GPS to VHF
#1
Hello All,

Please help a struggling noob! I have been using openplotter on my respi 3 for about a year with excellent results. GPS data is provided by a GPS Puck and this works prefect.


I also have a Navman 7100 VHF which requires a GPS feed for DSC. 

So I bought a bought a usb to serial rs422 to play around and send GPS data to the VHF

I have followed the guide at the link below but still cant get out put to the radio

https://openplotter.readthedocs.io/en/la...-converter

Really could do with step by step walk through if anyone has a similar set up or experienced issue like this before, am sure I have made a mistake in the setup some were.

Also wondering about the baud rate if the gps puck works at 38400 and the radio take 4800 will signal K output the gps at 4800 and is it ok if the baud rates on the devices are different.

sorry about the poor typing using my tiny bluetooth keyboard to type this up on the pi,  will try and post some screen shots of my settings later if that will help.  

Have also swapped the wires around on the rs422 from the radio in case that was an issue. 

Many Thanks for reading
