Hi,
I have had OpenCPN and Pypilot working very successfully in the past - with OpenCPN on both Linux and Windows. I have now gone back to Linux (Ubuntu 20.04?) and can see my Pypilot using a browser on 192.168.14.1. I can receive wind speed and direction in OpenCPN from the Pypilot.
The part that escapes me at present is establishing a Signal K link between the two to get the Pypilot to work from OpenCPN. The Pypilot plug-in cannot auto-detect a Signal K server and despite setting one up in the OpenCPN communications panel it doesn't help. I assume this is the reason the plug-in can't connect with the Pypilot. I can't recall doing anything tricky in the past - but now I'm struggling, but still with a conviction there's a simple fix I'm missing!
I believe I'm up to date with OpenCPN on my Linux box but may be behind the times with the Pypilot.
Cheers
Ted
