Re: looking for some advice/questions answered for around the world planning

My 2 cents if I may is that I would never consider anything under a 40 footer if you plan to live on it with a teenage boy. He will need space to get away from it all. For the same reason to...

Great Boats at Great Prices?

A friend of mine bought a very similar van der stadt about 3 years ago for 35,000 EUR and is doing a circumnavigation now (www.luckybitch.be). Very robust boat, but I always found the interior a...

Re: Raspberry Pi and OpenCPN 3.1.915

Indeed the Pi is very low on memory that is then shared as well.
I am using 1280x800.
I could go to less, but I don't really want to.
I think we will need to wait for a Model C that has 1 GB or...

Re: Raspberry Pi and OpenCPN 3.1.915

I did some websearching and it seems that the error message i get in dmesg when running the charts from a USB drive is NOT a bug in Raspberry Pi but it is due to OpenCPN for some reason.
It could be...

Re: Raspberry Pi and OpenCPN 3.1.915

Now that i have turbo mode installed, I thought I'd retry to have the charts on the USB disk. However, i turns out not to be a performance issue of the Pi.
OpenCPN crashes a short time into trying...

Re: Raspberry Pi and OpenCPN 3.1.915

The overclocking is indeed impressive. I used the highest speed and OpenCPN is now a little slow, but workable.
It has impressive results on overall Pi performance of course. Where it was rather...

Re: Raspberry Pi and OpenCPN 3.1.915

I finally made it work. The system didnt like it that the charts were on an external USB drive, so I copied them to the SD card.
OpenCPN works, but I find it far too slow to be of use.
I guess the...

Re: Raspberry Pi and OpenCPN 3.1.915

"make install" did not generate any errors.
BUT, I have just rebooted my pi and - behold - suddenly i do have version 3.1.919 and I am surviving the crash place.
I have now added my charts and the...

Re: Raspberry Pi and OpenCPN 3.1.915

I found an obvious error : even though i compiled it now, the version is still 3.1.915
Probably because "sudo apt-get remove opencpn" could not find the package. Not sure if i could just remove the...

Re: Raspberry Pi and OpenCPN 3.1.915

I rebooted this morning and lo! it compiled with warnings (see below). However, it failed to run again, crashing still after telling me no charts had been installed.
When I ran it with option...

Raspberry Pi and OpenCPN 3.1.915

I am playing with Raspberry Pi as it looks ideal to run OpenCPN on.
I was able to compile OpenCPN R3.1.95 (latest stable downloaded from the website).
When I run OpenCPN, I come to the welcome...

Re: Boat electronics : what am i looking at?

Thanks. The blue line goes to a windlass indeed.
But what is the grey block? Is that possibly a NMEA network connector?

Re: 15km High Speed Wifi Link to a stationary boat. ADVICE!

I guess the bandwidth is not going to be your biggest headache, but the QoS is. Video is real-time and packet loss will immediately be "translated" into artefacts on screen or even the image...

Re: Digital Yacht AIS w/ OpenCPN ?

I use the AIT1000 Class B transponder as well. No problems using it on a USB port. Mind that you follow the instructions on the DY homepage to simulate RS232 on the USB port. I am using OpenCPN...

Elan 333 Manual

I recently bought an Elan 333 from 2003. I assume the boat normally comes with a manual of what is where exactly. Does anyone know where one can get such a manual?
