Re: Tactics Plugin

It did not crash other than during startup of OCPN, but if I rebooted the PC or shut down and restarted OCPN, it would crash every time, if the plugin was enabled.
But the "unplug NMEA-feed" trick...

Re: Tactics Plugin

Unplugging the USB-serial converter during startup of OpenCPN works every time.
Thanks!

It is also so easy to unplug it that I think it is a better solution than the script for now.

Now the...

Re: Tactics Plugin

Ah!

Windows 10, 64 bit.
I get most data to OpenCPN from a Actisense NGW-1, and AIS via ethernet from a raspberry pi running OpenPlotter.

I will try to disable all the nmea-inputs and try some...

Re: Tactics Plugin

OpenCPN often crashes during startup with this plugin enabled for me.
OpenCPN 4.6.1, the 1.0005 plugin from the link you provided.

Re: OpenPlotter project

There are some alternatives out there already, google "navtex decoder software" or similar, maybe it is possible to find an open source project and integrate it into openplotter in the far future.

Re: OpenPlotter project

After some research, it turns out that the ELM329 does support n2k IF you do some setup and stuff, setting it in direct mode.

You will still need to decode the data and so on, and it does only...

Re: OpenPlotter project

Imagine that n2k is in "english"
And the ELM chip is made to translate polish, russian, spanish, french etc to AT-commands that the computer can use to ask what has been said to the ELM-chip.

Re: OpenPlotter project

The Elm is made for OBD in cars and converts the standard protocols and does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to decoding the data.

And N2k is NOT one of the protocols the ELM supports,...

Re: OpenPlotter project

You can make a Navtex-receiver even cheaper with just a SDR, and let the software do the decoding.

Re: OpenPlotter project

It is the default page (first tab) in the openplotter GUI, you can give the serial/usb converter a permanent alias that is linked to the serial number or product ID.

After setting up the alias you...

Re: OpenPlotter project

Add it just like you did with the gps, but with the correct baudrate.

Re: OpenPlotter project

Have you set it up under the SDR-AIS-tab in openplotter?

Have a look in the documentation :) (https://sailoog.gitbooks.io/openplotter-documentation/content/en//sdr_ais.html)

Re: OpenPlotter project
