Pypilot #127

Hi, I connect my tinypilot (raspberry pi Zero W) via the local network to port 80 (via the plugin config of the signalkK server) and I get connection between freeboard web page and the pilot . But
1/ I can change the target with +1 -1 +10 -10 2/ the target should bee the BRG but it's not the case 3/ The mode nav didn't stay, going back to GPS all the times

Connecting the pypilot to the Chart Plotter is a great project. Thank you for your work.

I'm not familiar with Tinypilot operation but can describe the current functionality to hopefully assist in finding a solution.

Freeboard-SK communicates with pypilot via the websocket connection provided by pypilot_web.

So information displayed in Freeboard-SK is what is received from pypilot via this channel. Same goes for the commands sent.

So the commands for +/-10 are flowing through.

The target value displayed is the heading_command value from pypilot.

The mode switching back reflects the value received from pypilot... Freeboard-SK only displays the information coming from the pilot so this would indicate the mod change was not successful.

Effectively Freeboard-SK is just acting as a terminal for the values received from pypilot_web.

Can Tinypilot be controlled by the pypilot web interface?

Hi Adrian,

Yes the pypilot can be controlled by the web interface, they also a python GUI. There is also a plugin in OpenCpn to command the pypilot (same as freeboard), it works with a connection on port 20220. So I don't know the best way to command the pypilot!

On my setup, actually the remote in freeboard :

  1. get the heading from pypilot (target)
  2. get and set the switch "engage", perfect synchronization with the web interface
  3. get and set the mode except "nav". perfect synchronisation with the web interface un gps et compas mode
  4. +1, -1, -10, +10 do nothing
  5. When I set a route to active the target of the pypilot didn't take the BRG of the route

I can imagine it's not simple to test code if you have the device to check. I can do my best to help to make it working. I am preparing my boat to start a world tour next year and I would like to use freeboard as my main chart plotter.

Best regards

Vincent

Thanks for providing more details.

  1. +1, -1, -10, +10 do nothing

Fixed in v2.3.1.

  1. When I set a route to active the target of the pypilot didn't take the BRG of the route

So with regards activating a route....Freeboard-SK sets this on the Signal K server (using the Course API) which populates the relevant paths on the Signal K server. You will likely need to enable all the options in the signalk-to-nmea0183 plugin to ensure APB, RMB, MWV sentences are generated for pypilot to see.

Thank you Andrian With 2.3.1 the +1, -1, -10, +10 are working, congratulations! I understand that the transfer of target value is between signalk server and pypilot. At this time it's not working and I am trying different configurations. Sean d'epagnier (developer of pypilot) has confirmed to me that the information should go via NMEA183 APB sentence... Best regards Vincent

I have prepared a fix for this which I will release soon.
