Compatible with Yacht Devices Autopilot YDAP-04? #34

I wonder if this plugin will work with the new NMEA 2000 autopilot from Yacht Devices YDAP-04? I recently installed this autopilot on my boat but I am struggeling to get it to work in SignalK.

In theory, it should work if you turn on Raymarine support.

sbender9 commented 3 months ago

Make sure you select the "Raymarine NMEA 2000" type and you'll need to find the device id to enter.

Ok, thanks for the super-fast reply! I'll give it another try when I'm back on the boat in 2 weeks and report here later.

Ping me on Discord when you try again. I'm interested in making sure this works...

Setting the autopilot to "Raymarine support" seems to be the solution. I didn't find the time for the needed calibration of the autopilot last weekend. So I couldn't try it out. But at least the plugin and the AP are talking to eacht other now.

I am still struggeling a bit. AP is running and talking to the NMEA 2000 network and SignalK. I did the different calibration procedures. All what is missing is navigation data. I don't get it send to the AP from AVnav or OpenCPN. I wait for my next chance to try it on sea. All my trials, except calibratio, were when moored.
