alias assigned:
Signal K -> connection ID: GPSPuck | device: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-u-blox_AG_-_www.u-blox.com_u-blox_7_- _GPS_GNSS_Receiver-if00
Signal K -> connection ID: VHF | device: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_AH06ROZO-if00-port0
Serial displays the 2 connections in red but not under devices.
Looking for advise on how to correct this.
Cheers...
Rae
Install is on a 64 bit Raspberry Pi 4, with the latest updates.

To get rid of those messages, you can set aliases in the openplotter-serial app before setting up the Signal k connections, it does not hurt and gives extra security. Or you can just uninstall openplotter-serial app if you do not use it.

Is there a process/procedure for adding serial alias after installing connections via Signal-K?
RE: Lost Alias - Sailoog - 2023-02-16
just create the alias in openplotter-serial and go to signal k administrator and replace the current devices by the new alias.
RE: Lost Alias - Rae Simpson - 2023-02-16
There is no ability to expose or add the devices in openplotter-serial. At least from the UI.
Is there another way?

If Signal k detects your serial devices but openplotter-serial does not, that means that somehow you have lost permission to read serial devices for non admin users.
To confirm this open a terminal and type:
lsusb
then type this and compare results:
sudo lsusb
any difference?

Hello!
Same problem here: Serial GNSS hat doesn´t show up as device but the connection is there (GPSD) and it works. No alias though and can´t find any way to create one.
Activated the connection with the GNSS following instrtuctions on https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/MAX-M8Q_GNSS_HAT:
#Open gpsd file
sudo nano /etc/default/gpsd
#Change the below codes of file and save
USBAUTO="false"
DEVICES="/dev/ttyS0"
GPSD_OPTIONS="/dev/ttyUSB0"
