Here's how I wired the connection between the B&G interface and the multiplexer:
I followed the instruction listed here:
Other examples — OpenPlotter 2 documentation
My multiplexer is connected to the Rpi with a usb cable.
It's odd that there isn't a comprehensive guide for connecting to Openplotter with a multiplexer. Perhaps I just haven't found it, that or the new openplotter suite of apps are meant to be foolproof and don't require detailed instructions. The link I posted above has a 1/2 dozen steps then immediately move on to discussing outputting data to an autopilot.
The version of Openplotter I downloaded includes RPi OS and I'm not even sure where I would enter commands (sudo)...
Unfortunately, there are not enough users writing up their experiences in in the documentation and it isn’t the developers priority at the moment. If you get it working, perhaps you can publish what model you are using and how you set it up.
The fact you have gps working and not the B&G stuff means one connection is working and, I think, points to the issue being with the the B&G connection. One wire seems funny I think there should be a ground reference TX+ and TX- connected to the multiplexers RX channel. If it doesn’t work, try reversing the polarity
