How to send RMB info from Opencpn to Signal K
#1
Hi question,

I've an openplotter implementation, 
Instruments (including AP) connected via NMEA2000 to signal_K 
OpenCPN connect via Signal_K input  (on the same PI) So I get al information in Opencpn.

But now I want to send Waypoint (Bearing and distance) (RMB) from Opencpn to my instruments (AP)
I would like to send  this information via SIgnal_K to NMEA 2000

But what is the best way to do this ???

There is no Signal_K out interface in openCPN, isn't it ?

Suggestions are welcome !

The manual shows how to get autopilot nmea0183 data from opencpn to signalk,

I don't have n2k but looks like the signalk-n2k plugin will take care of sending the data back out to your n2k network, manual page for outputting is - https://openplotter.readthedocs.io/lates...utput.html
