Hi, here an owner of an MCS board version 1.2 with openplotter on it.
Looking for some help to get NMEA0183 in and out working
Until now I was feeding the configuration from a sperate NMEA multiplexer. This multiplexer was via USB connected. Want to remove the multiplexer and connect directly tot the MCS board.
So I first tried to get NMEA0183 send out to the connected Autopilot. OpenCPN sends out the RMB message. I see this in the Signal K server.
Tried to forwarded this to the serial ttysc2. but nothing is send out physical on the NMEA0183 interface.
So i thought try to receive NMEA0183 messages. So I took my AIS transponder (CSB200) from the multiplexer and connected this one via nmea to ttysc5.
But i didn't receive anything. No LED blinking on the MCS board. I thought they were introduced with MCS board version 1.5.
Tried cat /dev/ttysc5 nothing, tried via de MCS app support serial check, doesn't see only *B.
so what 'm i doing wrong ?
Suggestions on further troubleshooting also welcome !
Thx G.
