Motor spins at startup and pypilot plugin not working properly
#6
bravo massilia,
You did not waste your time and it seems that you have found the reason for the problem: I had not thought of that, because, on my assembly, I did not use a rudder sensor, and it is probably for that I have not encountered this malfunction.
I think that in your configuration where pypilot is connected directly to pypilot without going through opencpn it seems normal that the adjustment is made as soon as the 2 services (pypilot and signalK) are active, ie at the start of the pi. In my configuration, nothing happens before I have started Opencpn (which I did not put in automatic start).
But your experience is very useful to me because I will try to put a rudder sensor and your disasters will simplify my task!
For the gains in opencpn, I would look for a bug in the way Buster treats the plugin, because it works without problems on Openplotter 1.2, with the same version of the plugin !!
So wait for returns or software updates!
For my part, I regretted the unavailability of the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) plugin on Opencpn 5 Buster version and I found a roundabout way to install it by downloading 'libvdr.so' from Cruiserforum and placing it in / usr / lib / opencpn /; I put it as an attachment because I can no longer find the direct link, if that interests you!
