What a great project!!!! I have been using openplotter / opencpn all summer and I like it so much, I bought a nice 12" monitor and installed the PI3 on the back of the screen. I even removed my old SH plotter and solely use the PI3 with the wifi enable, using my android tablet with another opencpn or the Signal K.
Currently I'm using a USB GPS but I'm in the process to connect it to a Furuno SC50 Gyro GPS.
On the top of my wishlist is to have the system connect directly to the Raymarine Seatalk. I have this old SC50 windsystem that I will "never" get rid off. The display is the old-school analog type and no digital repeater beats that analog display. It would be so nice to connect directly to the OP with this. I know there are (expensive) converters but every converter is a source of failure....
Thank to all people involved in this project!
Good job.
