I purchased a USB BU-353 because of favorable reviews.Openplotter forwards nmea data via tcp so you shouldn't configure Opencpn to look at the serial port, for V0.8 it's port 10110 and V0.9 port 10109, (might be wrong, from memory but check in the access point tab)
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!
