I have hit a brick wall and I am hoping for help getting NEMA 2000 data into my Signal K server from my Actisense in NGT-1 USB unit. I have limited experience with both Linux and signal K, but I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. I've searched all over the forums and cannot find a way to solve this issue. My goal is to get all of the boat's data into signalK so I can stream it to my iPad via Wi-Fi and eventually monitor the boat remotely.
The NGT-1 is plugged in to a USB hub and the hub connected to the raspberry pi. The NGT-1 is recognized as a device and as a connection (colored blue), but I am not seeing any useful NMEA2000 data come through the signal K server. I am getting useful data out of my USB GPS and AIS set up, so that part is working.
A data dump from the system is below. My questions are:
Thanks for any help you can provide.

A data dump from the system is below. My questions are:
- Is there anything obviously out of whack from the data below?
- How can I log data that may be coming in via the USB port or through the serial connection to see if there are any obvious issues?
- What is the best way to troubleshoot this?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
