Output NMEA to a VHF
#1
Initial situation : I have an USB GPS receiver connected to openCPC via this openCPN connection :
Network, Input, Signal K, localhost, 3000, 1. And it works OK !
I need to send the position to the VHF NMEA RS232 input. What I did :
  • I plugged an RS232 USB COM port in my USB2.0 HUB ;
  • in SERIAL, I  gave an alias (vhfrs232) to the detected USB port and established a 4800 Baud connection to Signal K ;
  • In Signal K, I can see the connection,  without any activity (no 'pumping')
  • In openCPN i created a connection :
    Network, UDP, 0.0.0.0, 10118, opencpnOUT, Transmit GLL.
  • In SK, I created a connection opencpnOUT
    UDP, 10118, nmea1data (?), Ignored GLL.
  • finally I edited the device connection :
    vhfrs232, Serial, , 4800, Output Events nmea0183out (?), Ignored GLL
I am not sure of what I marked (?), so I need some confirmation. I attach screenshot of my inputs :
