I apologize I do not know how to edit my post. I can't see an edit button on the topic or in my profile.
UPDATE
Ok so I'm running into a couple of issues
I think I was able to get the
AIS setup using OpenCPN
software but I was being silly and trying to shift my install location using a usb extender for my usb hub and kept crashing. The problem is I formated and couldn't get back there easily. Now onto the installs.
To install
GPS.
Add a connection choose
Serial for the type/radio button
Dataport should be easily identifiable mine was /dev/ttyAMC0 - ........ GPS/GNSS Receiver
If you run into this problem finding this and have issues troubleshooting it let me know
Then change your Baudrate(I believe most are 9600 but you will have to verify yours)
Then I have always read to make priority 0
Apply then you should be good to go
To install VNC
I was unable to get the GUI for RealVNC or get any setup that looked close to the Pi so I followed
https://tinkerboarding.co.uk/forum/thread-273.html
and installed x11vnc
I can attach to it using VNCviewer like I would for the Pi
I also haven't gone through setting up a PAN??(Personal Area
Network or whatever to share wifi)
Now on to the AIS.
The process of using OpenCPN
software requires adding like 3 other programs, I think RTL-SDR
radio, aisdecoder1.0.0.0, and one other I can't remember(why I passed by this
installation this time)
I found
https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-tuto...ship-tracking/
and used AISdeco2 from that site
You need to add a connection in OpenCPN
Add a connection choose
Network for the type/radio button
For Protocol choose UDP for the type/radio button
Address is 127.0.0.1
DataPort is 10110
Again Priority 0
Apply and on to installing and running AISdeco2
I am having a hard time getting onto the AISdeco2 site so here is the tar/gz file(if the link breaks let me know)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Bj...dVYjgAf6gAjEKY
Extract the tar/gz file(I put it in folder ais in my home)
This is the command(again mine is in home/ais) to get it up and running, I know you need to get your own freq-correction(mine is -98 if you don't know it check the readme for a program and walkthrough to find it)
"./ais/aisdeco2 --freq-correction -98 --udp 127.0.0.1:10110"
let the window sit open in the background
I believe this is working properly but my
boat is stuck in my slip and my AIS target is not here currently(checked on a known good system, the Pi)
If there are any issues I will update again but if not this is as far as I am currently taking things(I will set up a PAN so I don't need
wifi to connect to my VNC but won't post that update). I don't have a
radar and until I have a backup I will not change my
depth finder to something I have questions on, maybe when I get more comfortable with my area I will try to add in other features but as of now this works for me.
Thank you all for your time and good luck in your
boating adventures, be safe out there
