I'm trying to emulate wind mode in the lab by feeding dummy NMEA MWV messages into tinypilot:
while [ 1==1 ]; do echo '$WIMWV,117,R,7.1,N,A*3C' | netcat -N -C 192.168.178.38 20220; sleep 0.1; done
Something works: I can see wind appear in the plugin dropdown box, but it is blinking: one moment it shows both compass and wind, the other moment it only shows compass. Also, the tack direction is flicking irregularly between port and starboard. In the http interface of tinypilot, when I choose wind, it flicks back to compass. I've tried different frequencies.
I'd like to get as much grip on the exact working of the wind mode in the lab, before running it on the boat. Why would pypilot not recognize the steady stream of wind messages?
Thx!
