Daisy Hat not showing on Open Plotter - frustrated

[EDELCAT33]

Well, I guess it pays to have a computer engineer in the family that works with linux. He got rid of the conflict by modifying the program at the terminal.
I could have sworn my US coast guard ECN charts displayed the height of the bridges - that is no longer the case - but all other information works, and the AIS receiver works in my house when I turn on my chinese $60 AIS transmitter.

Next projects are:
- to hook my wind vane, depth transducer, and autopilot. All are Raymarine
-- The wind vane is an ST60+, the depth is an i40, and I have 3 autopilots - ST1000+ and 2 - ST2000+  (redundancy)
-- I also have a VHF with mmsi but I cant think of a good reason to connect it to the rasberry pi or Opencpn
- I am looking also for a solution for:
-- display how many gallons I have left of water in both of my 60 gallons tanks in each hull. Maybe some kind of optical lever and a program that translate level with gallons?
-- display how many gallons of gas is left on my 12 gallon "portable tank"  - the boat engine is a single 25HP Yamaha outboard
-- display  the temperature of my fridge - so I can turn it off and on at a certain temperature. I have an old "portable" Dometic CF-110 106 liter capacity  top open fridge/freezer
    with a bad board so it does not stop cooling. I am sure there is somewhere a bluetooth stand alone rechargeable  temperature probe I can just throw inside to monitor the temperature.
-- this next project may be crazy but I wonder if I can connect a PIR or 2 to detect movement of birds and blow a horn or a recording of a hawk or Owl?

Great!   

Though it  would be really useful for others  to know what he did & how it happened.

Doesn't it want a GPS feed for DSC?

If I am not wrong you were trying to remove that offending serial connection in opencpn using the openplotter-serial app and this app just tries to open opencpn so that you can manually edit opencpn connections using the opencpn interface. You already had opencpn running and that is why you were getting that message about opencpn already running.

Hi Paddy - my son was at home for spring break, he went in typed a bunch of things and took off and told me: "It is working now" - so I am sorry but not much else said by him.

I have exactly the same problem. To remove the unwanted connections is it simply a case of shutting down opencpn before removing them in serial? How do we get rid of the error message relating to the absent alias on start up?

[Sailoog]

You can not delete OpenCPN serial connections from openplotter-serial app. You must do that from OpenCPN, go to options - connections, select the serial connection and click "Remove connection".

When you try to remove the serial connection from openplotter-serial app, it just tries to open OpenCPN so you can do it there but nothing else will happen.

$60 Chinese ais transmitter? do tell......

As the Logfile tells, it is your OpenCPN Configuration that opens the wrong serial.
So go there - as sailloog says - and remove this connection.
