Would OpenPlotter work on Ubuntu?

does pypilot work on the x86 ver or raspbian? or is it the i2c gpio things that make it incompatible.

ah, ok, the experimental was BMX055 but AFAIK the mentioned BNO055 RaspberryPi/Pi2 clock-stretching issues have not been solved for RPi 3 or 4 either.

there are GPIO python packages as dependencies that only exists for Raspberry OS. Sean could have better info.

I have just installed openplotter-settings in ubuntu focal 64 and it works ok, no errors about GDM3 or anything.
There is only a nonm critical issue, loaded sources are for bionic and not for focal, it works but the correct way should be loading focal sources. This will be fixed in next openplotter-settings update and then we will be ready for the next Debian version too when released.

Hi. Sailoog,


OpenPlotter add-ons works very well on my Focal version for AMD64. But with the Focal version for the RPI I get the mentioned errors.

Now trying the beta Groovy Gorilla on my AMD64. This works very well with kernel 5.8. OpenCPN is also in de repository. However it is onlty version 5.

Now installed version 5.2 by changing the settings in the server addresses to Focal instead of Groovy.

Works also and is very fast. Almost too fast for screen movement. The plugins can also installed, including the Oesenc plugin.

Not yet tried the Openplotter add-ons.

But not yet working with an Oesenc card and the dongle.

Regards,

Bram

At first the plugins work with OpenCPN 5.2 also the Oesenc plugin. But still not working.

Then I revert to an older problem and installed libusb-0.1-4 and libusb -1.0.-0

Now I have my Oesenc charts on Groovy Gorilla working in combination with the Oesenc dongle.

It is always the problem with the missing libusb. to get the dongle working.

Now tried the Groovy Gorilla on the Raspberry Pi4. This also works with OpenCPN version 2.5. Not yet ried the Oesenc charts with the dongle.

The Ubuntu Groovy Gorilla 64 bits also works with the Oesenc dongle on the RPI 4.Next will be adding the OpenPlotter add-ons.

Important is the adding of the libusb support. Otherwise it does not work. And you need the right Oesenc plugin.

Tried to install the OpenPlotter add-ons on the Groovy Gorilla. However that does not works.

The OpenPlotter settings item did not start. So it is impossible to install the other "goodies".

OpenCPN and Oesenc is working very well and fast. With a nice interface. Kernel version is 4.8.

For your information of what is different in Groovy Gorilla on the RPI4 .

I can send a copy of the error message when starting openplotter-settings from the terminal.
