Re: Open cpn android tablet connection

This question is probably best asked on the OpenCPN Android forum (https://bigdumboat.com/aocpn/forum/), or possibly just the OpenCPN forum (https://cruisersforum.com/forums/f134).

Re: Robertson AP300CX blind

I'm reasonably sure that in your current setup with the HLD2000 hydraulic drive , J300x junction unit you will still require either a AP300CX, AP300PX or AP300DLX controller.

They physically...

Re: B&G Zeus3 not finding instruments

What's a TST Wind Vane ?

Does the wind vane have a NMEA 2000 interface at the base of the mast, or does the NMEA 2000 cable go up the mast ?

I would start by testing the NMEA 2000 network for...

Re: Robertson AP300CX blind

The HLD2000 should be able to be driven by any autopilot computer provided they can supply sufficient peak current and that they have a clutch output. As other have...

Re: Building TwoCanPlugin for non-raspberry arm64 Linux

I think it may be a bug in OpenCPN.

I believe it uses a hard coded list for the available can interfaces, so it doesn't recognize your interface canE

Is there any way you can change the name ?...

Re: Building TwoCanPlugin for non-raspberry arm64 Linux

If the candump utility works, then OpenCPN's built-in NMEA 2000 support should also work.

Re TwoCan, builds are done using the Circle CI platform. There are a whole lot of Circle CI build...

Re: NMEA 2000 Network Not Making Sense - Working Without Terminators

Your current network is totally wrong.

Suggest you have a read of some of the manuals produced by the vendors.

I was doing some drawings for others, so here's a suggestion for you.

Re: Transferring Routes, GPX files, to new Raymarine Axiom Hybrid Touch

I think (therefore no guarantees), that the import file must be located on the SD Card in the folder \Raymarine\My Data

Re: Still trouble running NMEA data stream and Radar in parallel. Any help?

This should not be hard, as other than entering an IP address (which can be copy-n-pasted from elsewhere), it is little different to setting up a home network and connecting your phone, tablet or...

Re: Still trouble running NMEA data stream and Radar in parallel. Any help?

Dare I say it, but we may need a "dummies guide to networking".

This is probably, more of a summary of the thread, however in this case, the user needed to know:

Re: Choosing a gateway ?

Them there are fighting words.....

TwoCan provided OpenCPN with NMEA 2000 support about three or four years before the OpenCPN developers were dragged kicking & screaming to support it natively.

Re: N2K -> ethernet gateway TX capability added

Re: B&G Zeus 3s not showing Ocean Signal MOB1 AIS test

Perhaps open a support case with Navico. If you go to settings - network - NMEA2000 - diagnostics and save a capture file, that may be of use to them.

Re: B&G Zeus 3s not showing Ocean Signal MOB1 AIS test

Just performed a simple test on a Vulcan 7R (Software Version 20.2, Application 64.3.46). I would expect similar behaviour for your Zeus 3s?

Re: Radar and chartplotter compatibility

You need to find the equivalent of this (https://prod.bandg.com/en-nz/service/BG-knowledge-base/?contentTitle=Radar-Compatibility-Guide&contentId=023_007-596) for your specific Vulcan model.
