My main mistake was to treat opencpn on my raspberry differently than the one on my pc. I was sending the gps feed to it as a serial connection and openplotter was getting no gps feed.

The way to do it is to send the serial gps feed to openplotter and then distribute it to opencpn on my raspberry the same way its being sent to opencpn on my pc, via 10.10.10.1:10109 tcp

I feel like Neo in the Matrix at the end when he sees everything in green with code line everywhere on the wals, lol, not quite but still I have been trying this for 2 days.

Thank you everyone for answering, especially conachair.

YAY!!! And like gary said, try signalk as well- on the laptop in the address put in 10.10.10.1:3000
Loads of fun stuff in there

As a follow up, if i want to sent ais signal from a srd receiver to opencpn, do i use the same connection? 10.10.10.1:10109 ?

I've been trying to set up my open plotter / opencpn on my pi using a Dual xgps160. openplotter sees the device but will not connect. 1 wonder what gps others are using that connects ok.

Mine is some random gps usb i purchased on aliexpress. If its recent it should work.

Today i tried a similar setup than discussed in this tread. The difference is that i used my home wifi network to send the gps signal instead of turning the openplotter into a wifi AP. Both raspberry and laptop were on the wifi but the gps signal did not make it to my pc ( with same setup, connection etc). It did make it on my raspberry opencpn. Any thoughts?
