I am trying to make simple racing display showing SOG, heading etc.
I can't see any instruments and I don't think my signalK Instrument panel is connecting. I click on button to connect (far right upper corner) and then click on: Connect to ws//localhost:80 I have setup an Input: SignalK TCP localhost 10110 connection in Signal K
I have installed the Instrument Panel under SignalK from Github.
Running 2.0.11-beta Openplotter settings, RPi3+, Globalsat ND-105c
Thanks in advance! Presume I know no networking or coding terms but I can google of course and plod through it
Edit: typing Openplotter-network in a terminal gives me: bash o--n--: command not found
At first make a connection to the internet to get the latest updates. Go to the icon Raspberry (left upper corner) then go to OpenPlotter settings. Add sources and then update candidates.
Restart your OpenPlotter RPI and you have the latest updates.
Then you have to add your GPS module. Go the SignalK icon, login with user pi and password raspberry. Go to connections and click on add. Choose nmea183 input, set enabeld to on. Give gps a name. Say gpsmouse or other name. Then set the serial port. There allready an indication what port is available, then the baudrate (4800). Apply. Then after restart (left upper corner) you must see the nummers changing. Now the GPS works in SignalK. If you don't see this try another port.
In the latest updates you see in the OpenPlotter section OpenPlotter Dasboard. Click on one of these and then the view icon. Now you see the working of your GPS.
With a right mouseclick you can place icons on your Desktop.
