Windy plugin needs wind.directionGround

It seems Windy plugin requires wind.directionGround. It seems I can get this on my system (Garmin GWS, Orca Core) only with derived data, but only if I use DEPRECATED option. Should Windy plugin be updated to something else or is this the only way to get directionGround?...

SensESP Wifi Configuration

My first attempts with esp32. Not sure if im doing something wrong but i cannot solve the problem after days now. I see there is a new User Interface, not sure if that could be the problem. When trying to connect to sensesp with mobile to configure as client to existing wifi, the scan is done correctly, the network can be selected and its name appears in the window, the password is entered manually or if no password is required is left blank. But the save button does not respond, nor the termin...

No data from can to SignalK

I have setup a brand new RPI 5 with latest OpenPlotter image, and brand new MacArthur HAT. I have connected it to my NMEA bus and followed the instructions on the MacArthur HAT documentation website. When I hit "Check Device Traffic" its recieving packets. Inside SignalK i have got the new connection called "can0" but it's dead. No data in or our. When I look in the serverlog I find the errors below. I asume it's the reason that I dont have any data from NMEA inside SignalK. Any ides?

Issues to connect to the SignalK server

I am writting this message as I am unable to establish a connection between my ESP32 fitted with SensESP (3.0.0-beta.1) and the SignalK server installed (from open plotter 2024-06-19-OpenPlotter-v4-Headless-stable) on my Raspberry PI 5. I used platformIO to clone the SensESP-project-template example (https://github.com/SensESP/SensESP-project-template) on my PC. I compiled (built) it and uploaded it without any problem on my type C ESP32-WROOM-32D. after uploading the ESP32 built-in LED flashes indefinitely (200ms ON - 200ms OFF). ...

Access plugin over wifi

Hi. I installed Signalk on my windows plotter. Also I downloaded the autopilot plugin and I can access ist via localhost. The windows machine is a client in a wifi network (opened by the multiplexer) and has the ip 192.168.4.3. Now I want to access the plugin from my android phone, which is a client in the network too. Does that work, and if so, what is the correct address to use?

Garmin EchoMap Plus 43cv

Hello, Im very new to the whole world of navionics and boating in gernal. I have a very small 14' aluminum boat with a very old 7.5 Johnson and i just bought this Garmin echomap plus for sonar fish finding and the navigation, so i can look at lake maps and figure out depths plan routes ect. I was very disappointed to learn after the fact that there is no way for me to do any kind of route planning away from the unit via an app or something of that nature. So the big question why am i here? Ive been reading alot about signal K and im trying to understand what i can do with it using the serial lines that come out of the Garmin. I understand that its NMEA 0183 standard or it uses the Garmin proprietary protocol for sharing data between Garmin devices. Im imagining based on my reading that i can use a raspberry pi to capture the serial data on the GPIO pins and then parse that data using Signal K. Would i then be able to pull that data into some kind of android app for viewing all my routes and way points and things like that ? And or would i be able to create routes and send them back to the unit? Maybe its better if i just ask what kinds of things can i do with this kind of setup ? Looking for ideas ...

Android app for SignalK: OceanIX?

According to Getting Started there is mention of OceanIX app for Android, but I do not find this app, at least not on my Google Play. Is there some other app like WilhelmSK (iOS) available for Android? I do not have any iOS device, otherwise I would be glad to buy it, as it seems great. Also: it would be useful to mention Victron Cerbo GX device that provide SignalK in Large firmware in Getting Started. I think more people could get to know what additional functinality Cerbo can provide with SignalK. https://signalk.org/specification/1.7.0/doc/start_using.html...

help with Serial connection conflicts

Hello, could some one point me to how I can debug this problem. Removing and reinstalling connections doesn't appear to work. The serial connections will work for a while, but I then get the following error in signalk dashboard. The only way to clear is by rebooting pi. Signalk restart does not clear the problem. What signalk logs should I be looking at?...

Signalk gps to nmea2000

I trying to get the “position feature” in Venus os to work. This is supposed to work with a nmea gps, but it’s not working for me at least. A possible workaround could be to send out a compatible gps signal from signalk. According to victron the gps signal must contain Instead of a USB GPS, a NMEA 2000 GPS can be used for remote vehicle or boat tracking in the VRM portal. ...

Signal K Autopilot Responsivness

Hi all. I have been using the Signal K Autopilot tool for quite a while. I’ve noticed that the responsiveness of it is really poor. I am sure it must be a parameter I have set incorrectly. The issue: When I press a button on the web “remote”, despite the display showing it recognises the command, the command is often not registered on the AP and therefore it requires multiple pushes/attempts for the command to register on the AP. Any guidance here would be appreciated....

Report own AIS data to Marine Traffic

I’m trying to set up reporting of own AIS data to MT. I have a station set up, and I know it is working. I can see in the log that n2k ais to 0183 is transmitted, and when I enable other vessels it is reported to MT, I even get the notification from MT that station is online. But when I only have my on vessel selected it is not updated… Any idea what could be going on here?
