Re: Recommended Cockpit Platform

Look at the title of the thread ‘Recommended Cockpit Platform’. How can you even install Windows or Mac laptop in a cockpit? Forget about their power draw.
Your suggestion doesn’t make any sense.

Re: O-Chart Plugin error on Raspi 5 (BBN)

@molly21

Why are you installing it? BBN OS comes with correct version of o-chart plugin pre-installed.
In OpenCPN catalog it seems broken.

Re: Internet on board

GL.inet travel routers are good product line.
They are on OpenWRT.

I use this one:

https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-x750/

Same vendor might have newer better models.

Re: touch screen works better on BBN compared with vanilla O

There are two images of BBN OS: Lite and Full.
Did you download Lite version?
Lite is really small with bare necessities.
Full is bareboat necessities.

Re: RPi5 - BareBoat Necessities OS - o-chart error

It’s libGLEW.so.2.2 in Debian Bookworm.

It seems plugin manager picks up not matching binary for o-chart plugin. (Might be an error in catalog).
