With BBN OS you can build a central boat computer. BBN OS is free and open source. It is based on commonly used community supported open source projects such as SignalK, PyPilot, OpenCPN, and others. BBN OS graphical user interface will let you build a cockpit front-end to all functionality of the OS from chartplotting, dashboards, weather, etc.

hotspot issues #304

Closed zjttoefs closed 1 year ago

zjttoefs commented 1 year ago

In normal operations I would like the BBN pi (lysmarine ?) to serve it's own standalone WIFI network. To connect to headlessly etc. But for installations and updates I needed to connect to another Wifi network. After having connected to another Wifi network as a client, however, I cannot bring the BBN to act as AP again. Selecting the "lysmarine hotspot" configuration in the network manager results in it trying to connect to a network of that name as a client.

You better off using wired connection to your boat router for internet access and leave pi as WiFi access point. Router serves as firewall too.

Hmm. Fair enough if that's not the intended use. But the fact that you can easily destroy your AP configuration by using the enabled UI tools without a way back feels wrong.

Openplotter is actually fairly advanced in that respect and allows both AP and client mode to be configured simultaneously.
