Drive Waypoints using OpenCPN and PyPilot?
#1
Hi all,

For me, the documentation is down. Can anyone connect and read the documentation?
https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/doku.php

I am trying to understand how I can have PyPilot drive a defined path based on GPS coordinates. I coulnd't find any documentation on the matter and the one thread I found does not contain the solution.

I run OpenPlotter 1.2.0 on a Pi3B, motor and GPS are connected over serial and work, my 9 dof IMU is connected via I2C and works.
I have GPS in OpenCPN, I can control my PyPilot, started using the button in OpenCPN and have the boat keep a course.

I have defined a path using the route tool and would like to hit play. But where? How do I tell PyPilot that it should just a path rather than just hold a course?

Assuming this is a fresh installation, what are the steps that need to be performed to achieve this?

Cheers,
Timo

According to this post (http://forum.openmarine.net/showthread.php?tid=1661), all I need to do (I use OpenPlotter to connect PyPilot to: 10.10.10.1 at port 20200 instead of 192.168.14.1 at port 20200) is create a route and activate it.
I will try that.
