After updating the code, the tackong finction now works flawlessly in all modes (wind, true wind, compass). One small detail that could be improved is the (lack of) intuitive change of the heading direction relative to the wind. Currently, I nearly always miss the direction when i try to change my heading the intended direction (heading setpoint changes in the opposite direction og the intended...). Could be only me...
Hi kniven, I am in the middle of installing a B&G WS310 wind sensor, using latest version of OpenCPN and OpenPlotter on an RP5 with the MacArthur hat, so basically an all-new system, both hardware and software. I see incoming traffic on the status led on the mac hat, but cannot get the wind data to display on a dashboard. So far, I have AIS working, and the autopilot (PyPilot) seems to be working too, though I haven't actually done a sea trial of that. As I am new to the open source navigation world, I suspect there is something I have yet to do to configure the connection between the nmea0183 port and OpenCPN, but after spending considerable time in Signal K configuration, and in the "Connections" menus on OpenCPN, I am hoping someone on the forum can help me sort this out... Any thoughts would be most welcome!
