Moitessier Hat GPS data, how to send to Pypilot_py

[rastam4n]

Hi there
I have a new install of OP2 using the img with Moitessier Hat package.
I have installed the pypilot_py plugin as per the git instructions
It is working ok, I can set the AP to hold a heading and it does that. 
I cannot switch to GPS mode, when I do Pypilot plugin switches from a connected state to a disconnected state. Then in a few seconds reverts back to Compass mode.
I have setup the connections in OpenCPN and signalK as per the instructions in the signalK documentation
I have GPS data in OpenCPN, as it shows my my position and the GPS signal bar shows green bars.


When i try to switch to GPS mode in pypilot plugin signalk shows this data
