- It is not possible to enable Seatalk1 by default in SK without using the GPIO because Seatalk devices are not compatible with normal serial devices (short explanation) and you always need a piece of hardware to translate.
- Do not try to install GPIO app for openplotter 2 in openplotter 3, it will never work.
Being said this, you are right Seatalk1 by GPIO is broken in Signal K. I pushed a fix for python3 to SK but they asked for a backwards fix (also for python2) but I have not time for that right now: https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-server/pull/1455
I will do it for sure when working on GPIO app for OpenPlotter 3.
hopefully the puzzle is solved
Thanks for the quick reply Sailoog!
I did read the todo list, but I had to confirm that I still need the GPIO app. My assumption looking at source code was that V3.x software enables GPIO4 as a default.
I think I have the right hardware, I have seatalk1 data connected via an optocoupler to GPIO4 as I said. Rest of the solution would be software, no?
>>I pushed a fix for python3 see https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-server/pull/1455
Can I install this on my system as it is now? Or would I still need the new GPIO then?
>>I will do it for sure when working on GPIO app for OpenPlotter 3.
I see no date in the roadmap. When do you think this will happen?
Last question: To which release/image should I downgrade to make Seatalk1 work? Would you advise downgrade or wait?
Thanks!
