I am testing the GPSD connexion, (this daemon uses Signal K to connect to OpenCPN.)
The main advantages I found in this approach are :I would like to use also xgps, and its skyview feature, but I can't as there is this error :
- The GPS status in the dashboard together with the NMEA debug windows which are not available in case of a direct Signal K connection...
- The use of gpsd-clients (cgps, gpsmon) to evaluate the quality of my receivers.
"TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'." which seems linked to an absent Python3 dependency ... AS I have no skill in the matter, I would appreciate any help, guidance or solution !
YYYYYYYYEEEEESS !!!!!!!
Help yourself, and the Sky will help you !
Eventually, I could identify the python missing dependency : python-gi-cairo,
(this seems to be one of many Raspberry Pi OS distribution's holes).
I just passed the command :
- sudo apt install python-gi-cairo
- xgps
a great tool when you are trouble hunting GPS signal receiving !
