Getting pressure/temp data to opencpn dashboard
#1
I have recently installed a Berry IMU with integrated temperature / pressure data available.  I am receiving all the information ok in Signal K (can see all the output in the data browser) but for the life of me cannot seem to get the data displayed in OpenCpn's integrated dashboard (Barometric pressure and temperature both are null).  My guess is that the OpenCpn dashboard in not interpreting the environment.outside.pressure field as barometric pressure (same for temp).  Either that of Singal K is not passing this on via TCP (although I doubt that). Any clues?  TIA

Opencpn v5 doesn't recognize signalk data, try enabling the signalk-nmea app and select the xdr baro & temp options >

Opencpn v5.2 will read signalk which should be available through the normal install routes quite soon.
