Dear All, first happy new year to all of you
I met 2 issues using signalK with my 2 GPS:
The first issue appears with an old GPS MLR Valsat connected to RPI in USB via a RS422 to USB converter.
The device detection, alias declaration , connection definition goes well in serial and when added in signalK
In a terminal with the command cat /dev/ttyOP_valsat I see all nmea183 messages coming from the GPS. But in OpenCPN I do not see those messages in the dedicated window and OpenCPN has not the boat position and the satellite's bars. Only one connection is declared in OpenCPN: Network/enter/signalK/localhost/3000
The second issue appears with a bluetooth GPS Pretec. After pairing of this equipment, I connect it using the following command: sudo rfcomm connect 0 @mac-BT-GPS 1. In serial I see nothing in the device part and in the connection part I see this new connection but I cannot add it in signalK. this is my problem. If I declared this connection in OpenCPN, the boat position is correctly displayed.
Thanks a lot if somebody can help to solve this.
