My first tests:
I used OpenPlotter 3 Starting
2022-02-06-OpenPlotter-v3-alpha-64bit-img.zip
Applied defauts initial configuration steps
Will go for Belgian options with French keyboard
Changed screen resolution to 1920x1080
Changed GPU memory to 256Mb
Rebooted and had following error:
"[ 1.535413] mmc1: Controller never released inhibit bit(s)." WHAT TO DO?
Installed Signal-K Installer 3.1.2-beta from Settings 3.2.1
No issues
Made a connection to setup admin account
Installed XyGrib 1.2.6-3bullseye1 from Settings 3.2.1
No issues
Tested without issues
Installed CAN Bus 3.2.2-beta from Settings 3.2.1
No issues
Installed parameters recommanded for PICAN-M NMEA2000 board installation:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=25
dtoverlay=spi-bcm2835-overlay
sudo /sbin/ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 250000
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
auto can0
iface can0 inet manual
pre-up /sbin/ip link set can0 type can bitrate 250000
up /sbin/ifconfig can0 up
down /sbin/ifconfig can0 down
Rebooted and had following errors:
1. Failed to load dtoverlay=spi-bcm2835-overlay
Changed this to comment line in config.txt file IS-IT NORMAL?
2. During Check System: during checking CAN devices...
There is no Signal K connection for interface: can0
I did the MCP2515 device connection to Signal-K
System check completed successfully
CAN Bus now working without issues and check device traffic working fine
Started Signal-K 1.42.0
can0 correctly identified with Status "Connected" without error
Total server Signal K throughput (deltas/second) 3.0
Connection activity (deltas/second)
defaults 0 (0%)
can0 3 (100%)
No issues
Installed OpenCPN installer 3.1.1-beta from Settings 3.2.1
No issues
Executed OpenCPN Installer 3.1.1
Executed Check Versions
Debian/Ubuntu PPA candidate: 5.6.2.2~ubuntu20.04.1 500
Flatpak candidate: 5.6.2+b75be76 - stable
Installation of Debian/Ubuntu PPA
No issues
Started OpenCPN
Made initial parameters setup
Installed GSHHG basemaps
Created network connection for Signal-K protocol for localhost on port 3000
No issues
Executed system check without errors or warnings
GPS working correctly on OpenCPN confirming CAN correct captures
Suspected issue:
Options / Plugins / Plugins catalog update: only 4 plugins visible
Want to access o-charts plugin to download my maps. Not available
Extended list of plugins not available IS-IT NORMAL?
I will continue my tests tomorrow after your feedback.
Happy to collaborate to this great work.
