Hi Ironman,
Going through system configuration:I have rpi 3B+ with Pican-M hat which is seeing the N2K data via signalK.
Over the N2K network, I believe to be sending out NMEA messages on port 20220, which are green in the NMEA debug tool offered by opencpn. The way I am accessing this PI is through VNC viewer(In case this has any influence to how ports are transmitting data). This pi identifies itself as openplotter.
The pypilot is connected to the openplotter wifi, and is on IP address 10.10.10.2. On the configuration page, I have 10.10.10.1:20220 for the NMEA host:port. The way I am accessing the pypilot is by going to 10.10.10.2 on my browser.
From here, back on openplotter, I open an instance of opencpn, and navigate to connections. There I made a TCP connection, to 10.10.10.2 with port 20220. I have it both accepting input and outputs. I selected RMC,APB,MWV first, but that didn't allow the pypilot to select anything other than compass(cant select GPS, Wind, True wind). [I tried adding ECRMB,ECRMC,ECAPB, but this didn't change anything. I also tried using UDP and Signal K, varied inputs off and on, and tried moving over to port 10110, all with no improvement.]
After selecting the current configuration(TCP, 10.10.10.2:20220), I went into opencpn, made a waypoint approx 30 degrees off my centerline and 2kn away, and told opencpn to navigate there. After doing this, in the NMEA debug window under options->connections, I first close the options window(as told in the opencpn wiki(this appears to be old information, NMEA debug window updates just fine now)),and my NMEA messages are appearing green, meaning they are being accepted, but when I look at pypilot, I cannot select GPS, wind, or true wind.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am slowly losing my mind.
Many thanks in advance.
