(OP2) IMU data from pypilot not being received by SK or OpenCPN

[Johnnysails]

pasted from another thread as per Sailoogs instructions

ops, shit. sorry, it is my fault.

CP is not the connection you have to create in SK. You have to create UDP localhost port 52000 to get IMU data in SK.

TCP localhost 20220 will be the connection for autopiot and it will be NMEA 0183 (not working yet).

sorry again, too much in my head...

I understand. Thank you for the clarification,

Unfortunately this is still not working.. Is there anything else I need to do? Here is what I added to SK connections tab. I am not getting any error but the connection is not listed on the dashboard and there is no data on my opencpn dashboard.

Has this been confirmed to work?

OK I know what happens here. You are expecting NMEA 0183 data and what you are getting is signal k data.

Pypilot has 2 modes, "only IMU" and "autopilot".
In IMU mode we send signal k data for heading, trim and heel by UDP 52000.
In autopilot mode we send trim and heel by UDP 52000 in signal k format and heading in NMEA 0183 format by TCP 20220.

This will be explained in docs of course.

Thank you Sailoog

So interesting thing, the pitch and roll is being shown in the opencpn pypilot plugin calibration window but the mag.heading is not. So the data is there, how can i get this data showing in my dashboard plugin?

Hi been playing with Signal K and you may be interested in my posts yesterday and this morning
