How to begin debugging Seatalk?
I agree you should concentrate on the "solid light". That would suggest that the Seatalk yellow (data) wire is permanently at zero. As @adistuder has said, it needs to be flickering, not solid. Seatalk pulls the yellow wire to 0v to transmit a 1. So it should be swinging between 12v and 0v when data is being transmitted. It should be very obvious and if it really is permanently on then it would suggest the seatalk data wire is shorted to ground somehow. I don't suppose you have a scope do you?

How to begin debugging Seatalk?
Have you got it working? There is a script you can run to see the raw data which I have used to check the GPIO pin is receiveing data.

Struggling to get node red data into Kip
I often end up discovering the answer to my question moments after I post it. It's because I was selecting a text widget in Kip but the data is a number right?

Can someone talk me through Kip boolean control panel --> node red
Well thanks for the responses anyway. I have it working in node red, I was hoping to keep everything in once place using Kip but I am getting the hang of node red and its layout so I have a route that works for me.

Can someone talk me through Kip boolean control panel --> node red
I just tried it again after deleting my cache and logging in again. On my Pixel 8 pro it only sends on a click event, and then only a 1 (true). It looks like Android behaviour as anything long and there is no debug message at all. I deleted the old push button and tried a new one. It was the same behavior with the deprecated version, although I can't assign the path again this time around.

Can someone talk me through Kip boolean control panel --> node red
I noticed keeping the button pressed sends true every half a second on my laptop but it doesn't seem to do so on an Android phone, which is what I wanted to use it on. On the phone it seems to act like a toggle switch, i.e. I have to push it each time I want to set true/false.

Image folder for images for node red dashboard
Well I found something. My image tag: <img src="b1.jpg" width="500" height="600"> worked when I placed it in /home/pi/.signalk/red/node_modules/node-red-dashboard/dist/
I'm not sure if this is correct or a bodge. I must have been editing the wrong settings.js file in my previous post?

Actually I'm not sure it was to do with the numeric value. It seems to be that it takes several minutes to show up in the path list in Kip, despite it being available in the data browser immediately. But the behavior on an Android phone is not the same as from a web browser so I guess it is back to node red dashboard, which isn't nearly as nice looking.

It was an option with the now depricated boolean button/switch, which is great for something like a windlass. Can you tell me what to put in the meta units (presumably the send pathvalue) node. It would advance my understanding.

Can someone talk me through Kip boolean control panel --> node red
OK. The checkbox "use numeric value" was the one. Can you explain why this is? Also, is there a way to make the push button behave as a momentary (like a mouse down/mouse up), or is it possible to use the depricated one? Thanks for the help, I have been at this for hours.

I can't see it with the boolean control panel push switch either. (Hopefully this control has a momentary function as oppsed to cilck, but I can't get that far at the moment)

Setting up Kip for different devices
I can't quite get the global/user scope idea. But I think I am getting there. I have to log in as a specific user, set up my layout and that then gets saved as "default"? In other words one is only ever viewing the "default" configuration and if you save different layouts you have to copy them to "default"? Increasingly I am finding that my brain works very differently to most other people on this planet.
