Problems with NMEA out to VHF radio in OP V2.
#12
Hi,
In order to be able to troubleshoot this at all I have stripped my setup down do minimal. All the nmea2000 devices are disconnected. All that is left is an old Garmin GPS 76 (handy because it has a built in nmea simulator) that delivers nmea0183 sentences to OpenPlotter via a Profilic Serial to USB converter. Output is sent to a Garmin GNX20 with only the nmea0183 port connected to OpenPlotter via another Profilic converter. I use the named nmea0183 gps in this test and have disconnected all other nmea2000 devices to make sure that the only data that reach the GNX20 comes from OP and are not leaked from the can bus one way or another
Settings are as follows:

GPS
Connected to ttyUSB0 
Alias: ttyOP_gps 
Connection: SignalK 
Baudrate: 4800. 
I can see sentences flowing in to Data Browser just as expected.

GNX20 display
Connected to ttyOP_ap 
Connection: SignalK 
Baudrate: 4800 
Output event: nmea0183,nmea0183out 
Sentence event: nmea1data. 
No data is shown neither on the GNX20 nor in Data Browser.


I know all the hardware is working because if I keep the same physical connections but route the signals directly to OCPN (both input and output) I see data flowing in and out in the diag window of OCPN. Data is also shown on the GNX20.
What am I doing wrong here? How can I make OP send data out on a USB port?

Running on RPI3 with OP2 Serial 2.1.0, SignalK 1.26.0, SignalK-to-nmea0183 1.6.1
