Hi folks,
I’m new to the software and hardware stack but have been having great time far setting up all my boat devices.
I am unfortunately stuck, I’m on a Pi5 and aware that it does not have Seatalk support yet so I’ve jumped around this issue using a Raymarine Nautech 3015-059 A Seatalk interface that simply converts the signal to a NMEA0183 one. I connected and the lights started flickering showing that its receiving a signal. I then go through the process of enabling UART3 (UART5 is greyed out for some reason) restart and set up my connection and add to Signal K.
When I go to Signal K I go to data connection and set up an input event name, wasnt sure if I needed to set up an output event but did anyway (there arent ant good tutorials explaining this step)
After that I rebooted the server and expected to see something in the Data browser but nothing… I see my connection in the connections activity in the dashboard but its only outputting not inputting.
The devices im trying to connect to are old Autohelm Wind and Speed devices ST50
I guess my question is what am I supposed to see after setting up my connection, something in tje data browser? This flickering green light on the Macarthur hat is taunting me.
Thanks so much!
