Setup Tinypilot to SignalK/AVNav

[Arbalete]

Hello,

I have a tinypilot by Navitop.fr and a RaspberryPi 4 with AVNav navigation software and SignalK. I would expect that, if the WIFI-connections of pypilot are set to:

mTinypilot WLAN-Konfiguration
AP and client
Zugangspunkt SSID pypilot
Zugangspunkt Schlüssel (leer lassen für keine Verschlüsselung) 
Client SSID (of my Raspi4AP)
Client Schlüssel (mypassword)
Client-Modus-Adresse (leer lassen für DHCP) 

would simply bring up the connection to my boatnetwork and pypilot could receive data from signalk. But it doesn't work this way. 

Please let me know, how to setup this connection step by step.

Thank you
Michael

Personally, this no longer bothers me because I prefer to have Pypilot as the master of the Wi-Fi network. The autopilot is always powered and ready to use, while the other instruments and the tablet are only switched on intermittently. This way, I'm certain that my autopilot will always be functional and accessible from any device with a web browser or OpenCPN, even if the rest of the onboard electronics fail.

This is especially problematic if you want to install another Raspberry Pi with Pypilot in "remote mode" as a repeater with buttons and LCD display. You then need to follow the steps described in the link to configure Pypilot's "remote mode" as a client.

My setup is

• Signalk : raspberry PI 4 (ip 192.168.3.2)
  
• Avnav : raspberry PI 3 (ip 192.168.3.4)
  
• Pypilot : raspberry PI zero (ip 192.168.3.3)
  
• Wifi router (ip 192.168.3.1)
  

Signalk, Avnav and Pypilot are wire connected to the wifi router
To wire connect the pypilot 

• usb to ethernet adaptator 
  
• load module net-usb-4.9.22-piCore.tcz
• add to bootlocal.sh
  
  Code:

  chpst -utc tce-load -i net-usb >> $DEBUG
ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.3

Everything is working well since 2 years
I use pypilot in

• compas (from pypilot sensor)
  
• gps (from sensor connected to signalk server)
  
• wind / true wind (from wind sensor connected in NMEA183 to signalk server)
  
• Nav (from route make in Avnav)

But why does it work with Openplotter, but not with SingnalK and AVNnav?
