The software seemed to load ok and I hit refresh in settings then ran it again in the settings because it showed up there after the first run. I became confused with all the different discussion points in this thread and then followed Ironman's outline attached as a pdf above. I came to the point where it says I need to add serial port. At this point, I can't go further. OP3 looks different now from when Ironman created outline. It shows the serial port having been added but the program keeps telling me it needs to be added. Then, I noticed that the screens for the weather sensor and Pypilot are blank. The autopilot also shows as not connected in the web browser. I still have backlights and its all connected. I earlier had a Standby indication in Pypilot and it the weather computer was indicating temperature. I believe Pypilot was working because I was getting a heading indication and I was able to change the offset (on interface but not pypilot screen.
I am very confused now as to what I should do. My display is connected to the OP computer and I have no idea how I would issue any troubleshooting commands to talk to tinypilot (I have a TinyPilot from last year with a zero w). When I press the buttons on the remote, an LED on TinyPilot comes on momentarily, so it seems to be receiving but nothing happens.
Another thing I find odd is that Sailoog states above that the Pypilot had been added to OP3 but I downloaded it the other day and Pypilot was still grayed out. Its been almost a year since OP3 was out and this thread started.
I am planning a crossing in a few days and my system is down. I have been planning to provide performance after the crossing is complete. I very much want the system to work because I designed my own windvane self-steering and Pypilot is an integral part of that design. Any help to get this going is appreciated.
openplotter-pypilot for openplotter v3 has been available for a long time. I don't understand why you see it greyed out in openplotter-settings.
openplotter v3 only works in Raspberry OS 11 bullseye. Are you installing openplotter v3 in Raspberry OS 10 buster (openplotter v2)?
