Interesting, I am using a Pi 5 and OpenPlotter 4 and it won't connect to my Vesper WatchMate XB-8000 over WiFi. Its not the settings as these are definitely correct. Last week a Pi4 and Openplotter 3 connected perfectly, an iPad with Navionics connects with no issues, same with an iPhone. It's definitely something particular to the Pi 5 and open plotter 4. It might be the Pi5 and its WiFi networking. I am very familiar with WiFi settings and network configuration, in fact I invented a system of high availability networking at DEC which was instrumental in making the internet reliable.
The fact that a Pi 4 running open plotter 3 worked and connected without any issues using exactly the same settings as the PI 5 refused to connect with makes me think this is an issue specific to the PI 5 and Open plotter 4. The Pi 5 is SOOOOO fast I really don't want to have to go back to the Pi 4. Anyone got any thoughts.
Thanks.
Incidentally, If you are trying to connect a Watchman to signal K the first thing is to connect the PI's wifi to the Vesper WatchMate XB-8000 the IP address if its not been changed is 192.168.15.1 and the SSID is VesperXB + your serial number if its not been changed. The default password is "WatchMate". Once your have connected to the Vesper WatchMate XB-8000 then you can configure the SignalK connection.
