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?
