Hi,
I am kind of new, not very techie, and retired
About 3-4 years ago I purchased a Motessier II hat for my Rpi4 - long story short - it never worked and I decided to cut my losses this year and purchase a Daisy Hat AIS detector
My set up is just basic - at home right now, just a monitor, a key board, and a wired mouse, the Daisy hatt, a connection to an antennae that was recommended for AIS - out the window, and a USB GPS
So now I erased everything, installed the latest vs of Open CPN, updated all the drives, etc
Installed the FL charts ECN, got them to work, installed a USB GPS, and it shows in the OPEN CPN
Signal K shows Daisy Hat NMEA0183 Enabled = Yes and Dataloging = No
However - the Daisy Hatt looks like is working with the green flashing lights, but nowhere in the screen is anything I can see.
When I run "Check System" in Open Plotter, I get an error
Checking serial connections alias...
there are serial connections with no alias assigned:
OpenCPN-> connection ID:2|device:/dev/gps0
Checking OpenCPN...|not running|CompatOS Checked|autostart disabled
Checking Signal K server...|running
Checking serial connection conflicts...|no conflicts
Checking network connection conflicts...|no conflicts
Checking GPIO conflicts...|no conflicts
Checking Power off management...|disabled
Checking Shutdown management...|service not running
Checking rescue mode...|disabled
Checking WiFi password...|done
Checking touchscreen optimization...|disabled
Checking debugging mode...|disabled
STARTUP FINISHED
So I m stump, not sure what to do. I rebooted the RPI and it shows what I typed above, but when I run OPEN CPN - tells me:
Safe restart
The last opencpn run seems to have failed. Do you want to run in safe mode without plugins and other possibly problematic features?
Whether I choose No or Yes - it looks the same - the chart looks loaded, the GPS shows the position of the "boat"
