I then went to KIP and changed the source in the Settings to http://localhost:3000.
when I update/reset I get 3 green ticks

API URL: HTTP 200: OK. 
Server: signalk-server-node Ver: 1.7.0Websocket 
Status: ConnectedHTTP REST Status: HTTP 200: OK

I used Openplotter to restart the K server.  I also rebooted.
As expected the values in the Dashboard are now null as I have no data for them.

When I try to edit the display values in KIP ( to select Range or Bearing) I just have red lines either side of Path and Source.
The dropdowns are blank.

I feel I am missing something small in the configuration.
Any suggestions as to what I can try next?

KIP instrument display webapp reads data from signal k server, so you have to be sure signal k is getting data from your devices.

If you use opencpn to generate data you will have to send data to signal k again and be careful with the loops you can generate. You could create a network output in opencpn and a network input in kplex, create a filter in opencpn input to not receive the same data again.

I found my problem.  As suggested Signal K was not receiving the data.  First issue was that I needed to use 10.10.10.1 as the host address as " localhost" was not resolving correctly.  Secend issue was the using the TCP protocol was giving errors.  UDP worked fine.  Now I have KIP showing real data.
