I have successfully installed OpenPlotter on my Rpi3b. Now I'm trying to hookup the GPS. I purchased a USB BU-353 because of favorable reviews.
From the manufacturers support page (RASPBERRY PI – GlobalSat BU-353S4 GPS Installation | Instant Support Site) I installed :apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps
Then entered the command:gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock
If I look at lsusb I can see the GPS
If i look at : sudo cat /dev/ttyUSB0 I can see the data stream.
If I look at : cgps -s I see the live position!
when I go to OpenCPN OPTIONS>CONNECTIONS I add a serial... dataport /dev/ttyUSB0 4800... however nothing shows up?
Any ideas would be most appreciated!!!
Thanks for any information!
