Rasberry Pi4, Openplotter, Signal K, etc.
I have been testing out the Adafruit INA260 sensor with Openplotter to show my house battery voltage. I cannot get the path to appear in the Signal K data browser. It shows as setup properly in the I2C sensors area with the correct ID (40) and path - electrical.batteries.1.voltage. I essentially set it up in a similar way as my BME280 sensor which works great. I thought maybe the sensor was faulty so I bought a second one and it still doesn't work. I don't know of an easy alternative way to see sensor data (outside of SignalK). It seems like a driver issue but I'm not technical enough to dive deep under the hood. If someone out there is technical and can dig into this, I'll send you a sensor for free.
