Good day
I have installed a multiplexer with 2 connections
1. GPS antenna on Connection 2
2. Nmea 0183 data from a variety of B&G instruments on Connection 1
I followed the latest directions in Openplotter, which had me bouncing back and forth between OP and Signal K. It seemed I had been successful but there are 2 problems:
1. The only data being received is from the GPS antenna (confirmed by looking at a dashboard and by viewing the sentences being received). None of the nmea data from my instruments is being received
2. The diagnostic screen threw the following message:
"Checking OpenCPN...[not running}autostart disabled
The default OpenCPN connection is missing and is not getting data from Signal K. Please create this connection in OpenCPN:
Network
Protocol: Signal K
Address: localhost
Dataport:3000
Automatic server discovery: not
I'm tempted to re-flash the SD card and start over. Advice needed...I should say one weird thing I noticed is that the switch to "Suppress nmea events" is ON...that seems to be a bad thing.
