Hi Seandepagnier,
"This way works" What are you actually refering to?
1. If PyPilot is configured compass only, signalK messages are indeed forwarded and read by OpenCPN, but there is no heading predictor shown on the map in OpenCPN. The OpenCPN manual clearly states that "if the NMEA message HDT is present a heading predictor is shown. If HDT is not present and WMV plugin is enabled the HDT is calculated from HDM (if available)" However The NMEA messages aren't present when PyPilot is "compass only". SignalK's HDT & HDM are shown in a dashboard but there is no heading predictor.
2. If Pypilot is set to autopilot i get the heading predictor and the NMEA messages but no signalK delta's for pitch, roll and heading.
Which of both method's is preferred? And How can I forward NMEA0183 messages from SignalK delta's?
Kind regards,
Koen.
