TCP port 20220

[richarddaneel]

Hi Guys
Sorry for the basic nature of my problem but would appreciate any help. I have got a fresh install of OpenCPN on RPi4 and I am trying to get the Pypilot plugin to work. The problem is that if I set the GPS data to network TCP on port 20220 they are all in red (picture) and therefore invalid and pypilot does not recognize them. I know I am missing something basic but have tried all variations, many thanks
Richard

Hi Rastam4n
Not sure why but I got an email saying you replied but can not seem to find your answer. Yes, I clicked both the in and Out buttons. When I disable the out option all nmea strings are green and perfect and as soon as I activate the out option they appear but in red, any ideas?
Thanks Richard

When you say a fresh install of OpenCPN, do you mean Openplotter?

should the protocol be UDP instead of TCP?

[seandepagnier]

the protocol should be tcp

most likely pypilot isn't actually running

try in a terminal:

telnet localhost 20220

If you are refused, then so is opencpn
