Connect OpenCPN to pypilot

[xfactor99]

I need help to get the Tiny Pilot connected to the Openplotter.
 
Have the Tiny Pilot working in stand alone. Can get to the Tinypilot via Web (198.162.14.1). Processor Raspberry PI3b
The Open Plotter has two WLans one for the Headless (VMC) and one for the Web. Can get to Pypilot (192.168.14.1) Processor  Raspberry PI 4
 
I know, that I have to configure the rest (Pyilot settings , Signal K etc.). My Gps is on a Usb port. Just don’t Know how to do it. Some hints would be welcome (bang my head....)
Thanks
Frank

To start the easy thing is to use one of the WLAN´s of OP to connect to the Tinypilot.
Get the IP of the WLAN you have connected. (shoud be 192.168.14.1)
Open OpenCPN in OP and set the Pypilot-plugin to that IP.
Mybe later you want the Tinypilot set as an Client and connect it to the OP-Accesspoint I think it is your VMC

Thanks!

Got the tiny plotter going!
But I find it hard to change it to a client. Once I've changed it to client (using web interface) its lost. Cant fint it, it won't connect, can't ping it...
Any clue?

Hi Ola,

you will not see the Tinypilot as client. You might find the IP (in Openplotter somting like 10.10.10.xxx ) of the Tinypilot at your Accesspoint or Router were the Tinypilot is connected to. In Openplotter there is a file with "leases" somwere but I don´t now were. I will try to find it tomorrow when I´m at the boat.
Of course you only find it if you have set the correct SSID and Pasword of your AP/Router into the Tinypilot.
Ther is normaly an alias named "box" so you can try on OpenCpn (in the same AP) or Openplotter to connect the Pypilotplugin to "box" or in a Terminal to "SSH tc@box"
An pssibility is also to see the Tinypilot WIFI settings and to read/edit on an other linux enviroment the file in the folder /home/tc/.pypilot/networking.txt
Hope this helps
Save sailing
