Hi Dave,
I have just tried to install it on both a Linux mint 20.3 XFCE4 system and on the Pi. It does install on mint, but crashes immediately when it tries to start the plugins. I cannot install it on the Pi as I cannot find the armhf install version, it appears to be only available for amd64.

I am still trying and will let you know of any progress.

Jon...
What OS are you running on rPi?

I have downloaded the armhf deb file from launchpad and will try it in the morning. I will try to just extract the executable and use that rather than doing an install which 'may' cause other issues.

thanks

Just extracted the opencpn executable and tried it on my Pi 3B+. The changes appear to work with the GPRMC message being processed correctly without looping.

Will do more extensive testing tomorrow with the other PC.

Thanks.

Just got connectivity back having been offline for a day or so - wow! a lot has gone on. Thanks for looking into this, I'll download the updated version which I hope will resolve the issue.
Thanks all.

Just installed the 'beta' version on the Pi 3B+ and PC and both are working well and communicating over the wifi to display the same data on two systems. So I have tried the ubuntu 18.04 armhf version and the ubuntu 20.04 amd64 versions and the fix seems to be working.

Thanks very much.

I also expierenced a freeze (version 5.6.0)
I had two NMEA connections active and SK connection inactive.
After removing all connections and only creating a singel new (0183) connection it's all working fine again.

I noticed in the logfile something about switching sources, which triggerd me to loog in to the NMEA connections.
Unfortunately I did not copy the logfile, so no longer available for the exact message.

I see there was some fix applied to 5.6.x branch. I can’t see an updated release in PPA for bionic buster armhf. It’s still 5.6.2 which has this issue.
Is any new release (which would fix 5.6.2) coming out soon?

Thanks

is there an update for flatpack already? I run on a rpi4 with raspberrypi os bullseye 64 bit. I usually don't get any further than one minute, if I even get that far.

The reason I have a signalk connection is that there is no option to have signalk translate volume info (I have two 500l fuel tanks, and two 500 water tanks) to nmea0183.

Thanks,
Hans

I have two systems setup that I have been developing with open plotter and also Lysmarine BBN. Both use SignalK and OpenCPN 5.6.2. I have the exact same issue as above, OpenCPN runs find when off the network but when I connect my network (NMEA Feed) OpenCPN locks up after about 5 seconds.

System 1: RPi4 (4MB) running from SSD (Openplotter)
System 2: Rpi4 (4MB) running lysmarine BBN

Tonight I will try and have OpenCPN get the NMEA data directly and skip SignalK.. I will update hte Post with the results.

NMEA source is a Miniplex 3E connected to NMEA2000 network.

I tested this weeekend: if connected to signalk through nmea 0183, the system is as stable as ever. As soon as I connect over signalk I have to shut down the server to be able to delete the connection, otherwise it freezes before I can do so.
