SDR AIS available in OpenPlotter 2
#31
Then try to calibrate normally using openplotter. If it works it will mean that your device was not in the list of supported devices: /etc/udev/rules.d/rtl-sdr.rules

Hi @Sailoog, can You tell me if I make my GPS USB Dongle work ( I make connection in Opencpn = TCP, localhost, 10110 and in Serial App = NMEA0183 > SignalK) and now I want to add my DVB-T SDR USB Dongle, do I have to add some other connection in Opencpn? Or that one I made will work for both devices?

It should work.

You should have just one connection in OpenCPN: localhost TCP 10110, because this is the connection to get NMEA 0183 data from Signal K.

Then you should send all NMEA 0183 data to Signal K so using the serial app for the gps and the sdr app for the sdr device is the correct way.

Hello Saillog

eventually you could add an Checkbox to the SDR-RTL App (daemon) to log the Stations on the Console?

default: /usr/bin/rtl_ais -d 0 -p 0 -P 10110
logging: /usr/bin/rtl_ais -d 0 -p 0 -P 10110 -n

and if you are working here, the App won´t remember the GSM & PPM Numbers, like your old 1.2 V. did.

Great Work, stay well.

Hi, when I install openplotter in my ubuntu laptop I see only GPS (/dev/ttyACM1) in Serial app. I open SDR VHF app, make calibration and after all process openplotter add automatic connection to my signalK server. But I don't know it is working because in pleace where I live there's no water and ships. Can I check somehow it is working?

Hello Przemek

This is normal, only GPS is an serial Port.
The SDR-RTL Communication goes per Network with some help on translating the internal Audiosignal 
to NMEA ASCII Strings. The normal RTL-SDR Sticks have no Serial Port.

But there are other AIS-Receiver available, who do this, they have an Serial Port with the AIS Data.

PS: I also use these Sticks from NOOELEC

Hello Przemek

for the GPS, you use also an ublox device like me.
I had some issures with mine today, look here at the end for an solution:

Hello, I try with GPSD but don't work on laptop. When I check yesterday it work with signalk server but  today it stop working. I have to set everuyhing once again. Soon I will recive my LCD touch screen for Raspberry and I will check it on my balcony where I can catch gps signal. I will try Your solution then. Thanks.

YEAH, never change an running System!

(Myself broke lots of Openplotters by updating to the latest BETA Versions & trying to keep them working again)

But it improves the Stability.

Good luck when the System is on Bord and happy Journeys with your Dad.
