Today done some tests on board the boat with a Navico AIS transponder and can confirm that it works very well. I'am using an Faytech Touchscreen. The Egalax driver for the touchscreen set was easy to be installed in OpenPlotter 2.0
Then I tried my Canable canbus boardje. After some fiddling with the settings in SignalK this also works. Now I have nmea2000 output to Nmea183 be used in OpenCPN.
Not used the can settings in the OpenPlotter menu.
To get this working, you have to initiate the Canable board first in de terminal. Then switch on the transponder to activate the NMEA2000 output. Start the SignalK server. And then you get this. See image with AIS object and GPS. (sorry image much too large.) Now screenprint added.
