Tiny pilot GPS
#1
Here is my setup: Tiny Pilot on a Pi Zero. Open CPN installed on a Pi 3B+ with a GPS adapter. The GPS is working fine in Open CPN But I can’t figure out how to get the Tiny Pilot to receive the GPS data from    Open Cpn. The autopilot works great in compass mode Just can’t get it to work in GPS mode. Any direction would be appreciated.
Thx

Do you have port 20220 configured in OpenCPN connections tab? If so....

In the OpenCPN pypilot plugin window, just select the drop down menu where it currently says Compass, change it to GPS.

If it goes from a connected state, to a disconnected state, then after about 15 seconds switches back to compass and reconnects...
....then welcome to the club....

You should check the log file when it does this:

ssh tc@192.168.14.1
password: pypilot
tail /var/log/pypilot/current

I am nearly ready to release a beta image, the new pypilot has a huge amount of changes.
