You don't need to use signalk at all to use the gps of the moitessier hat. There are several ways of routing the data.
Okay fixed the imu problem, turns out I had the I2C senors installed incorrectly. I configured the BME at address 68 instead of the other one in the pull down... sure wish there was a clear how to on this stuff. Would save everyone a lot of time and effort...
Anyhow, the new build #2 on my RP13B with the IMU i purchased from you (Sean) and a GlobalSat USB GPS puck is up and running, I can switch the mode in the pyplilot plugin from GPS to Compass and back and I do not lose connection.
Time to try it on the water....
The other build #1 with the Moitessier Hat still will not allow me to switch between compass mode and GPS mode, I have disabled GNSS in the Moitessier hat settings panel and installed and configured the GPS packages for the USB GPS puck. I get GPS data in openCPN but pypilot disconnects when ever I switch from compass mode to gps mode in the pypilot plugin.
any ideas on how to fix build #1 would be great, I am not sure how to get the logs you are asking for. it is connected via teamviewer to my lan so if you want to take a look?
