Hi All,
I'm new to this forum, my name is Bas, I have a sailboat in the Netherlands and have been using OpenCPN for a couple of years.
Currently trying to upgrade to Pi4 and adding some sensors.
I have Openplotter installed (the default stable release from the website) on a Pi4.
I want to read a BMP sensor using the Signal K server but I can't get it to work:
Many thanks, Bas

Currently trying to upgrade to Pi4 and adding some sensors.
I have Openplotter installed (the default stable release from the website) on a Pi4.
I want to read a BMP sensor using the Signal K server but I can't get it to work:
- i2c is enabled in pi settings
- i2c module from Openplotter is installed
- I have an IMU sensor that I got to work with Pypilot, it shows up in Signal K and I can plot the compass reading in the Tommy/KIP.
- I have an Adafruit demo program to readout the sensor using Python which works, which tells me the sensor is ok and the wiring is correct.
- When I add the sensor in i2c the address shows up, I then add it and give a label name for temperature (which is somehow missing but I've read this is normal).
- I then enable the connection in Signal K.
- If I then open the signal K server I see the i2c in the connection part of the dashboad but there is no activity.
- Also the labels do not show up in the data browser.
Many thanks, Bas
