Hello,
I would appreciate your help finalizing my pypilot setup.
My setup: Openplotter v2 on RPi3b+, a DIY wireless anemometer & gps (usb) feeding into signal K and working well. I just added pypilot (arduino still connected via USB to rpi) but I struggle to finalize the setup. The basic mode (heading) works and I can control the actuator based on compass heading in the pypilot program, but I do have two remaining issues:
1. getting wind and gps data into pypilot:
I have not found a way to feed the data from signal k to pypilot directly. I managed to make it work via an open cpn connection (screenshot attached), however I would like to do this without opencpn running. Any suggestion how to do this from signal K directly?
2. pypilot server not connected:
Currently, I can use only the Pypilot module in openplotter to control the device, the pypilot web server is not connected (screenshot attached). The opencpn plugin does not connect either. How do I troubleshoot/setup the pypilot web server?
Many thanks for your help,
L
