Re: Raymarine Quantum 2 Q24D Radar & OpenCPN 5.8.2 + radar_pi

I have analyzed al lot of data from the Raymarine Quantum2 radar. Spoke length is 250 pixels and the number of spokes is 250. This explains why the image is very "pixelated". Compare this with a Halo...

Re: OpenCpn with Halo 20+ Radar

But be careful, sending the radar data over WiFi is not reliable. It may work, or it may not work. And when it functions it can produce missing spokes anytime, or stop functioning completely.

Re: AutoTrackRaymarine_pi: Remote control and route following for Evolution Pilots

The original (older) version of the AutoTrackRaymarine controlled the NGT-1 directly and only functioned with the NGT-1. Now OpenCPN supports nmea2000, we use OpenCPN to transmit and receive nmea2000...

Re: Radar plugin v5.0.0 released

No we lack the software in the plugin to update the radar firmware. Try to borrow a MFD to do the update.

Re: AutoTrackRaymarine_pi: Remote control and route following for Evolution Pilots

This should all be OK, it is more or less the same as I have on the boat.

Re: Radar plugin v5.0.0 released

Fabrice,
I tried to reproduce your issue with a Windows computer, a Simrad NSX MFD and a Halo 20+ radar. But the issue does not occur, the system is running fine with both display systems.
Can you...

Re: AutoTrackRaymarine_pi: Remote control and route following for Evolution Pilots

Earlier this plugin only functioned with a NGT-1. But since OpenCPN supports nmea2000, the plugin will function with all supported nmea2000 interfaces that OpenCPN supports, NGT-1 is one of them. But...

Re: Radar plugin v5.0.0 released

Fabrice,
We don't really follow a formal development cycle. Normally one tries something, make it better, if it looks good then the implementation is the specification. But anyone is free to do...

Re: Radar plugin v5.0.0 released

Fabrice,

Thanks for your professional comments.
The current ARPA system was born out of an experiment trying to distinguish a target on the radar screen. Gradually this was extended to what we...

Re: Radar plugin v5.0.0 released

The radar_pi is using GPS positions for the ARPA. That means that all target positions and speeds are are relative to ground. The ARPA targets are passed to OpenCPN with TTM messages. OpenCPN handles...

Re: About the AutoTrackRaymarine Plugin

Steve, thanks for your info. I agree that implementation in OpenCPN is by far the best option, however I think it is beyond my scope. If it is done, it has to be done properly, including the...

And this is not the right place for radar_pi related issues, better use one of the radar plugin threads or even better file an issue in https://github.com/opencpn-radar-pi/radar_pi

Re: Beta Test / Technical

When ARPA is not enabled, there is no crash?
How many targets did the ARPA system register? You will not find this in the log file, but the target id's are sequential and give a good indication....

Re: About the AutoTrackRaymarine Plugin

I could add the generation of PGN's 129283 or 129284 to the AutoTrackRaymarine plugin. But it might be better to add the generation of the messages to OpenCPN itself. O generates navigational...

Re: About the AutoTrackRaymarine Plugin

Yves, thanks for the positive feedback, often one will only get reactions when things don't work.

For other potential users: the current version of the plugin will only work on Windows in...

Re: Raymarine radar plugin for OpenCPN

As the developers of radar_pi do not have access to Raymarine radars, support of these radars is limited. With the help of an owner of a Raymarine Quantum2 we have managed to get this one...

Re: About the AutoTrackRaymarine Plugin

Just for your understanding, the autopilot does not know that the plugin is tracking, for the autopilot it is just Auto. The plugin does the tracking by...
