Hello Stelian, I will make a trial of this release ASAP.
Thanks for your work.

Hi Stelian,

I too will test the new release, but as a general heads up: the tinypilot from the previous release hasn't disconnected for over 10 days. It looks like you solved the connect at boot and the disconnect problems!

Thanks again!

First test-results:

after the update (and reboot of the tinypilot) signalk crashed, so I couldn't see whether it reconnected. I've tested a few times more now, and the reconnect works still. The duration of the connection will take a little time.

Thanks for the report. I assume the crash of signalk is not caused by pypilot ?

[hans-martijn]

Maybe, but the crash was "no configuration data", and before that were no logs, since I forgot to give read-rights on the log directory I had assigned to signalk. I hope it wil log something in the future...

Mostly I couldn't see the dashboard anymore, so I couldn't see whether there were connections.

@Stelian: the rudder angle doesn't get passed on to signalk anymore.

As usual, if you need any data, please tell me.

if you can reliably repeat the crash... pypilot shouldnt be able to crash signalk-node-server

@hans-martijn: what did you exactly test: my image or my image + the "unstable" tcz from the post above ?

@Stelian I am using your latest unstable tcz since this morning.

@Sean: let me try that in another week or so, today I changed my modem and my can-bus to less power hungry ones, so I had to reboot the pi a few times. I was getting low voltage warnings, which are now gone.

This is strange because I don't think there were any changes regarding the rudder or the data forward to signalk lately. Sean ?

Just to make things clear, "my" unstable tcz is exactly the contents of Sean's unstable branch + a couple of fixes for tinycore 13.

BTW: I have updated again the tcz with the latest changes from Sean: https://www.popies.net/pypilot/unstable/pypilot.tcz

[hans-martijn]

@Stelian: I updated to the latest pypilot.tcz (as in the link in your latest post), and after the reboot everything was ok (it automatically connected), but still no rudder data. There is rudder data on the pypilot page, so I assume that is working.

Hello Stelian, I am testing your last release. that's working but on my equipment with a worse behavior than the previous one for the Signal K connection. It's OK when starting Openplotter and Tinypilot together, but it doesn't succeed to reconnect after a reboot from one or the other equipment.
