Lifting this good ol' thread. I am about to start digging into Autopilot integration. I have a Raymarine St1000 (yeah - don't even get me started, but I am getting broke so no new - yet...) and I want to use it with Openplotter and OpenCpn, and as I understand it, the logical interface for it is Pypilot. I also want the autopilot to be able to receive N2K commands such as waypoints from my B&G Vulcan. This is accomplished through protokoll conversion in SignalK as I understand it. However, I am uncertain how the whole shebang ties in together and I need some help. I (will) have an MPU9250 attached to my RPI, so that will be in place.
Do I simply attach the ST1000 to my Rpi with a serial to USB RS232 connector, enable Signal K conversion to NMEA0183 and then what?
Can I use a simple USB to TTL serial cable like this: https://www.electrokit.com/en/product/ca...3-3v-male/
Also - can I use the Raymarine Autopilot app in Signal K or is that for NMEA2000 only?
I've really TRIED to search the forum for answers, but I am striking out here, so please help. In the long run I would like to be able to create events controlling my autopilot - preferably with as little extra hardware as possible.
