OpenCPN Radar Overlay PlugIn

I think I need some help over here.
I am trying to set up Netzob.
However I am getting a runtime error when trying to installing matplotlib
There is something wrong how it uses the MV C++ library.
Se attachment.
The same thing is true for Pcapy
I have been consulting the net but can't find a solution.
I could set up a linux machine and try installing there but decided to ask you first. Thanks in advance.

Hans...
Sorry, no idea, I'm not using Windows for anything but occasionally compiling and testing OpenCPN in a virtual machine for the past couple of years...
If you can install Linux or at least boot a live distro, you will most likely be done faster.

Tried to compile gradar from git clone git://github.com/bdbcat/gradar_pi.git when in plugins directory

Where do I change this path? in cmake?

Thanks.

The file you have to edit is this one :
....\OpenCPN\plugins\gradar_pi\CMakeLists.txt

This is on line 164 or there around.
Then rebuild.

Thanks Hans, I set it up like Dashboard

IF(WIN32)
SET(OPENCPN_IMPORT_LIB "../../${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/${PARENT}")
#  SET(PARENT opencpn)
#  SET(OPENCPN_IMPORT_LIB "../../${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/${PARENT}")
#  SET(OPENCPN_IMPORT_LIB "C:/Data-Dart/Up-Soft/Navigation/opencpn-git/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/opencpn.lib")
  TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( ${PACKAGE_NAME} ${OPENCPN_IMPORT_LIB} )
  ADD_DEPENDENCIES(${PACKAGE_NAME} ${PARENT})
ENDIF(WIN32)

and it completed with just one warning, no errors.

Build succeeded.

Now I wonder if Neptune Gear needs an older version compiled?
Whoops just realized he uses Br24/Simrad. Sorry.

Hi folks,

We're planning to purchase a Garmin radar for use with OpenCPN. I'm trying to put the order together. The installation instrucions (GRadarDoc.pdf) reference the adaptor to use to connect radar cable to computer. Unfortunately the provided link is broken and the product name (Amphenol MRJ*5780*01) doesn't turn up in a search of the manufacturer's website.

It shouldn't be rocket science as it's "readily available" and there are probably many places to buy the right bit online, but I'm concerned about ordering the correct part the first time, since we have to ship it halfway around the world.

Would appreciate a hand in locating the hardware I need to order online! Can anyone help - and, is there a better thread for this? Slightly overwhelmed by the volume here but striking out with searching on CF.

high and dry in a Thai shipyard,
Behan

Amphenol MRJ-5780-01
instead

Hello

I have been using Opencpn for 5 years now, a year ago i installed Grader on my Dedicated Winows XP Computer on the Boat, and am Very Happy with it.

Now i am trying to install Gradar on My Acer 9 inch computer to use as a backup. I also have Windows XP on it. I copied the TCPIP numbers in the control panel on my working Gradar to the Backup computer, but cannot get it to work, i have enclosed some screen shots.

any help appreciated.

Thanks

rontom....
Although not having a Garmin radar I should have tried an IP address in the same segment as the radar e.g. 176.16.2.1 instead.

Well, the subnet mask is 255.255.240.0 so the PC and the scanner should be in same subnet so that should be ok.

rontom....
You don't happen to have two IP-interfaces on the Acer ?

Edit: I now see the only interface that OpenCPN can see is the loopback. Hmmm...
Something fishy here.

Thanks for the Reply

I am not real savy on computers like some of you are, so forgive me,
I do have 2 network connecions, on the Acer,is that the same as 2 ip addresses? If so, should i disable, or delete them completely?

I have the Acer at home now and looking through things , but am not connected to GPS or the Garmin
Radar.

Thanks

[rontom]

I see these 2 connections for my internet.

[hasse_A]

rontom.

On the print screen you sent, both interfaces seem to be disabled.
The "Local Area Connection" (The interface connected to the scanner) must be enabled.
This explains why OpenCPN only saw the loop back interface.

[rontom]

Thank you Hans

I tried to make it work with one of the enabled this am, but it turned out the
same results. I will try again in the Morning, i will take the Acer back down to the Boat and hook up the hardware again and try to replicate what is on the main computer on the Boat.


Thanks
