What about the following scenario?
I want to keep sending from /dev/ttyUSB0 to Kplex as always AND I want to send NMEA0183 out with Signal K plugin "Convert Signal K to NMEA0183", both on the same serial device namely my Miniplex3 multiplexer. But how?
My use case is a simulated depth (using Signal K delta simulator), which is already showing up fine in OpenCPN.
I want to get the depth sentences on the Seatalk network (Miniplex 3 supports bidirectional Seatalk-NMEA0183 conversion). You guessed it, no depth sentences on the Seatalk network for now, more below.
Once that works, It would allow me to bypass the ST60 depth unit which I suspect its microcontroller having failed, though I could keep using the display, it still works fine. I could replace the faulty processing unit with an Actisense DST-2 sending depth readings over NMEA0183 into SignalK and hopefully back to the cockpit, to both steer stands.
