getting NMEA time when starting open plotter
#1
Dear all

When starting Openplotter, in start up window I see all necessary services to be started.
As my system was only connected to gps antenna and AIS receiver the start up was running smooth.
After having connected the echosounder and the Vhf-radio via "USB to NMEA Serial Adaptor" from Digital Yacht, the run up routine stops at "Getting NMEA time.....".
I started again without these connections, it runs smooth again. Connecting after run up is possible and system works without problems.
My question is, does anybody know a work around solution, maybe to configure the system that it takes its NMEA time from GPS antenna by default? To connect and disconnect the USB plugs all the time is kind of annoying.

Dear Sailoog
Many thanks for reply. Sorry for my late answer as well. In meantime the problem is solved. By reconstructing my system I connected an AIS receiver with the raspi by USB. This AIS receiver was as well connected to the boats power system.
When disconnecting the receiver from the power system openplotter had no problems with startup any more.
That means, the AIS receiver is now powered by the usb connection only.

best regards
Ludwig
