To inform you about the progress in developing OpenPlotter running in Pi Ubuntu Mate 15.10 for Rspberry:
A few months ago I was running Ubuntu Mate 14 with openplotter. Then I was just waiting for the updates from Opencpn and plugins and also for the new openplotter version 6 to start working in the new Ubuntu 15.10. Now, and just after a few days working from //github.com/sailoog/openplotter/wiki, this are my first problems and conclusions:
- My pi2 runs nicely with Ubuntu 15.10 (better than old Ubuntu version). Able tu work on the openplotter, listening music via bluetooth speakers, openoffice, Firefox, etc. Idea is run a few more programs from Navigatrix...
- Lunching openplotter 5 was without problems but version 6, after following github, I was unable to run. I was forced to deselect this line from "check_sensors.py" and set the line with # ....: # from w1thermsensor import W1ThermSensor ...Also to install some xtras dependencies.
if # this line I can run version 6.
- When running openplotter (version 6 or 5), I am forced to manually reset any tic on I2C sensors ( as heading, Heel, press or temp tics ) to get openplotter start working with sensors and see those parametres in "Inspector" window. may be something wrong on the startup.py file?
- Then opencpn is working fine and I can see boat turning and Mag HDG on the Dashboard (and gps info), but unable to see Barometric pressure or Air Temp...
To say i am running with DOF10 sensor...
So, all looks like working, but with those problems as I am forced to reset something in i2c sensors inside openplotter 6.
Any help?
Next will be to test Ais and rest of sensors I am asking from Sailog...
many thanks
