I2c sensor data to signal k issues

[UplandGlitch]

Pi 5 8gb ram Headless openplotter Bme280 Ina219 Gyro on i2c as well
I can see these sensors on i2c windows and they appear with addresses but I can't get the sensor data to show up anywhere in signal k. Chatgpt had me running in circles with the json but is this a pi5 issue? There used to be a connection tab in i2c that's since gone and I assume it does it automatically once the address is set but Im chasing my tail just trying to see a barometer and speed reading on a dashboard or any sort of data in signal k. Any video tutorials or help is greatly appreciated! Do I change versions? Change pi?

Hello UplandGlitch
I experience the same trouble with a RPI 4B, MacArthur hat and bme280 sensor on the I2C bus. The system worked correctly with OpenPlotter version number 3.xx. In my case it seems to be a problem of the forth version of OpenPlotter.

I did this and it worked

Location of Bindings Files:
The bindings.node file is usually located within the node_modules directory, commonly at:
/usr/lib/node_modules/signalk-server/node_modules/@serialport/bindings/
Troubleshooting Steps:
If you are encountering this error, it is usually because the native modules need to be recompiled for your current Node.js version.
1. Reinstall Plugins: Go to your user directory (often ~/.signalk or /home/pi/.signalk), remove the node_modules folder, and reinstall:
bash
cd ~/.signalk
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
2. Check User/Permissions: Ensure Signal K is running under the correct user (e.g., pi), as running as root can cause path issues.
3. Check for Conflict: If you are using OpenCPN, make sure it is not trying to read the same serial port as Signal K.
4. Reinstall Signal K: If the above fails, a fresh installation of the Signal K server is often required to fix broken binary bindings.

can anyone help me add the bmm150 sensor the the I2C pull down list of supported sensors ?

system has detected the address as 13.

do you need to use this to communuicate to the i2C sensors?
