'Cos that is what the docs told me to do. Ok, I will try doing it directly from the USB into OpenCPN.
I will report back on that.
Any suggestions on why the mouse is freezing?
Using the SignalK server as the marine data server is the best way to separate the OpenCPN Chartplotter software and the data steam(s).
With SignalK you can later simply add another input, because it works as a multiplexer.
You can use the instrument set MxTommy Kip for the display of the data with several dials. You can send back the waypoint and route data from OpenCPN to the SignalK server and also show the putput in the Kip display. or send the nmeadata to an autopilot.
Then there is the SignalK diagnostics app to show the GPS and, if you have one the AIS input in detail.
It can be done direct in OpenCPN, but via SignalK is a better option.
You can make screen print with FN and delete key if you have a wireless keyboard. On other keyboards, there is a key marked PrtScrn.
Input to the Signak server is easy to be done with the app Serial which gives the item an alias, so that it is reconized in every usb port.
The freezing of the mouse has probably to do with two Items on the same usb address.
Also check if the partition is expanded after you put the image on the SD. What SD are you using ?
